Reboot as a Miniseries.


I loved the book, never saw the movie till a couple of years ago and then again over the weekend. If they can do a miniseries and add in what was left out, all the other characters like Goldman and properly show that C.W.Jr was not lucky to just be put out of his misery with one bullett, gruesome though his real end was. The aftermath of what happened to Younger Bro, Father, and Mother and Tateh and how Tateh became the producer of a very famous shorts about a mixed group of neighborhood kids, poor rich,black, white etc. I think the time is right for this kind of film.

I'd accept a mini-series (there's a lot to cover), but I'm hoping for a movie version of the Broadway musical which should have won over "The Lion King".
