I am sure you could make a decent movie out of that story. The story has it all (well, what Hollywood likes) - a big challenge, a plucky young woman, commercial rivals, traitors, love. Hollywood would probably also want a crew member who is a failure but becomes a secondary hero (and possibly have his own subplot/rivalry), and they might want to remove the pregnancy aspect. Hollywood would probably also make it a modern story unfortunately.

Sorontar,
who is not saying any of his perceptions of how Hollywood would adapt the story is appropriate, but acknowledges that Hollywood has a biased view of society.

It's a wonderful story of feminine courage and skill. It would though be reduced to tale a rebellious girl side kick playing for the romantic attentions of a swashbuckling  fellow seeking redemption for past acts of infamy.
