...the screenplay is not a retelling of the famous Holocaust drama taken from the diaries of Frank, but about a contemporary Jewish girl who goes to Israel and learns about the traumas of suicide bombing. [EDIT] "It's very intense, and dark and scary," said the executive. "It's not a film version of 'The Diary of Anne Frank.' The story evolved into something more intense."...says TheWrap HERE. I always thought THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK was pretty dark, scary, and intense. I suppose the quoted executive means Mammet's work was 'dark, scary, and intense' in a different way?
