I was going to say it’s wild that the adaptation was considered, but then I remembered that ‘Leon the Professional’ exist. Not to say that the quality was likely to be the same, Leon is a damn good movie, but boy have I seen people do some serious mental gymnastics saying that character isn’t a groomer.
Fair. I didn’t really mean to condemn Leon. I just think, the whole point of the romance is to be inappropriate. It’s one of the many unsettling things in the film, and it’s supposed to be weird.
I was more suggesting that there is a precedent for live action films with inappropriate age differences.
