Adaptation Aspirations
What book would you like to see adapted for another medium? What would be your preferred format? Movie? TV Show? Broadway musical? Something else? If you want to elaborate even further, who would you cast to play the characters? Who would you want to write the script/screenplay? Write the music? Direct? Are there adaptations that exist that you think could be better? Tell us all about your aspirations for the perfect adaptation!

Mine:
Hmmm...it seems that almost every book is being or already has been adapted to another format. Let's see...I would like to see Lincoln in the Bardo to be turned into a movie.
It was not an easy read for me. So many characters and so much jumping around but you know what...the story was haunting. I'm still thinking about it! And the idea of President Lincoln going to his son's grave and opening it was just heartbreaking. After watching the small 360 video on YouTube, I would like to see how a director would portray the ghosts into a movie.

PROGRESS SO FAR:
Monday
I read only 20 pages from the Kubrick's Game (my eyesight was terrible yesterday) so instead I listened to 4 hours of Ready Player One. I only have 2.5 hours left on the audiobook.
I also participated in Day 1's challenges, which you can see here, as well as the Twitter Chat.
I am proud of what I was able to accomplish the first day. I am looking forward to the second day. :)
I could not get into Lincoln in the Bardo. I tried the audiobook and I tried the e-book. Just not for me! Ready Player One on the other hand, I love it! I re-read it once a year! Or listen! I love the audiobook and Wil Wheaton is probably more than 50% of why I like the book so much. lol!
ReplyDeleteI hear yah. I was so close on giving up on Lincoln in the Bardo after 30 pages but I saw this 360 video on YouTube, which encouraged me to hang on to the finish line.
