Which version or is it both?

He made it clear on ASVS, both. I rather like th 1980 version, however. At least it had Picard Stewart

LOTR was a great adaptation, but so was The Eaters of the Dead.




The worst was Starship Trooper, I read the book years ago, and the movie had nothing to do with it but the name. I don't know about Sum of all Fears, but it's my favorite book of all time, and I know the movie is nothing like it so I will probably never watch it and save me from getting pissed. In fact the only Tom Clancy movies that did not suck was Red October. That was close enough even though the ending was compressed.

I thought Dune was cool...especially the music. heh

Bes: (New)Lord of the Rings

Worst: Dune. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. I nearly killed myself just watching that...THING 'fold space'. Uaaaagh!


BTW, Ender's Game is coming to the silver screen? Where can I find out more about this?

It's on OSC's site...

The Sentinel (short story) came first. The story idea from which 2001 evolved. Then it was turned into the movie script. And then the book.

Not quite adaption. But close enough. And 2010 definetly came before the movie.

That's far from being an adaption though. The entire basis of the story is different, and so are it's themes. Calling 2001 an adaption of "The Sentinal" is like calling Lord of the Rings and adaption of the Mists of Avalon.

Worst - Any Michael Crichton. Especially Congo and the Jurassic Park series. I pray that noone chooses to make a movie out of Timeline.

Hahahaha! They made something much much wose than a movie, a computer game! Hahahaha, ur weapon is a pole thingy, that looks like a stick! Beware of the Stick!
