In which a filmatisation is demanded

It seems bizarre that (according to an IMDB character search) no one's made a film about Mary Wollstonecraft yet. The script treatment basically writes itself; you wouldn't have to invent questionable love affairs like the Becoming Jane writers, or try to create conflict from the most stable marriage in history like the Young Victoria writers. And there are (at least) two awesome male leads. This year is the 250th anniversary of her birth and someone at the BBC needs to GET ON IT. I would also accept a miniseries.

(Incidentally, there should be slightly less Historical Facts Madness from here on out - we had our last 18th-century Ladies class today, alas.)

Du burde tipse Vicky, hun gikk jo skriptskriverkurs? Eller skrive et forslag selv og sende til BBC. Jeg vil se den filmen. mamma
