I recently found the book at a used book store and I’ve heard good things. Of course they said it will have a “modern twist” and I hate to make assumptions but seeing the showrunner I have no doubt it will be like every other modern adaptation.
Also heard a rumor that an Elric adaptation is in the works, and I’d be shocked if Netflix respects the Narnia source material.
On the bright side, whenever I see that a book or comic is being adapted and the story sounds interesting I just get the source material because an actual adaptation is low on the list of Hollywood priorities
Now I’m going to move the book to my stack to read immediately! Can’t wait. Yea they used the term “modern twist” and the showrunner is a black woman which technically doesn’t mean she is going to do the usual but based on what we have seen expect all the current year changes you mentioned
It's an amazing book. I'm sorry if I spoiled a bunch of it for you.
If you have Audible (or haven't done a trial yet, they give you one free credit), I am really fond of the reading they have on there.
It’s funny that 15 to 20 years ago I wanted to see everything adapted. Now I hate hearing news that something is being adapted
I hear you. I'd be lying if I said I felt any different.
It's such a shame how we live in the era where we finally have the tech to adapt virtually anything any author could ever have imagined, and it's totally pointless, as the left has infested everything with endless leftist politicking.
In any event, I envy you right now. I'd love to be able to wipe the book from my memory, and experience it again for the first time.
I do think in the future with AI you’ll have indie creators making adaptations. I’d love to see how AI would adapt a Phillip K Dick story like Ubik or some of the Star Wars EU stuff
