Novel to Movie Phenomenon

Last few years, Hollywood brought more novel worlds into reel. They chose good and best sellers novels, hired best crews and movie stars and got their money back immediately. Why do the producers pick such way? The scriptwriters are lack out of story? The producers don’t wanna take risks so they make movie form story people already knew?

I think so. It is of the reasons. Just as comic to movie and sequels, the producers will have more money easily. Most people who have read it, go to the movie. Plus, people who haven’t read it production house will get double.

Besides, I – as novel reader and OK, I’m a bookworm – feel curious, very curious with the world inside the book. The scenery, the costumes, the interactions between, the fight, the love scene. What will it look like? Is it bad, good enough or superb? Does it have to be directed by other person to make it better? And the most important, how does the main characters look like?

Sometimes, it’s better not to take it to reel. The authors have written it as good as they can and brought us such a wonderful world. Our imaginations are dancing when we read. Each of us doesn’t have the same imaginations. We can’t blame others if they have different imaginations because we can’t see their minds. It’s the best thing from novel.

We said book “X” is very good. Two thumbs up. In few weeks, it became one of best sellers of the year. The producer saw good opportunity in it and bla bla bla… the next year, the movie is on screen. People who have read it, wants to see the movie. But, what if – we feel – the director didn’t transform it well? We say the movie didn’t suit our imaginations. It is not the same with what we’ve thought. The movie will break the beauty of the novel.

I think you know what movies I mean. Should I mention them?

Sorry, no offense. This is just my opinion.
