So there's a book and it's adapted into a movie. Most of the time, fans of the book are disappointed in the movie, and fans of the movie are disappointed when they read the book. It's an interesting phenomenon. What is it that makes us so disappointed? Why are screenwriters and directors so bad at recognizing what makes certain books successful? Can all books be adapted into movies that really work?
I'll be looking at some specific examples in this blog. Coming soon: Girl, Interrupted, Atonement, and lots of Stephen King adaptations.
