Some things should not become brands.

Okay, this news makes me MEGA uncomfortable: there are apparently THREE Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl adaptations in the works, one of which is going to be animated movie(?!?), one of which is a live-action feature film, and one of which is apparently unauthorized. I cannot tell you how creepy I find it that people are talking about the Anne Frank "brand", and making plans to "link [Frank's] story to a fictionalized modern narrative", and arguing over the authorization of various Anne Frank-affiliated organizations.
