There might be hope yet for fans of the FX show "The Riches". Today Eddie Izzard announced that the team behind the show is working on a movie version of "The Riches".

While the show was critically acclaimed and especially Izzard and co-star Minnie Driver received praise and award nominations, viewer numbers just weren't enough for a renewal by FX Networks. Just last month the show was officially canceled.

Izzard didn't reveal much about plans for the movie, but did indicate that a meeting took place and that the writers are working on a possible story. He also mentioned that the current financial situation is "perfect" to make an "independently-funded film version of the show"
