The title to this thread is an absoloutely terrible pun that rivals my great friend Ben Davis' offering for a competition in which you win alarm clock radios: "Beddy prize". I sincerely and wholeheartedly apologise.

However, this is a great loss to the fledgling British film industry. I think that Mingella was recently focussing on some good, raw, modern stuff. I liked Breaking and Entering (controversial comment I know) and noted that Mingella was an executive producer on the excellent Michael Clayton.
