To me at least, this seems exactly like the sort of story that the jaded and cynical critics would slobber and drool all over..of course, favorable critical reviews do not a big box office debut make.

I'm not so sure why everyone thinks that this movie wouldn't be made or that the difficult things wouldn't be included from a content standpoint. The only real objection I see to keeping it true to the story would be the incest as I don't think that the suicide would be a particular stumbling block. It would be a controversial movie, but I don't think that in and of itself would keep it from being made. It might not do as well at the box office as LOTR.

Of course, moviemakers often change the story for no good reason anyway, so...
