This part of the article is the most pleasing:
"Based on the 1973 novel, the film follows a seven-year-old boy who has a run in with real-life witches. Zemeckis’ version will be more rooted in the original source material, which had a much darker, franchise-beginning finale (the young boy remains a mouse and must spend his short life hunting and killing all of those registered in the Grand High Witch’s address book)."
I really like Nicholas Roeg's film, but the ending bugs me because I love the way the book finishes.
