Welcome to my new feature, where I will be coming books and movies! I bet you can guess how I came up in the name, but in case you aren’t; Alice in Wonderland. You can find my inspirations in this post Fairytale news: other content.
I know that I'm a day too late, but I had a Sinterklaas celebration yesterday (that is a holiday here in The Netherlands :)) But I still want to share this with you. I have found quite some books which are rumored to be filmed. Here is the list with some possible books-to-movies: (click on the titles and you are taken to IMDb)
-This dark endeavour: The apprenticeship of Victor Frankenstein.
-Darkfever.
-This dark endeavour: The apprenticeship of Victor Frankenstein.
-Darkfever.
-The luxe.
-Unwind.
-The Passage. I'm reading this book at the moment and while I think that the concept is great for a book, I'm not sure how this is going to work out on the screen.
-And this one scares me so much: The book thief. You know that this is one of my favorite books if you've read my review and you also can see that it makes me nervous by reading my Feature and Follow from a while ago.
What do you think about this list? There are some more titles, but I will be using them next week if you find this interesting enough :)
And I've saved the best. There is going to be a television show about Dracula and Jonathan Rhys Meyers is casted as Dracula! *swoon* The date is set on 2013 - ..., I can't wait.

Oh my days, before I go to sleep and Unwind would be unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read those books yet, but they sound great :) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI actually hope My Name is Memory doesn't get made into a movie. I really did not like that book. The Night Circus would be great though... And the Book Thief?! Oh god. I love that one. I don't want people to ruin it!
ReplyDeleteI also wasn't a fan of My name is Memory. I hated the ending. And that is exactly why I am so afraid. They must not ruin The book thief, because that book is wonderful.
DeleteOh, Dracula! <3 I seriously can't wait. What is it with those gloomy depressing creature and their super long cloak? Something strangely addictive, I must say! ;) And OMG, The Night Circus!! x) I love that book like crazy and I hope that the movie will do the book justice. Although most of the time, I got my hopes up and got it crushed after seeing the movie. *sad face*
ReplyDeleteLet's cross our fingers for the movies to come! <3 Thank you for sharing the news, Mel! <3
I'm not sure why, but vampires stay fascinating for me. Especially when they are so pretty, haha.
Deleteoh my God! The Giver? wow.. that would be such an awesome movie! and Blood Red Road? thats one movie id want to watch! Thanks for the awesome news!

So, The giver is a good book? I haven't read it :)
DeleteWOW. I never knew all these were rumoured to be made into films! I can't wait to watch The Night Circus and The Book Thief if they are made into films!!!<3 Thanks for sharing the awesome news Mel!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! :D
DeleteI am actually kind of surprised by how many of these are optioned to become movies but with the popularity of the titles, I guess it's not surprising.
ReplyDeleteYes, it also seems to be a trend. I keep seeing titles popping up.
DeleteI can't imagine how The Passage would work as a movie either - they would have to make some serious adaptations!
ReplyDeleteOh, and Happy Sinterklaas for Wednesday :-D
Haha, thank you! :D
DeleteIs it really sad that the first thing I think of when I hear I book I loved will be a movie is: "Oh gosh, I hope they don't mess it up." And secretly I think that they probably will. :\ Having said that, I am REALLY excited to see The Giver on this list! Also, that Dracula show sounds SO good! I like TV more than I like movies nowadays, so excited it's going to be a television show. :) Thanks for this list, Mel! That's a lot of books potentially being made into movies.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sinterklaas!! Admittedly, I'm not entirely sure what the celebration is, but I hope you had a wonderful holiday :)
ReplyDeleteI AM SO EFFING EXCITED FOR THE POTENTIAL OF A DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE MOVIE!! Provided the right people make it, because it's such a beautiful novel and I will be furious if they ruin it or the rich world Laini crafted looks cheap on film haha.
Unwind would be great as a movie, I'd be eager to see some of the more disturbing scenes played out on screen.
Ooh yes, The Night Circus too! If the right director nabs it, it could be a magical experience.
Sooooo excited for so many potential YA films!
Omg right? I saw a list like this on IMDB and I was like EEEK! Blood Red Road could be cool! And Uglies!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is one awesome list - thanks for sharing it! I would be most excited about Night Circus & Daughter of Smoke & Bone! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Carly! I'm really excited for The Night Circus and Daughter of Smoke and Bone! They both would make very awesome movies! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this awesome fairytale news with us, Mel! ♥
Yeah! So many young adult books that can become movies, that's exciting! I'm reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone next :)
ReplyDeleteI love book-to-movie adaptations - when they are done WELL. I hate when they screw it up. I have to wonder how some of these books will fare as movies if they do end up making them because some are less suited than others. I think Daughter of Smoke and Bone would be a very difficult movie to make, for example. But I would LOVE to see it on the big screen if they could do right by it, of course!
ReplyDeleteYour website is in ability arresting and complete able written. I like the way it is organized and presented. Complete abridged and articulate.
ReplyDeleteYüz Germe
Jonathan Rhys Meyers!! I will definitely be watching Dracula.
ReplyDeleteOther than that I've only read The Giver from this list, and I'm not sure how I feel about seeing it on the big screen... Well, we shall see :)
OMG OMG OMG.
ReplyDeleteDarkfever and Daughter of Smoke and Bone as movies?
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
I. Can't. EVEN.
That would be... just... EEEEEEE! WOW! ♥
Thank you for sharing this amazing maybe-to-be-movies list :D Really hoping there will be a movie of Blood Red Road. <3 Sigh. It would be amazing :D
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my Top Ten. <3
Love, Carina @ Carina's Books
Wow...I wasn't aware of half of these! I'm not sure how I feel...I don't want my favorite books to be ruined for me. I guess I could just not see the movies, but dang my curiosity...I know I will. :) Thanks for sharing...I'm going to have to stalk the IMdB pages now. =)
