David Mamet to Direct "Diary of Anne Frank"

if Mamet does it then I supose it might be good. I just hope he isn't going so far as to draw comparisons to Schindlers List and actually make it about Anne herself.

Being There is an amazing film by the way. so i'm glad Andrew Braunsberg is involved as well.

Hasn't this been done like, oooh I dunno - 300 times? The story is great - but the movies about it are kind of as dead as those 300 spartans are. Historical and famous yes - but dead. Leave it alone and stop making remakes on remakes on remakes on remake-.... You get my point.

Anne Frank...World Hide and seek champion 1942-1944.

Teenager hiding in an attic.

HAWT!

I can't wait to hear Anne Frank, in traditional Mamet fashion, shout the words "Fuck this fucking Holocaust!"

I'd rather watch R Kelly's Trapped in the Closet.

Disney? ... guess Anne Frank will sail away on a hot air balloon just as the SS burst in the room

with hillary duff?

trailers already out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDvq7XMESas

Could be a good film, but sounds like another film that's going to be made for the academy awards

i think its funny when they talk about anne frank in clerks 2

Chanukkah is for closers?

Mamet's gold.

disney version : anne lives, its a musical regardless of having to stay quiet so they dont get caught, she falls in love with a talking rat and she escapes the attic at night for recon intell.

Get Donald Sutherland for the wise old owl she talks to at night and you've got yourself a deal.

Who cares, I know how this ends.

Just pointing this out to you again, here's the trailer for the movie.

Get ready for David Mamet's Anne Frank: Retribution! As the Nazis open the closet door, Anne stands there, machine gun in hand, and glares into the sullen eyes of the enemy. She shouts, "Time for you muthafuckin' cockroach fuckas to get your goddamn comeuppance! It's time to be Frank!!! Anne cuts down the Nazis with a crazed look in her eyes. With her growing reputation as a badass Jewish motherfucker, she singlehandedly drives the Nazis back to Berlin. Coming summer 2011!!!

Eh, she looks fat in that picture. I really don't want to watch a 2 hour movie about some fat girl with a writing problem talking about cup cakes and her back fat.

lol.

wtf?...i've seen more than 2 movies based on this story....they say there's several tv shows...and DISNEY of all companies should know well enough that this isn't a KIDS movie...that's just one thing, here's another....since when does disney start making films based on the holocaust???...i know the holocaust is an important thing for people to know...and no offense, but for disney to do this, i don't see kids begging the shit out of their mommies and daddies to see this...couldn't a different company make it?...i mean they're gonna show us in a pg or pg-13 rating what happened to these people...when an R-rating could be more realistic, or a documentary...or a film based on true events...not some silly modern made up version

@ douche....that was hilarious

c-prime, good call. Cant wait to hear all the fucks in the movie. i'm sure disney will approve too! My friend and I were re-quoting GGR but with WW2 references. try it, its fun!

FUCK JEWS bring NOTHING to the table

Shame Hitler wasn't smart enough to exterminate enough

KROQ, your a fucking idiot.
