Could you see Guy de Maupassant: Selected Stories being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

N/A

Any additional comments?

Yeah, don't let this guy read anymore. From the reader of "The Horla", anyway. It was so disturbing listening to his plodding, badly-accented speech that it really took any enjoyment away from the story.
