Books made into Movies 2013-2015
short reading: Upcoming Movies Based onBooks
On average,
Hollywood releases more than three dozen movies based on books each year. With creative plots and characters, novels, short
stories and poems give filmmakers fresh
ideas.
Futuristic
dystopias, tragic love stories and
non-fiction dominate the 2014 list of film adaptations, which includes Veronica
Roth's Divergent, John Green's The Fault in Our Stars and
Robert M. Edsel's The Monuments Men. Sequels based on books -- like
the final installment of director Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy
– will probably break box office records
this year.
