Speaking to MTV News, Cate Blanchett revealed that she is keen on turning Marisa Acocella Marchetto’s graphic novel Cancer Vixen: A True Story into a feature film.
“Yes, it’s a comic novel, which I’m hoping will come up. It’s a really unique book. It’s about a cartoonist’s look at her contracting cancer, and the process of getting cancer” said Blanchett. Her production company recently acquired the film rights to the property.
She notes that the right director will be key to the novel’s transition to the big-screen, as he/she will have to handle the mix of dark humor and pathos.
Blanchett is currently busy performing in a stage play, playing several roles including that of King Richard II in the Sydney Theatre Company’s eight-hour epic production “The War of the Roses”.

After recently reading the WHOLE book I can only say this movie would have the potential of a “notebook” or “titanic” etc., etc.,
I say WHOLE book because I am not e reader. I have not read a book in twenty years plus. I read many a college text (not sure they count) but VEEEEEERY seldom a book for pleasure. I read page one of “cancer vixen” and the next thing I knew I read the WHOLE book. All I can say is Kate I’ll be waiting for the movie!!!!!!!
