Re: Book to Film adaptations - a few discussion questions. Stephen Send a noteboard - 04/06/2010 03:27:55 PM
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'd like a decent Pratchett adaptation. The Sky versions aren't the best.
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)
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.)

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.

After finishing a book I never really think "gosh that would make a good film" Mark - 04/06/2010 01:35:19 PM 854 Views
I do sometimes. Mostly with thrillers or the like. Rebekah - 05/06/2010 04:13:27 PM 813 Views
Luhrman largely stuck to Shakespeare's dialogue, though... and that worked amazingly well imho. *NM* Legolas - 05/06/2010 04:25:08 PM 387 Views
