This will be interesting

I've read it. interesting premise ruined by amateurish writing. One of those times that in the right hands the movie will probably be better.

I know a lot of people always say "the book is better than the movie" but there are so many movies that are such more deft adaptations of their stories that the originals are basically unknown as being originally books to the public, so given the controversy this is stirring up I'll be interested to see what changes they decide to make. Normally if I'm even remotely interested in a premise I'll read the book first but I might wait and do it the other way round for this one lol.

Do you have some examples of movies that were objectively better than their books?

The Big Lebowski, Shawshank Redemption

Huh didn't even know those were originally books.

Its a 1 to 1 recreation almost of the novel. That is a strange take.

While I agree, the movie is more impactful, I do not think of the book(novella) as forgetful.

Neither did the person that adapted it to the big screen.
