Everyone has their favorite children's book- Where the Wild things are, Cloudy with a chance of meatballs... Oh wait, aren't those movies too?Popular books are popular movies these days. If it's a long book, it's acceptable. But REALLY? A 20 page book can NOT fufill an hour and a half movie. These movies end up either sucking, a lot, or not even having the same plot line.
The film makers go all out, and end up changing many things. Of course, things have to be changed in order for a book to become a movie, but seriously? At LEAST get a longer book.
Popular adult books have trouble putting everything INTO the movie, and usually leave things out. Well, popular children's books are looking for everything they can add. Here's a list of books made into movies.
Anyways, I'm currently writing a story on books made into movies,and It'll be in our issue coming out in December.
Personally, Where the Wild Things Are was a really, really bad remake. But it was filmed in Australia, so everything's okay.
ReplyDeletelol but but still I don't like it when they make movies out of books, then change the entire plot completely! No where in that book was there a mention of divorce or anything, but they just added the whole real world to it.
