I've seen some interesting ideas here, but one thing hasn't been mentioned so allow me. Making a movie out of TP would cater to the audience who will not sit and read a 183(?) pg book, correct? To make a movie or documentary as it must be done, without leaving out any vital information and preserving the context of what is said would leave us with a movie that is about 7 hours long. If it stays that long it will be passed over by the same crowd that won't read the book for the very same reason. Assuming the length estimate I pulled out of thin air, to compress it into even half of that would mean having to choose what is included and what is not.
While a properly done movie or documentary may not distort anything, it can still omit important parts which is nearly as harmful. That is why I feel that any serious project to make a video about TP should summarize the message and general points, then provide fascinating 'teasers' which would arouse interest in the book. The video, if it's in documentary form, could go on to corrobarate things discussed in the book and then start painting a visual scene in which events and conversations took place. I would really love to see ancient Mu come to life on screen in all of its beauty, among other things, but to do it fully and completely in the course of a single film just seems impossible to me.
