I'll be blunt, a petition will be a waste of time. I don't support the goal, either. Buffy and Angel fans sent deluges of mail etc but the series were still axed. Kenny is no longer in South Park despite petitions etc. It's well known that people sign up to those things even if they feel lukewarm to its object. They aren't taken seriously. As for it 'stinks she's making money off this'; I disagree. She spent a lot of time on the book and I realise you dislike the book but it isn't as if she's gleefully rubbing her hands watching the greek system erode as a result nor will it happen.
As the rights have just been purchased recently and the project may have been just greenlighted, I wouldn't take much notice of any cast lists or synopses you see. The information published at that stage is usually based on rumor or unbsubstantiated references in foreign magazines that state "so and so is involved". At best the agents of the people listed might've got sent a script (along with many others).
Also... it doesn't necessarily mean a film will be made at all just because the rights to a film have been purchased.
