| Sumario: | This article reports that since the demise of Penguin's fledgling television division last year, book publishers have been wary of stepping into production. But Random House Inc. and HarperCollins Publishers Ltd. has recently abandoned caution with serious investments in transatlantic television and film ventures. Last month HarperCollins took the rare step of investing in a £4m production to bring a book character--Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe--back to the screen.
