One bad problem is some people will see the movie and think it is the same as the book.

Spot on. Too bad, too.

Although, it might work the other way, too. A decently made film (we should live so long) would certainly promote sales of the book and, who knows?, some few people might actually read the whole thing.

On the other hand a lot of people will read the book who have never heard of it before. When they see the difference it may be their first big realization that Hollywood lies. (and by association; leftists)
