Two more things that would make a Sil film wonderful:
1) Make it a mini-series, not a feature film. It's already very long and very episodic. A mini-series would give the producers plenty of breathing room to go into detail, and it could eventually become one of those classics like "I, Claudius," or "The Thorn Birds."
2) Hire István Szabó to direct it. The man is a genius at handling morally ambiguous characters, witness the films Taking Sides, which is about the investigation of Wilhelm Furtwängler, and Sunshine, which is one of my favorite movies ever. (much of my Sil cast comes from Sunshine)
