Re: BBC did a miniseries.

I mean I definitely agree that there are a lot of great classic books out there that could become movies, but I think it's pretty clear why Little Women in particular has a lot of appeal for audiences, actors, and directors alike.

(1) Lots of good female roles in an ensemble cast, so makes it easier to attract "stars" which makes studio heads more likely to pick it up.

(2) Proto-feminist and obliterates the Bechdel test but does so without being "controversial" in a way that could alienate audiences (and honestly, the audience it might alienate is straight men, who probably weren't going to see a movie with "women" in the title anyways)

(3) Has appeal for female-identifying people of all ages. Like it's totally a movie that you could hit up w/ your mom and grandma and little sibling and potentially all enjoy it.

(4) Literary appeal and prestige but is in public domain (so the film makers don't need to pay for royalties).
