Q: Last May, it was announced that Oprah Winfrey and HBO were collaborating on a film based on the book ‘The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks’ by Rebecca Skloot. What is the latest news on the project, and is there any chance it will be out by April?

The project is still in development, a rep at HBO tells us. Though it is too early to disclose specifics, HBO says, the originally announced details are still the same. With no confirmed screenwriter, cast or shoot date, a launch in spring 2011 isn’t likely, but perhaps you can see Skloot at one of her upcoming appearances. Check rebeccaskloot.com for a calendar of events she will be attending.
