Black Type to Silver Screen

I've often wondered about the process of making a book into a movie. Some definitely work out better than others, but that doesn't stop me from seeing as many as I can (reading the book first, of course). In honor of the much-anticipated late summer blockbuster, The Help (which was a fabulous adaptation), here are some other book-inspired films to catch for 2011:


Snow Flower & the Secret Fan

Sarah's Key


Breaking Dawn pt. 1 (had to include it!)

Things to Expect in 2012:

The Hobbit


Perks of Being a Wallflower

Anna Karenina (check out that cast)

And, I know my fellow book-clubbers will look forward to Leo's next great role: Devil in the White City (coming in 2013!!).

Remember to read the books first! ;)

*Both Sarah's Key & Snow Flower & the Secret Fan are currently playing at Tara Theater.
