There are so many good books out there I just don't understand why they have to keep remaking the same old movies over and over.

Not that they don't butcher most books with their screen writing crapola. Some stories they completely change but claim it is from the book? There also does not need to be some sort of cutesy comic relief character in every story!

Met a lady at South By South West one year when I attended a lot of the event parties. She had the rights to a story about the Mexican Air Force in WWII. There was one squadron in the US Air Force that was the whole Mexcian Air Force. They were and still are considered heros in Mexico. There was a really good story about a couple of the pilots and their love interest. She was trying to get a movie made that respected the people involved (her family) and stuck to the facts but everyone that wanted to produce the film kept changing the story around.

Found out about it as a friend hooked me up to try help her with a web site to promote the story. From the information I was given there wasn't any reason the producers and their writers were changing anything except for the sake of change and trying to put their own signature on it. They had the poor lady so messed up I had to give up because she was afraid to actually change anything about how the web site looked, and it was terrible, difficult to understand, and cheap looking.

Don't think that story will ever be made into a very cinematic documentary like she wanted and the story deserved. She was absolutely sticking to her guns about not changing the story. Just don't understand why the industry felt they had the change things. It really was a good story.
