For the demographics

Disney is going to do a movie of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple as a young woman. What's next: Nero Wolfe, Action Hero?

Thanx to laughingrat

ETA: Apparently, it is not a prequel/origin story but contemporary.

Nero Wolfe should be played by The Rock, natcherally.

Why even drag Marple's name into it? Why not invent a new Bright Young Sleuth out of whole cloth to battle the Evils of the Modern Day?

Why not make her a teenager?
