Books into movies is extremely popular subject nowadays. Especially YA literature is butchered left and right by producer, directors, actors... But no matter how bad some of them turn up, i always go the see the next!That's why I get a little scared when some of my favorite books are making an appearance on screen. Time has taught me that not all books are as lucky as Harry Potter and Lord of The Rings.
Here are a few that I'm most anxious about scheduled to come out the following mounts:
- THE MAZE RUNNER -
This one’s on top of my list because I love Dylan O'brien and for anybody who even glimpsed at Teen Wolf will know what I'm talking about. He is so good (looking). Wink

I haven’t read the books but they were among the first once I bought when I got interested in YA literature. They are always in the beck of my mind as a next read, I might even get around to them after the movie.

And of course, most HYPED about right now is none other than …
I know this one is already out, but I haven’t seen it yet. I read a review/recap/commentary on The Midnight Garden and I'm very curios to see how this story works on the big screen. Talk around the internet is that the chemistry between the two LEADS is uncanny. Cant wait!
What books-into-movies are you most excited to watch?
I thought they did a good job with Divergent. I was ok with the changes they made.
ReplyDeleteI am really excited for Maze Runner - I struggled through the book a bit and want to see it come to life.
The Giver better be epic or I am going to be really sad!

I was thinking about seeing the Divergent movie, but the Rotten Tomato score is super low... so I will probably wait to watch it later. I saw the Maze Runner trailer a couple of days ago and it looked EPIC! It totally made me want to read the books :P
ReplyDeleteNow im even more excited to see divergent!
ReplyDeleteI have started maze runner for three times and didn't finished - dont know why - but i def wont to see the movie.
the giver has to be epic meryl streep's in it!
you say Rotten Tomato score is super low? i haven't seen it, but to be honest i haven't even look for it, i (unsuccessfully) try not to read/search too much comments or reviews about divergent! :) i just want to see and judge for my self
ReplyDeleteI make it a rule of mine to always read the book before seeing the movie for some reason. Except with Harry Potter, I kind of cheated on those ;) I liked Divergent, but some things were kind of off with it.
ReplyDeleteI had the same rule until recently, but i found i enjoy the film more if the book its not that fresh in my mind (or if its not in my mind all together). :)
ReplyDeletei cheated with Harry also (iv seen the first 3 movies then read the next 4 books, and then read the first 3!)
man i have to wait for a mount to see divergent ... you all giving me tiny teasers is killing me! literally!
yeah you are right, that's low, but its not a definite indicator that the movie is bad, there were a plenty of movies i loved that show a low score on RT
ReplyDeleteI'm super excited to watch Divergent and The Giver (being one of my all time fav books!) I hope they live up to the books.
