16 Movie Adaptation From Books That Changed For Better
Here are 16 movie adaptations that changed from the book but still made the movie better.
The Godfather
In the movie Godfather the penis talk was excluded from the movie which audiences preferred. Angels4d4906ef4 says, “It left out a lot of the big penis bragging stuff from the book, and it’s a good thing. It would have cheapened the movie had they left it in.”
Harry Potter And the Deathly Hallows Part 2
In the final movie of the Harry Potter series the movies hinted at the Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood relationship arc at the end of the movie which the book did not. Mapleavalanche31 says, “I love that they made Neville and Luna happen. The two of them were so good together and it felt like such a missed opportunity in the books.”
Ready Player One
In the Ready Player One movie the Halliday Archives was added. Jbmasta says, “It made the hunt seem more like a collaborative effort than the loner geek vibe the book had. Seeing all the users milling around added to that social vibe and was a better way to show Wade getting the extra life quarter by him identifying something no one else had.”
The Da Vinci Code
In the Da Vinci Code movie Sohie finds out she is a descendant of Jesus. A43920c533 says, “I liked the ending of the movie better than the book. it just seemed to flow better in the movie. In the book, it was kind of drawn out and weird.”
Gone Girl
In the movie adaptation of Gone Girl, Amy announces her pregnancy alongside Nick at the end of the movie that was different from the book’s ending.
Micahdr says, “I loved that Gillian Flynn had a hand in re-writing the end. She wanted to give the readers of the original story something surprising and I think she (and the screenwriters) did a great job. It kept us guessing without wrecking the integrity and intent of the original ending.”
Stuart Little
In the movie adaptation Stuart was adopted instead of being born like in the book. Sarahkoda says, “I’m so glad that in the film he’s not their biological son because it would have been so weird 🥶”
A Simple Favor
In the movie adaptation of A Simple Favor Emily ends up in jail while in the book she sends both Sean and Stephanie to jail.
Breaking Dawn
The battle revealed as a vision at the ending of the movie Breaking Dawn was an unexpected twist that we didn’t foresee making the movie better than the book.
Cyawill02 shares, “I remember waiting for the book to be released only to be super disappointed in it. It felt anti-climactic. When the film came out, they actually filmed the battle and then revealed it was a vision. In my opinion, it made it a better story than starting with the vision first. The reaction in the theater says everything.”
Jaws
In Jaws movie adaptation, the affair between the chief’s wife and Hooper was removed.
Jurassic Park
The kids’ ages were changed in the first Jurassic Park movie. As khandcock says, “They reversed the ages because they cast the actor to play Timmy first, and they didn’t want to have Lex be too young. I think the dynamic was great! They also made John Hammond a much more sympathetic character, someone who really believed in the wonder of the park.”
P.S. I Love you
The setting of P.S. I Love You changed in the movie adaptation from Ireland and Spain to US and Ireland. Tklou says, “In the book they live in Ireland and he sends her to Spain on a trip with her friends after he dies. In the film, they live in the US, and he sends her back to Ireland where he’s from and they meet. It makes so much more sense!”
The Princess Diaries
In the movie adaptation Mia’s Grandma is kind instead of being mean. Becky07990 says, “I just can’t imagine Julie Andrew’s as Grandmère from the books!”
The Lord of The Rings
The Lord of the Rings movie adaptation added more urgency to get the ring out of Shire. As Savana221 says, “The Lord of the Rings trilogy was brilliantly done, and I liked in the first film how there was an urgency to get the ring out of the Shire rather than Frodo puttering around for a long time before he actually gets a move on.”
About a Boy
At the end of the movie Marcus does not run away unlike in the books. As annak4f45e0f65 says, “The film ending was much better than the book, where Marcus and Ellie run away. The film ending is simpler (the book gets very convoluted) but more realistic, and Nicholas Hoult and Hugh Grant act it brilliantly.”
The Hunger Games
The movie series kept Effie in all the movies instead of introducing the new character like in the books.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
In the movie adaptation of Willy Wonka, Carlie earns his inheritance after being tested by Willy Wonka makes it more understandable. Amaneaux says, “I like that Wonka actually tested Charlie. In the book, Charlie won by virtue of being the last kid standing. But for all anyone knew, he could have been the first one eliminated if they had taken a different route through the factory. I think it was a good idea to have proof that he really was an honest child.”
