On TV, book properties from Game of Thrones and Outlander to Big Little Lies have all earned onscreen components.
We live during a time when a lot of book properties are being remade into movies and TV shows.
In films, we’ve seen remakes of Anna Karenina, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Fifty Shades Darker, Hidden Figures, The Zookeeper’s Wife, The Lost City of Z, Allegiant, In The Heart of The Sea and many many more.
There are usually differences between the visual mediums we see on the big and the small screen and the overall books, but the gist is often the same, which I suppose is what prompts people to feel comfortable with lying about what they’ve read versus what they’ve just actually seen.
