I think mine’s Z for Zachariah. The book is insane. A psychological survivalist thriller between a 14 year old girl and a strange man with unknown intent. The movie is… not this. They changed everything meaningful about the characters and lost all the tension. Hope someone does it properly one day. What’s your adaptation peeve?
Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series was adapted into such a god awful movie a few years ago that most King fans pretend like it never happened.
We are all holding out hope that Mike Flanagan will save us.
In Flanagan We Trust
Only thing I’ve ever seen of his that didn’t pay off was Midnight Club, and that was Netflix’s fault. I’ve read his outline for where the story was supposed to go, and it would have been incredible.
The Dark Tower is my favorite book series. I’ve read it 7 times. I actually really like the movie.
