All of the authors who are a part of Indie Fall Fest were given the
option to answer a question for Sunday Brunch. Here are their answers.
What is your favorite book to film
adaption?
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Bridie Hall
Lord of the Rings
T.A. Uner
The Hunger Games I thought was done very well.
Ruth Silver
Ooh, these are my favorite! I have so much respect for
film as its own medium. I don't get as angry as others if films aren't
perfectly representative of the book. Of course, I've never had my own book
adapted, so that might be a different story! Anne of Green Gables is my
all-time favorite adaption. The Notebook and Divergent are close second and
thirds.
K.K. Allen
Catching Fire
Erin Albert Rhew
Memoirs of a Geisha. It was just so pretty!
Cynthia Witherspoon
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Tasha Cotter
The Maze Runner! Absolutely perfect!
Shane Morgan
The Narnia Series
Heather Letto
Harry Potter. They did a really good job keeping it
true to the books.
Stacey Mosteller
The Lord of the Rings trilogy was amazing!
Amy Bartelloni
I thought they did such a great job on The Fault in
our Stars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Notebook and The Book Thief.
A.G. Porter
Pride and Prejudice
Sarah Darlington
I don't watch a lot of movies because I'd rather be
reading a book. The Harry Potter movies were beautifully done. I'm still sad
the series had to end.
Chess Desalls
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
Sarah Buhl
I've loved the Hunger Games adaptations so far. I
think they are some of the best I've seen.
Mary Waibel
Lord of the Rings - epic, faithful to the story.
(Hobbit not so much)
If Comics count as books then Captain America: Winter
Soldier
James D Horton
Sense & Sensibility
Joy Penny
It's a TV series, but Outlander on Starz is knocking
my sox off. The casting, sets, costumes, photography, acting is a work of art
worthy of these novels. I'm a sucker for anything Jane Austen, BBC or
Hollywood.
Karen Gordon
The Fault in Our Stars
Whitney Barbetti
I guess if I had to pick it'd be Harry Potter (all of
them) I am total Potter-head!
Kristen Hope Mazzola
The Notebook
J. Nathan
Lord of the Rings
K.G. McAbee
Revolutionary Road and it's not even close. I love the
film so much that is simply surpasses the book for me, and that's a rare feat.
K.B. Nelson
JAWS!!!!!!
K.R. Conway
If I Stay
Crystal Perkins
Jurassic Park. The book and movie are both completely
amazing.
Tiana Warner
Either the Harry Potter films or The Hunger Games
films.
Amy Dunne
Mists of Avalon mini-series for TV
Zané Sachs
The Hunger Games
Rae Hachton
The Hunger Games
Kira Adams
As a writer and filmmaker I have to say I don't think
an adaptation can ever reach the depths of the original text.
Rue
There have been a couple of book-to-film adaptations
that I’ve loved, but I’ll go with the most recent one. Gillian Flynn’s Gone
Girl was a great read and the movie version was as equally awesome/crazy—OK,
heavy on the crazy. It helps that the author wrote the screenplay (Ben Affleck
helps too).
Katherine Over
The one that comes to mind (probably because I just
saw it) is Gone Girl.
Heather Topham Wood
Catching Fire was very pleasing. So excited for
Mocking Jay.
Kai Strand
THE PRINCESS BRIDE! I love the book and the movie so
much--they're very different, and both versions are wonderful!
Anna Carolyn McCormally
Forgive me Gods of Good Taste, but I love Bram
Stoker's Dracula. The clothes, the melodrama, the Gary Oldman. It's fantastic
fun, even if it has nothing to do with the novel at all. It's also the first
time we got to see a softer, more human Dracula, so in a way it kind of
informed the whole 'sparkly vampire' craze. I also really love what they've
managed to do with the Hunger Games. I know the stories backwards and forwards
and yet I'm still first in line for the midnight show. Elizabeth Banks's Effie
Trinket is a goddess.
