Technically, this is Monday’s post, but as I write so late at night, no one else will recognize that my answer to The Broke and the Bookish‘s Top Ten Tuesday topic isn’t appearing exactly when it’s supposed to…
- J.K. Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: Did you see the photos that were released last week?
- Rainbow Rowell’s Eleanor and Park: She’s writing the first draft of the screenplay herself.
- Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith’s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Okay, so I didn’t read the book (although I was given a copy as a gift), but the previews really do look like a lot of kick-ass fun.
- Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus: I wonder if they’ll film it in black and white (and red).
- Ransom Riggs’ Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children: There are a lot of big names attached to this film, not the least of whom is Tim Burton as director. I liked the book right up until the end, when I discovered it wasn’t a stand-alone, and I’ve unreasonably held that against it since then, but if the previews look good, I might be willing to get over it.
- John Green, Lauren Myracle, and Maureen Johnson’s Let It Snow: IMDb informs me some filming has already taken place for this interconnected trio of YA romance stories.
- Roald Dahl’s The B.F.G.: This is my favorite Dahl title, and I hope Steven Spielberg won’t mess it up.
- G. Willow Wilson’s Ms. Marvel: They pushed the release date back on this earlier this fall, partly, I fear, because there remains some doubt about interest in a female-fronted superhero. God, I hope Supergirl is doing well enough to kill off this stupid industry belief once and for all.
- Beauty and the Beast: It’ll star Emma Watson and Ian McKellen.
- Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book: Apparently this got pushed back, but Ron Howard’s been attached to the project as director.
How about you? Any literary films you’re looking forward to?
