Yeah that’s what I mean, they’ll have to go beyond what’s in the source material. I’ve only read the book and haven’t done any research beyond that, so I don’t know if there’s that much real life story to tell with Ernest, but it’s possible they invent more stuff for dramatic license.

I mean I think there is plenty to show and tell of their lives. I bet they refocus the film to center the Burkhart family and show their life and wealth and how they deal with the loses of their family members close and distant along with their relationship with Hale and his role in the community. Then will have White and the investigation and all the craziness that happened there but show him struggling with a community that is lying and benefiting from these deaths.

Did you ever watch the short documentarymade about this? It aired in PBS.
