Seriously, how difficult can it be to write a historical feature length screenplay about this?
She's a babe.
I'd eat her.

Somehow Terrence Malick's 'The New World' didn't quite capture the grisliness of this period!
It's a beautiful film, for anyone who hasn't seen it.
I love Malick's visual style.

After [Captain John] Smith was forced to return to England due to an explosion during a trading expedition, the colony was led by George Percy, who proved incompetent in negotiating with the native tribes. During what became known as the "Starving Time" in 1609–1610, over 80% of the colonists perished, and the island was briefly abandoned that spring. During these first years of the colony, many of the people lived in cavelike holes dug into the ground, and in the winter of 1609-1610, they were
″...driven through insufferable hunger to eat those things which nature most abhorred, the flesh and excrements of man as well of our own nation as of an Indian, digged by some out of his grave after he had laid buried there days and wholly devoured him; others, envying the better state of body of any whom hunger has not yet so much wasted as their own, lay wait and threatened to kill and eat them; one among them slew his wife as she slept in his bosom, cut her in pieces, salted her and fed upon her till he had clean devoured all parts saving her head...″
