David Mamet‘s new film Anne Frank may never happen due to it’s very dark subject matter.

The article says provocateur playwright and filmmaker David Mamet (“Heist,” “Spartan”) was hired to pen the adaptation, but the script he turned in was not a retelling of the famous Holocaust drama taken from the diaries of Frank,

Instead Mamet delivered the story of a contemporary Jewish girl who goes to Israel and learns about the traumas of suicide bombing. The script apparently delivers a pro-Israeli exploration of modern anti-Semitism.

“It’s very intense, and dark and scary. It’s not a film version of ‘The Diary of Anne Frank.’ The story evolved into something more intense” says one insider, indicating the subject matter is too difficult for Disney to produce or distribute.

Doesn’t exactly sound like Disney material, but hopefully the film will see the light of day. David Mamet is a brilliant writer.
