Death poets society with girls?

It seems like Eva playing the female John Keating (played by "Captain my captain" Robin Williams...). It is certainly challenging!

I sure hope so! Though the details are very scarce

I read recently in www.evagreenweb.com some details about the script and it seems that the concept is somewhat different. Check also for the book (in amazon) "Cracks" by Sheila Kohler.

This movie sounds more like the 1969 film "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" (starring Maggie Smith) than "The Dead Poets Society", though both have similar storylines.

Both good film but Cracks(going by the book) is nothing like the above two films, totally different in story.

I just finished the book and retract my previous statement - it's not really at all like "Jean Brodie" (the movie version), though there are quite a few elements in the book that are similar to "Cracks".
