In addition to my last post, one of the strengths of the books was that it didn't glamorise the kids' actions. They killed people, blew up ports with massive bombs, attacked their enemy's bases, destroyed bridges, etc but they were incredibly conflicted about what they'd done and the lives they'd taken. Can you see that coming across in a movie?
No, it's going to become an action film with explosions happening in slow motion and the audience cheering as the gooks get killed.
Oh, spoilers by the way.

There are ways around that, if Marsden is keeping an eye on the procedings, perhaps he can pursuade the direction of the film, so that it keeps focus on how Ellie and her friends deal with the consequences of their actions. I just hope the director knows what he is doing.
