That makes me think about "book to film to book" adaptations ursidae Send a noteboard - 27/05/2010 09:58:29 PM
I think I have seen a couple of those.
I actually think I have the book version of Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula" laying somewhere. Horrible thought...

I think there are others, such as Jurassic Park (the original novel differs quite a bit from 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?

I kind of feel like a film to book adaption is not....really a book? Spriteling - 27/05/2010 09:16:25 PM 1317 Views
I see your point, and to a large extent I agree, but... Cockatiel of Doom - 01/06/2010 12:35:53 AM 918 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 1004 Views

I would count 2001 since it was not written from the book *NM* random thoughts - 29/05/2010 02:50:11 AM 434 Views
In answer to your question, the genre will never succeed. Tom - 30/05/2010 02:41:43 PM 1002 Views
