Anything’s possible, but the problem with HoD being developed into a film production stems for Joseph Conrad’s storytelling techniques. He wrote HoD on a first-person account in memoir style that is plagued with ego and prejudices –dynamics not only hard to capture & produce via cinematography but also a perspective that is simply unattractive. This is where I applaud Coppola’s version in turning the protagonist to a sympathetic war hero who could give us a proper scope on the actual tragedies of war. I, personally, would love to (and have tried) to develop a HoD screenplay but it’s been this far too difficult to reinterpret into something that isn’t clearly racist or societally harmful.
