That's a possibility that hadn't occurred to me. The feeling may indeed be that the target audience for the film, which, let's face it, is none of us, wouldn't necessarily relate easily to a governess. And one thing we shouldn't forget is that we were warned fairly early on that they planned to make some significant changes to the story. I believe it was producer (and former DCP exec) David Kennedy who was really adamant that such changes take place.

Though I think having her be a waitress is going to make people not aware of the original show think they copped it from True Blood.
Quite possibly.

I'm wondering what the heck the plot of the movie will be if they're going with the kidnapping Maggie storyline. Where would the story end? When she escapes?
It is fascinating to contemplate. Though it's probably best to wait until the governess/waitress question is settled by a reliable source before getting too deep into such contemplation.

I was hoping for a period piece myself, but I'm excited about this regardless!
A lot of fans seemed to think a Barnabas origin story might have been fun as the first film.
