Bambi, but even more of a gut-punch

According to Dark Horizons, Sarah Polley is in talks to direct a live-action remake of Disney's Bambi, based on the 1923 Austrian novel of the same name by Felix Salten. I like Sarah Polley, but, uh, does the world really want to see a Bambi adaptation that features the mom dying, but now with 300% more searing realism? Because that's what they're signing us up for.
