Re: Book to Film adaptations - a few discussion questions. Mats imaginary friend Send a noteboard - 06/06/2010 04:39:57 AM
Following on from the question on Film to Book adapations, here are some questions about the reverse.

1. What book would you most like to see adapted to film or TV?


I want to see a film adaptation of the Star Wars movie novelizations. Yeah. I said it.

But really, I think the Mistborn books by Brandon Sanderson could have some seriously bad-ass visuals for a movie.

I can't think of much else I'd like to see that hasn't already been whored out to Hollywood yet right now.


Slightly related:

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.)


Films of plays over staged if they are dramatic, but comedy sketch type plays are fun to see on stage.

Luhrman largely stuck to Shakespeare's dialogue, though... and that worked amazingly well imho. *NM* Legolas - 05/06/2010 04:25:08 PM 457 Views
