Hmmmm. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 05/06/2010 04:16:11 PM
1. What book would you most like to see adapted to film or TV?

I'd like a decent Pratchett adaptation. The Sky versions aren't the best.

Mostly because they have David Jason in them in roles which don't work. Although I liked him as Alfred. Did you see Making Money?


2. What would you least like to see (things that haven't yet been adapted)?

Wheel of Time, The Catcher in the Rye (even though I'm not a big fan of the book, or posssibly because of this fact)

Why not WoT?


Do you prefer to see plays on the stage or on film? (I mean film versions of the plays, not stage performances that have been filmed.)

I prefer plays on stage. The only filmed plays that I've seen were of King Lear, and were sub-TV Movie of the Week quality.

Awww. You need to try more of them. Kenneth Branagh's version of Hamlet is superb, as is the film of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.

After finishing a book I never really think "gosh that would make a good film" Mark - 04/06/2010 01:35:19 PM 931 Views
I do sometimes. Mostly with thrillers or the like. Rebekah - 05/06/2010 04:13:27 PM 860 Views
Luhrman largely stuck to Shakespeare's dialogue, though... and that worked amazingly well imho. *NM* Legolas - 05/06/2010 04:25:08 PM 410 Views
