Ok, so who knows if any of these movies will get Oscars, but there are just SO MANY MOVIES this year that are based off of books! I thought I would let everyone know the ones that are out, or about to come out.
If you didn't know that Divergent was out in theatres, you officially have been living under a rock. Based on Veronic Roth's novel of the same name, Divergent looks like it could be killer (and I have heard it is, but I hardly ever watch movies anymore. I should mention I JUST saw HP movie 7 & 8 for the first time a few days ago.) Want to read the book first? Then go read our review of it.
Ok, so TECHNICALLY it's not based on a book. But it IS based on a fairy tale, which we've talked about extensively on this blog. And Malificent (coming out in just a week) looks like it's going to be a fabulous "other side of the story" telling of the movie.
Who doesn't absolutely love John Green? We certainly do, and not just for this book (though, we liked that too.) The movie promises to be sweet and amazing and, of course, a real tear jerker. Also, there's a good chance it'll hold pretty true to the book. John Green has done multiple interviews saying he didn't want the book made into a movie if it wasn't going to be done correctly. The book was deeply personal to him, and it looks like he's held the movie up to the same standards.
This is one movie that I desperately hope they don't screw up. The Maze Runner is an amazing book, and could potentially make an amazing movie, but it doesn't always work out that way. Guess we'll just have to wait until September to find out.
What books to movies are you most looking forward to?
