‘I often wonder why Witness has never been made into a film’

April 29, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

Via American Conservative:

Yes, Witness could make a marvelous film—could, if handled well artistically. We have received many offers over the years for a film based on Witness. We have reached no agreements, though several filmmakers have conversations going. Of course, the Whittaker Chambers family would demand total control over storyline—we’ve already seen plenty of distortions over the years. Also, no one wants to get caught up in a fight like A Perfect Storm.
