Disney to Remake Diary of Anne Frank
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Disney, Adaptation, Drama, Remakes, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
Disney has hired playwright David Mamet to create a screenplay based on the Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, that incredibly sad tale of a Jewish girl who eventually died (at age 15) in a German concentration camp. Yeah, doesn’t sound like the usual Disney fare to me, either. I fully expect heavy changes to the story.
According to Disney, the film will be based on a combination of Anne Frank’s diary, published in the 1940s, the 1950s play about the material created by Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich and Mamet’s own interpretation of the material…which sounds like enough confused confliction for a Disney movie.
