London -- U.K. commercial web ITV said Friday that it has shelved plans for a lavish new adaptation of Em Forster's novel "A Passage to India."
The broadcaster said the plan to scrap the drama was for financial reasons, with the global economic downturn playing no small part in the decision.
The high-end adaptation was due to start shooting in January and had a who's-who of British talent lined up to star, including Matthew Macfadyen, Laurence Fox, Gemma Jones. Talks were ongoing with "Happy-Go-Lucky" star Sally Hawkins.
It is reported that ITV beat out competition from the BBC to secure the rights to the novel and had been in preproduction on it for weeks now. Originally planned as an in-house ITV Studios production for the commercial web, the show was planned for flagship channel ITV1.
