Q: What is one book that you would be nervous to see a movie
adaption of because you think the movie could never live up to the book?
I'm most nervous about The Host coming out on March 29th 2013. The book has so much inner dialogue between Wanda and Melanie and those interactions contain so much of the emotion of the story. I have no idea how that will be portrayed in the movie. Voice-overs maybe? I'm still excited but movies are never as good as the books because of this. Movies leave out all the internal dialogue of the characters so I never feel as much emotion and understanding of the characters as I do while reading the books.

That's one of my choices too. I just don't know how they can capture everything in the book in a movie!

I have The Host waiting for me to read on my TBR bookcase so I'm going to have to take your word for it on this one. Love the creepy ring of "light" in her eye in the poster!

I haven't read this one because I'm not a big fan of her other series but I think I might see it to the theater.
ReplyDeletehere is mine
I've noticed a few people expressing some worries over whether or not the film adaptation of The Host would turn out as well as they'd hoped it would. I'm starting to get a little tense about it, myself. I'm wondering how they're going to really capture that internal dialouge between Wanderer and Melanie. It's definitely going to be interesting.
ReplyDeleteGreat answer. :)

Actually the trailer for "The Host" absolutely terrified me. I hope it exceeds your expectations for it though. :)

Hi, I am anxious to see "The Host" also. It will definitely be interesting to see if it does the book justice.

I haven't read The Host yet but I would be interested to see how they do the internal dialogue too. I'm not looking forward to the Mortal Instruments movie, as you say, the movie is never as good as the book.

I haven't read The Host yet, and a lot of people have answered this, I'd better read it before it comes out in 2013! Great choice! Old follower and thanks for dropping my fff.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they're pulling a HEROES on it? In the first two seasons or so the blond woman who was freakishly strong was suffering from dissociative personality disorder, I think.. Though, no, not really. It was a mixture. She was more aware of those personalities than most people are, and she could communicate with at least one of them as if they were standing next to her. They kind of did what happened in New Moon when Bella sees Edward everywhere, or in Buffy Season Seven when Buffy faces the Big Bad.
ReplyDelete*scratches head* Damn it.
Hopping through. I hope they do The Host right. I do think Saoirse is gorgeous.

I haven't actually read this one yet. But I've seen a lot of people talking about it and getting excited for the movie, so maybe I'll finally read it before it comes to the theaters!

I'm also nervous about this movie! even more because I didn't like who they cast >.< they simply weren't how I pictured them - At all. But Oh well, we just gotta trust that they won't do a bad job :/
ReplyDeleteand when the heck does Stephanie Meyer plan on releasing the rest of the series?
