The Phantom Menace imlad Send a noteboard - 27/05/2010 01:04:14 PM
The novelization was more enjoyable for me than the movie was (though I did love the movie).

We know there is often a lot of controversy over book to film adaptations, but we don't often talk about things the other way round. I've read one decent one (the book version of The Piano is better than the film, imo) but don't know of any others.

Can this "genre" ever succeed?

Have you read good examples?
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

I kind of feel like a film to book adaption is not....really a book? Spriteling - 27/05/2010 09:16:25 PM 1222 Views
I see your point, and to a large extent I agree, but... Cockatiel of Doom - 01/06/2010 12:35:53 AM 840 Views

Exactly. I loved the film so much I freaked out when I saw the book in a Motel giftstore. Gher - 29/05/2010 03:22:45 AM 917 Views

In answer to your question, the genre will never succeed. Tom - 30/05/2010 02:41:43 PM 914 Views
