Lots of eye brows were raised when it was first announced that controversial playwright and filmmaker, David Mamet, would be teaming up with the family friendly Walt Disney Co. to adapt “The Diary of Anne Frank.”

According to The Wrap, apparently the studio realized their vision was incompatible with Mamet’s after the writer turned in a pro-Israel exploration of modern anti-Semitism that doesn’t actually center on events surrounding Anne Frank’s account but takes place in the present day.

According to insiders the project would follow a modern girl who travels to Israel and learns about the horrors of suicide bombings and the continued prevalence of anti-Semitism in today’s world.

“It’s very intense, and dark and scary,” said a Disney exec. “It’s not a film version of ‘The Diary of Anne Frank.’ The story evolved into something more intense.”

Mamet is no stranger to controversial topics attacking racial politics in the play “Race,” and social and sexual issues in “Oleanna,” among others.
