With all this Books vs The Movie talk; I realise that I’m very pessimistic about the entire endeavour. While generally, I despise the thought of adaptation as a practice, and criticise Hollywood for not being imaginative enough to come up with their own ideas, I’m about to admit the holes in my argument against...
As a follow-up to the previous post, I’ve decided it would be a good idea to list here the reasons why somebody somewhere would adapt a book into a film. And here they are: Money Yes, sometimes a book gets the kind of popularity that all writers dream about accomplishing one day, and Hollywood...
I vaguely threatened to write a ‘High Horse’ post on here. Time to follow through. *cracks knuckles* Ready?
