Yes. An author doesn't have to be living for movies to be made from their works. Lord of the Rings. Sherlock Holmes. Great Gatsby. The author's estate maintains the rights, and can choose whether or not to license those out for anything.

There are no movie rumors, only facts, as reported here. A company has received the rights to make a Redwall movie, and it is being optioned.
