J.K. Rowling‘s newest work, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, is in cinemas now. This marks the first time that the famed author has written a screenplay and… it kinda shows.
Curious Adaptations and Where to Find Them
Adaptation done Right: Jaws
For many people, the 1975 film Jaws from Steven Spielberg stands as one of the best “blockbusters” ever made. With such a large cultural influence, it is sometimes easy to forget that, one year before the shark took to the screen, Jaws was published as a novel from then struggling author, Peter Benchley. While the success of the novel came as a complete surprise, the success of film should not. Through a mix of fate and decision, Jaws is one of the smartest adaptations of book-to-film.
