I have a lousy opinion of them too. If you love your kid you don't exploit them by allowing Hollywierd to do any kind of movie on them until the kid is healed mentally and you have thought long and hard about the repercussions of this. They could easily sue Hollywierd if they try to make a movie. There is no need for a movie about this story right now. How long has it been since she came home? Not very long.

Do you really think Hollywood is going to "respect" the "healing time" of this girl. They are going to rush to make it. So instead of leaving the details to the dirty, perverted minds of Hollywood, the parents are going to control what is made. I would do the same thing if it were my daughter, and I hope you would do the same if it were yours. Money? You think this has to do with money? That says more about you than about the Smarts.

They don't have that choice. Hollywood is going to make a couple of unautherized versions whatever you do. They cannot be legally stopped. The only choice the parents have is to trade the Authorized Story rights for some control of the content of one of the movies, to try to get at least one movie to paint a sympathetic portrait of the girl.
