So, which of these adaptations are you the most excited about? The second season of Bridgerton (particularly as I’ve read the second book which will be the storyline for this season). I’m also interested to see the new Lord of the Rings TV series as well (though I must admit I’ve not read the books - I found them too hard to read when I was young and never tried again, but I really enjoyed the films).
What is your all-time favourite book adaptation? Pride and Prejudice 1995 miniseries which is tied with the 2009 miniseries of Emma.
What book(s) would you like to see adaptated into a film or a TV series? The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
What is the worst film/TV adaptation in your opinion? The Golden Compass - I’m so glad that BBC/HBO did His Dark Materials because they adapted it way much better.
The LOTR books were much easier to read when I got older although reading them sort of ruined a bit of the movies for me. One of my favorite characters Eomer had a much much bigger role in the books and he was pretty much shoved in the background in the movies. Even the genius Peter Jackson can't live up to my standards. LOL
Most excited - Probably a Discovery of Witches,or the LoTR prequel.. But I can't believe they missed the new Jack Reacher series starting on Amazon this week... I am definitely watching that!
All time favourite- Anne of Green Gables (very early version in the 70s)
Book adapted - Dragonrider by Anne McCaffrey. But I wanted Michael Praed to play F'lar, and he's too old now...
Worst adaptation- most of them, to be honest. I almost always prefer the book!
So, which of these adaptations are you the most excited about?
There are a couple. Mostly Salem's Lot, (as long as they don't turn it into the mess like the latest The Stand. And Killers of the Flower Moon. The book was exceptional.
What is your all-time favourite book adaptation?
The Dead Zone. Which is why I could never watch the tv series.
What book(s) would you like to see adapted into a film or a TV series?
I'd like them to continue with Jeff Shaara's Civil War novels, specifically the ones dealing with Grant.
What is the worst film/TV adaptation in your opinion?
Oh God, I don't know how they managed to ruin The Stand when they had 9 hours to tell the tale, and they still managed it. I still love the original TV miniseries, though.
Oooh, Dead Zone. Good pick. That was a great adaptation.
So, which of these adaptations are you the most excited about? Death on the Nile for sure. I loved Murder on the Orient Express - moreso because I was completely ignorant to the story, so it was quite a surprise at the the end.
What is your all-time favourite book adaptation? The very unpopular Sahara .. that movie got me wanting to know the characters more, and I ended up buying every single Clive Cussler book that was available, to that point.
What book(s) would you like to see adaptated into a film or a TV series? I have not read enough books, honestly.. but I'd love to see more of the NUMAverse (which won't happen, of course, post-Sahara. SIGH)
What is the worst film/TV adaptation in your opinion? Can't say, as I haven't read/seen enough book-to-movie titles to judge
So, which of these adaptations are you the most excited about? Most looking forward to the LOTR prequel like a few others here. I am just afraid of them messing it up.
What is your all-time favorite book adaptation? Harry Potter by far. I never thought JK Rowling's world could become any richer than her books but seeing all that magical stuff come to life was jaw dropping. Plus they were very true to the books.
What book(s) would you like to see adapted into a film or a TV series? Three Sisters, Three Queens by Philippa Gregory
What is the worst film/TV adaptation in your opinion? I hate to say this but part 3 of the Hobbit. I cannot believe how far they veered from the book when it came to the deaths of Fili, Kili. In the books they died heroically protecting Thorin. I don't want to even talk about how they died on film. *was sooooo mad*
