A Tale of Two Cities

As far as I can tell the last time a notable film production of this was made was 1980. That surprised me, since it's a really great story. So I have a few questions:
Would you go see a film adaptation of this which was made with a big budget and had big names?
Why is this not already in development?
Who would you like to see direct? Star?
I think the story would resonate well given the political climate in the US today.

It's a great book though, although I haven't read in 20 years or more.

Mel Gibson direct... not sure about a star.

This is another product that might benefit for the space and time allowed by a cable presentation - not a multiple season issue, obviously, but a 4 or 5 parter would do justice to the story nicely.
Frankly, it surprises me that a network hasn't optioned all of Dickens, for example and do a different novel every season (ala American Horror Story) - same could be done with Shakespeare and bring some of the classics to life for the modern generation of television.

that would be cool.
also a brothers karamazov (sp?) miniseries would be cool.

HBO should do a miniseries

Seems perfect for that format.

Anything Dickens is worth my money.

What about a newer BBC adaption? I liked the recent Little Dorrit, haven't seen Bleak House or David Copperfield.
If it were a big budget movie I would say Joe Wright to direct, Fassbender and Mia Wasikowska or Melanie Laurent as leads.
