David Mamet, Anne Frank, Disney

Variety reports that Disney will be remaking The Diary of Anne Frank, with David Mamet writing and directing. The new screenplay will be based both on Frank's original diary and the play by Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich. While this news makes us a bit uneasy (do we really need another version?) Mamet's remake of The Winslow Boy was unexpectedly riveting, and his Jewish-themed Homicide threw some sparks too.
