Movie Adaptations: Serena

So, apparently they are making a movie of Serena, by Ron Rash. Not sure how I feel about this (not sure how I felt about the book, honestly; see 11/9/2011 notes), but I think...good? It's a very dramatic book, and the landscape-setting is awesome, so I think you could film it just wonderfully - lots of possibilities for drama and power. As far as the casting, I really have no opinion on either of the two main characters they've named. Interesting, using a relatively young actress to play Serena, given that a lot of impetus of the story surrounds her power and strength, particularly as she lords it over a bunch of rough loggers, and her drive to get pregnant. Might make for a compelling conflict of expectations, as well as recognizing that women often married younger then...
