Where can I get a few more hours a day to have time to read everything I want? There is not enough time to get acquainted with all potentially interesting works. That's why, when I find out that any book worthy of my attention will soon be screened, I try to include it in the priority reading list. In this case, the impression will be received from a literary source, and not from the talent of cinematographers.
I have compiled a list of 8 books for you, the film adaptation of which is expected in the near future so that you too can make the necessary adjustments to your reading plans in time.
"There's Someone Inside Your House" Stephanie Perkins
High school student Makani Young thinks that moving will help to forget about the secrets of the past and move on. The girl meets her classmates, but shortly before graduation, someone opens a hunt for her new acquaintances. There are more and more victims. Tension builds up, and Makani decides to deal with what is happening, and not reveal a terrible secret at the same time.
Netflix took over the adaptation of the youth bestseller- 2017. The premiere will take place on October 6. The main female role went to Sydney Park, which previously could be seen in "The Walking Dead".
"The Sympathizer" Viet Thanh Nguyen
The Vietnam War is nearing its end. A secret agent of French-Vietnamese origin is playing a dangerous double game, working for both Americans and Communists. However, soon the spy is exposed, and he becomes a political prisoner.
Viet Thanh Nguyen's debut novel, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 2016, is being adapted for the HBO series. The director's chair went to Park Chang-Wook. The writer admitted that this is the best candidate for the film adaptation of his novel. Robert Downey Jr. stands out among the cast.
"A Head Full of Ghosts" Paul G. Tremblay
Parents are trying to cure their daughter Marjorie of schizophrenia. Traditional medicine does not help, and then they resort to an alternative option. The invited priest offers to perform an exorcism on the air. However, 15 years after the terrible events, Marjorie's younger sister talks about what was not shown in the reality show.
The novel that scared Stephen King, and won the 2015 Bram Stoker Award, is being adapted by director Scott Cooper. Margaret Qually was invited to the main role.
"Malorie" Josh Malerman
The second book of the series "Bird Box" continues the story of the fate of Malorie and her children, fleeing in a world filled with ruthless creatures. 12 years have passed since the dangerous journey, the finale of which was the settlement in a school for the blind together with a group of other survivors, but one can only dream of peace.
Netflix has taken over the film adaptation, and it is already known that the same team that created the horror "Bird Box" (2018) based on the first book of the cycle will work on the film. I highly recommend it for viewing.
"City of Ghosts" Victoria Schwab
After the accident, Cassidy Blake discovered a paranormal talent. The girl not only sees ghosts, but also communicates with them, and one of the disembodied spirits becomes her best friend. Cassidy's parents "work" as ghostbusters. They take their daughter with them to mystical Edinburgh, which leads to unexpected consequences.
The film adaptation was directed by David Lowry, and Gerard Butler, known as a "law-abiding citizen", acted as an executive producer of the multi-part project.
"Priest of Bones" Peter McLean
Thomas Piety returns from the war and realizes that during his absence, his former gang "The Pious Men" has lost influence. The ruined city is ruled by outsiders, but they do not know that the bone chaplain is ready to regain power with a sword in his hands.
NBC Universal and the Heyday Television studio took over the adaptation of the dark fantasy in the medieval entourage. The author of the literary source does not deny that his books may resemble "Sharp visors" and "The Godfather", however, details about the director of the project and the actors have not yet been reported.
Which books from this post would you like to read before the film adaptation?
Wow -- super interesting list of titles and it's exciting that they are all made into films! I think the one I'd most like to read is "City of Ghosts." And the one I'm certain I will never want to read/watch -- because it sounds absolutely terrifying and nightmare-inducing -- is "A Head Full of Ghosts" !
