It was a good book and there's already a pretty solid film adaptation. I'm not sure how much more we can do with Orlando. That being said, it's a great story to come back to relevance in 2024.
I think it's because the list just isn't all that interesting… are you as hyped about all the new works based on Virginia Wolfe's Orlando as I am?
Academically, it's interesting to think over the media that would already be in public domain had Sonny Bono and Clinton not sold us out… basically everything through World War II, and (since all anyone brings up is Steamboat Willie) all the big foundational Disney movies from Snow White through Bambi and Dumbo. Makes one wonder if this fad for "live-action remakes" isn't connected…
