Then again, I am extremely nervous about Mockingjay, and how they will bring District 13 and the Rebellion alive WHILE keeping it at a 12A rating.<br /><br />On the plus side, I am brimming with extreme excitement for the TFiOS movie, as I've got a feeling it will be perfection. I think that's one less thing we can be nervous about... *exhales*<br /><br />Great post, Sunny! <br /><br />-Sophie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13083834574407855479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128017656423733440.post-63998441063221519572014-01-17T11:19:06.854+11:002014-01-17T11:19:06.854+11:00I'm so excited for The Fault in Our Stars beca...I'm so excited for The Fault in Our Stars because of *sob* Augustus, and I'm really nervous to watch The Book Thief.

However, I've got my fingers crossed for The Fault In Out Stars - I'm hoping it will be pretty good!<br /><br />Latest blog post; http://awkwarddonkey.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/and-then-it-hit-me-winnie-pooh-mental.htmlAmy Aedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17112327200574984495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128017656423733440.post-10939012490965478662014-01-15T22:21:32.133+11:002014-01-15T22:21:32.133+11:00Lovely article Sunny, I think you are so right abo...Lovely article Sunny, I think you are so right about the way they are portraying VA. It couldn't be made more different from Twilight, and everything in its market to the trailer and movie itself shows that. I hope it will be successful because I can't wait to see it. <br /><br />Regarding books not being adapted to film, I can agree with you there. I was surprised to hear that The Book Thief was going to be made into a movie and after viewing the trailer, I'm still unconvinced. A big part of why I loved the book was the artistic nature of it, and how it was narrated by death, but it doesn't seem so in the movie. We'll see I guess!<br /><br />Jeann @ <a href="http://www.happyindulgencebooks.com" rel="nofollow">Happy Indulgence</a>Jeann @ Happy Indulgencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080126376029467613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128017656423733440.post-39430320390488172592014-01-15T13:40:15.051+11:002014-01-15T13:40:15.051+11:00It does seem like generally movies are not as good...It does seem like generally movies are not as good as books, but I'm okay with that. I think it's so difficult for a movie to adequately capture a book and there's usually so many things in books that don't translate that well to the big screen. But I still see every single one of them (and I'm entertained, even if I don't love the movie). I do hope VA turns out good. The books definitely have their humor and I read an interview with Richelle Mead and she discussed the marketing and how they're trying to pull in people who wouldn't necessarily want to see a "vampire" movie by highlighting the humorous parts. And yes, so excited about Divergent too. In this case, I actually hope, assuming all three are made into movies, that they change Allegiant! :) Great discussion! ~Pamyaescapefromrealityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200254719073248981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128017656423733440.post-81764497827928171642014-01-15T08:07:58.617+11:002014-01-15T08:07:58.617+11:00I'm totally on the same page! When I hear that...I'm totally on the same page! When I hear that a book is being made into a movie, I get both super excited and terrified at the same time. Catching Fire is AMAZING and, in my opinion, the movies are better than the books (I feel so much like a traitor when I say that!). But films like Beautiful Creatures (never seen it either but still), Percy Jackson and The Host were such terrible movies. If one of my books were going to be turned into a film, I'd be really scared. John Green said that the film is brilliant and he cried several times whilst the production was happening, so I'm not worried about that one, hehe.<br /><br />I'm planning to read The Book Thief soon in time for the movie. And I'm so excited about Divergent :D Great discussion, Sunny!Zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13145275568220973113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128017656423733440.post-83942734524427251212014-01-14T21:24:15.308+11:002014-01-14T21:24:15.308+11:00I'm just like you, I get really nervous about ...I'm just like you, I get really nervous about book adaptations. I actually refused to see The Hunger Games until it came out on DVD and then kicked myself at how awesome it is!!! The films can never quite match up to our expectations because we all have our own ideas of the characters and the connections but on the mostpart, it's exciting to see how they interpret the books :)<br />Great post, Sunny!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943851686264137671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128017656423733440.post-82652446868212777842014-01-14T21:14:26.203+11:002014-01-14T21:14:26.203+11:00Oh I totally agree!

Although Hunger Games and Harry Potter are probably the best examples of when it goes right. Francoise https://www.blogger.com/profile/12033355772776822109noreply@blogger.com
