WTF Kevin Sullavan???!!!

"Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning"

Plot summery from IMDb:

Anne, now a middle-aged woman, is troubled by recent events in her life. Her husband, Gilbert, has been killed overseas as a medical doctor during World War II. Her two daughters are pre-occupied with their own young families and her adopted son Dominic has yet to return from the war. When a long-hidden secret is discovered under the floorboards at Green Gables, Anne retreats into her memories to relive her troubled early years prior to arriving as an orphan at Green Gables and being adopted by the Cuthberts. Still haunted by her early childhood, the impact of this difficult period has a far-reaching effect on this older woman, once she discovers the truth about her real parents. She begins a delicate search for her birth father. It is a journey through a past fraught with danger, uncertainty, heartache and joy. In the parade of humanity Anne encounters she also faces the root of her desire to find true "kindred spirits", an inspired imagination and the impetus to use her talents as a writer to inspire others.

Gilbert killed in World War II??? Her "Birth Father"??? None of the original cast (that I can see)???

Kevin Sullivan needs to be stopped, now. I can see the headline now. "Semi-Famous Writer/Director beat to death by a mob of book fans."

wtf is right! Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote 8 freaking books - plenty of material to work with but instead he has to make up completely new ridiculous crap. The last one where she goes searching for Gilbert during the war was silly enough why torture us further. The only thing i enjoyed was seeing them get married. Birth father? Dude died when she was a baby - nobody to find. Ugh. I would love to see any of the books about their married life adapted - why why why?

Ill probably watch it still but wont be happy. Hmph!

A bit of a silver lining - at least it isn't Uwe Boll.

The website has the trailer and other resources. From the trailer it seems that they are saying the orphan Anne was all a story she made up and this is the "real" Anne. Let's that's what I'm getting.

::shaking my head:: Nonononononono! God, I barely made it thru the last movie and that was only with the help of my best friend. I am just going to pretend nothing exists after the mini-series, my mind is made up

Say what?! I hate it when they mutilate a good book by making it into a crappy movie. Seriously.

Not Anne of Green Gables! Why Anne of Green Gables? That is such a classic story. I think I'm going to cry.
