However, I like the way it could turn out but when you think about it why, would they want to get their hands dirty themselves if they have the money. Always get someone else to do your dirty work.
I also agree with the whole lost between the two works to some extent. If they were to make the movie almost identical to the short story obviously it isn’t going to make money. I agree that they aren’t really the same work and piece as the film could actually be seen in a completely different story or work.
