A celebrated motion picture can begin as a screenplay that is authored just to be a film, or sometimes a fantastic motion picture is an adaptation of an equally impressive book. Many famous movies begin in the thoughts of a famous writer. Here are a couple of film adaptations from books for the year 2009.
June 2009 brought us the tearjerker story of "My Sister's Keeper" from the novel of the same name by Jodi Picoult. The movie stars Cameron Diaz as the mother and Jason Patric as the father of two daughters, one of whom is very ill and the other of whom was essentially conceived to be a genetic match and keep her sister alive. The book and the movie will both bring you to tears at time, but the distorted ending on the movie will likely be disappointing to the readers of the book.
In theaters in August 2009, is "The Time Traveler's Wife" from the popular novel by Audrey Niffenegger. Starring Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams, it is a passionate chronicle that follows the life of a man who travels through time and his marriage to his soul mate.
The next motion picture was based upon 2 books, "My Life in France" by Julia Child and Alex Prud-homme and "Julie and Julia: 365 days, 524 recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen' by Julie Powell. In theaters now,"Julie and Julia" is an enjoyable comedy about the intertwining lives of these two women.
2009 marks the 40th anniversary of what has been billed as the greatest rock concert in history. "Taking Woodstock" is adapted from the memoir of Elliot Tibor, a young gay man who played a part in making the concert happen. The motion picture is directed by Ang Lee.
From one of the most pleasurable and funniest children's books to come out in years, "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" will hit theaters in September 2009. It will star Anna Faris, James Caan, and from Saturday Night Live, Bill Hader, Andy Samberg and Tracy Morgan and others. The book was side-splitting; lets hope the movie lives up to it.
October 2009 will bring us another classic kid's book. Like the book of the same name "Where the Wild Things Are" will follow the adventures of Max, who imagines that he sails away to the location where all of the wild things roam.
A couple of more serious movies will hit the theaters in 2009. "The Road" will come out in October 2009. It will star Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron. It is based upon the Pulitzer prize winning and famous story by Cormac McCarthy. The story follows a father and son and their journey in post apocalyptic times. In December 2009, "The Lovely Bones" from the tale of the same name by Alice Sebold arrives in theaters. This is a tear-jerker story about a young girl who was murdered and how she watches over her family from heaven.
Here were just a few of the motion pictures tailored from books for the year 2009. Now is the time to take advantage of your opportunity to read the book before you see the films if you wish.
