Armchair BEA 2014 | Upcoming Book to Movie Adaptations

5/30/2014

10 Comments

 
Hey blogger and reader friends,

Happy Friday everyone. I decided to do the topic of choice today. It's a freebie for us to discuss whatever we like! Since I love going to the movies and comparing books to their movies, I thought this would be a great time to mention movies that I'm looking forward to for the remainder of this year. First up are the movies that I have already read and reviewed the books.  They are in order by release date.

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.  The movie is in theaters on June 6th.  While I thought the book was good, I'm not rushing to see this in the theater for the plain fact that I don't want to be sad watching a movie that I'm paying to see. But I will indeed catch it when it's available for streaming.

Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn. The movie is in theaters on October 3rd.  I just loved this thriller and the movie trailer actually looks promising! While I'm not sure about that weird song playing through the entire trailer, I won't let it put me off. Let's see if the movie can do justice to this crazy couple!

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins.  The movie is in theaters on November 21st.  While the Mockingjay book was my least favorite in the trilogy, I still think that I will enjoy the movie adaptation.  The Hunger Games movies have been really good so far, so I expect nothing less from the Mockingjay Part 1.

The following are movies that I haven't read the books yet, but I will before the movie is out. The trailers look really good!  They are in order by release date.
  • Dark Places by Gillian Flynn. The movie will be out on September 1st.
  • The Maze Runner by James Dashner. The movie will be in theaters on September 19th.

What new book to movie adaptations are you excited to see before the year is over?

Happy Reading, 
~Tamara

Great post, Tamara! I actually haven't watched the Gone Girl trailer until now, and it looks great. I didn't love the book, but I think this would translate really well to film.

I think the Hunger Games movies are quite good adaptations as well. And I definitely recommend The Maze Runner book.

I just finally watched the first Hunger Game movie last night. Haven't read the other two books in the series, but I'll probably watch the movies, and I have to get cracking on reading The Fault in Our Stars. The movie that I'm most excited about isn't out until next March--Ron Howard's movie based on Nathaniel Philbrick's In the Heart of the Sea.

I haven't read TFIOS but that's because I'm not sure how I feel about the hype surrounding it. I feel like I'm bound to be disappointed by it and when I tried it I just didn't like the first few pages so I'm going to give myself and it some more time! I did really like Catching Fire and felt that, as a movie, it was an improvement of The Hunger Games, so Mockingjay should be good! Thanks for your post :)

I enjoyed The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I am a little leery about going to movies to see adaptation because of all the hype.

I haven't read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn yet. I am one movie behind in The Hunger Games franchise.

Thanks for sharing the trailers for Dark Places and Maze Runner. I didn't realize that they were being adapted.
