   The original article did say the new version is going back to the   
   source material, the original book ... but it *is* Hollyweird, so the   
   people making the new movie *will* undoubtedly make all sorts of   
   ridiculous changes to suit their own over-bloated egos for how they   
   think it "should have" been written.   :-\
