No more books turned into movies
Posted 07/30/2010 by Millenial in What happened | Submit idea in this category
I believe that most movies that have gotten their screenplay from a book or book series, it's better left as literature. For one thing the time limit puts a serious cramp on the plot, plus we start identifying actors as book characters. Every time that actor does another movie it's like "hey it's harry potter!". Bleh. As a writer myself, I think that selling your art to Hollywood just to make your first million is the wrong reason. It's not that I don't think film is an art form in itself, but what's wrong with writing your own freaking screenplay?

It is good idea but I still feel that books are turning into movies more and more. In some situations I feel that those movies which are followed by books creates a great interest of fans to watch them just like Twilight and Harry Potter.
