Authors who hated the cine adaptation of their book

“The cinema killed me”.
The transition from paper to the big screen is necessarily a complex exercise that leads to mixed reactions among readers, but also among authors. For an esteemed saga like Harry Potter, whose cast has almost been different , a bunch of other films, often adored by critics, have been massacred by the brains behind the original work. Do not touch my book!
Stephen King – “Shining”
The master of the horror novel sees red as soon as he is told about Stanley Kubrick’s film, which would have totally distorted his work as he told Rolling Stone magazine: “The book is hot, the film is cold; Book ends in flame, the film ends in the ice ” . Among the main grievances is the lack of nuance in the character of Jack Torrance : “In my book, there is a narrative sequence where Jack Torrance tries to be good, and it is gradually that he arrives at a Stage of madness (…) When I saw the film, Jack appeared to me insane from the first scene ” . But the worst character remains according to him, that of Wendy, who would only shout from beginning to end (“a screaming mop”
Bret Easton Ellis – “American Psycho”
The author has always maintained that his novel was impossible to transpose on screen because he is interested in consciousness and “we can not really show the complexity of this sensitivity . ” The film would make the character of Patrick Bateman for a monster, when the novel “is much more ambiguous” . It was not more tender with the adaptation of “The Informers” in 2008, film on which he nevertheless worked the script but which made a real oven to the cinema. “This film does not work for a lot of reason, but I do not think any of these reasons come from me . ” The art of questioning …
Uderzo – “Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra”
Co-author of the comic strip with Goscinny (died in 1977), Uderzo is the one who still preserves the Gallic spirit of Asterix and Obelix. And it has long been said that the draftsman / scriptwriter had little taste of the 2nd opus released in the cinema, “Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra” . He reproached Alain Chabat for having distanced himself from the original work, with a much too much Canal humor, and secondary characters that erased Asterix and Obelix. Albert Uderzo, who was certainly cornered by the 15 million spectators who went to theaters, and the cult status of the film, now prefers to temper, assuring him that he is not angry with Alain Chabat: “I was just A bit annoyed because it is not what I ‘
Roald Dahl – “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”
It’s a constant: Roald Dahl hates all the adaptations of his books. With a fierce hatred for the most famous of them, the “Charlie and the Chocolaterie” of 1971 . Pell-mell, he said the film is “lame” , director Mel Stuart “has no talent” , and as for Gene Wilder – the actor who plays Willy Wonka – “it was pretentious and not dynamic enough for the role ” .
Ken Kesey – “Flying over a Cuckoo’s Nest”
Despite the 1976 Oscars (Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Script), Ken Kesey never wore the adaptation of Milos Forman in his heart. While basically, he was motivated by the project and had joined the trick, before slamming the door … two weeks later. He has long recounted that he had never seen the film, although his wife confessed after his death, that he was pleased that the feature was born.
Richard Matheson – “I’m a Legend”
For Richard Matheson, the cinema has lacked respect twice to his work. In 1964 first, where “The Last Man on Earth” did not really pack it: “I am disappointed by this film even if they have more or less followed my story . ” Although he appreciated it a lot, the main actor Vincent Price was “a casting error” . Same in 2007 with the Will Smith version which will make him say: “I do not understand why Hollywood is so fascinated by my book while nobody there ever takes the trouble to film it as I wrote . ”
Winstom Groom – “Forrest Gump”
Winstom Groom was downright bad. He is one of the few to spit on Robert Zemeckis’ film, which would have distorted his work, obscuring important moments of the book, as well as raw language and sex scenes. The choice of Tom Hanks appeared to him as fanciful since in his book, Forrest Gump measures 2m and weighs 110 kgs (he wanted the actor John Goodman instead). Although Winston Groom has not been revered for financial reasons, despite having negotiated a 3% profit on the Paramount, the studio did not spin it, as the film would have Lost money. He will sue them and win. Very well, he wrote in 1995, in the following of his novel: “Never leave someone”

Brad Pitt divorced by Angelina Jolie and still as skinny, new photos unveiled!

sivertime — Tue, 18 Apr 2017 17:34:46 +0000

In the process of divorce with Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt continues to appear leaner than ever. A worrying state of health?

Between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the war is declared again . While the ex- Brangelina had found a solution to avoid tensions, nothing is going on lately. The actor is furious against his ex-wife and intends to let him know. As a reminder and if we believe the revelations of Radar Online , Brad Pitt would accuse Angelina Jolie of being negligent with their progeny. According to the comedian, the heroine of Malefic would have left her six children in the company of an incompetent nurse. Under the supervision of the latter, The little Vivienne would have hurt her head after a fall in a park in London while her twin brother Knox would have been seen on the handlebars of the bicycle that the nanny was rolling. One more scandal for the ex-couple! But while the court battle rages between the two movie stars, Brad Pitt who could then get full custody of his children , continues to show more emaciated than ever …
Is Brad Pitt ‘s condition worrisome? This is probably the question that many internet users ask themselves. For cause, new photos – to see HERE and HERE – of the very thin actor have just made their appearance on the Web. Concentrated on his sculpture project, the 53-year-old actor never stops spending his time in his Los Angeles art studio . And while he was coming back, some paparazzi photographed him. Internet users quickly became concerned that the interpreter of Benjamin Button was unrecognizable. Some British media such as the Sun even went so far as to write that Brad Pitt, A shirt and jeans, was unkempt . You are left to make your own opinion. However, while it is true that his recent weight loss may be of concern, Maddox ‘s dad rather looks fit on these shots. Hopefully this is the case! Do you think we should be worried about Brad Pitt?

Turning a film is not always a sinecure

sivertime — Tue, 28 Mar 2017 18:33:05 +0000

You have to be honest and recognize that it sometimes takes catastrophic turns, that it is painful for everyone. A galley, what.
At the time, some of my comrades would have shouted: “PLE, PLE”. A simple acronym meaning: dodge plan. That is to say, it was better not to participate in the sombre project that presented itself. At random, a mathematics course. Or an evening can be.
Troy
To see for those who want to appreciate the beautiful Brad Pitt in skirt and yelling “Yeah, there is immortality waiting for us” with much less charisma than Gerald Butler in “300”. Finally, I say that … In short, to come to the fact, just before they turn the scene before the fort, this one was blown by a bastard hurricane . Vener, they had to rebuild everything. Then, it was the security guards on the board who were stealing tricks to round off the end of the month. Letting it be understood that the salary was too low and that it was necessary to find combinations.
Blade Runner
Based on the book “Do androids dream electronic sheep” by Philip K. Dick, the film had to wait a long time before possessing a square and clear scenario. A pack of writers and directors tackled it and broke their teeth, before Ridley Scott began filming. End of the galleys? Nope! The English filmmaker was constantly hammering with Harrison Ford, as well as with the film crews in general . So much so that these had printed t-shirts with the inscription: “Yes Governor my ass …”
The Conqueror
Well then we put it because it sticks to the theme but it is much less fun. For the moment, a little restraint … Bringing the story of Genghis Khan to the screen, the film was filmed near a nuclear test site . Under the advice of the government, like “go there guys, you are told that there is no galley!” Noone, so much so that 91 members developed a cancer thereafter, including 46 deaths … In the first row of which the director, the main actress and John Wayne himself. And you are spared other bad things.
Fantastic Four
Crash in full flight for director Josh Trank. The guy proudly announced that he was going to kill the game with phrases like “My movie will be better than 99% of the superhero movies . ” Except that the 20th Century Fox did not validate all his delusions, that he had to change and do a lot of tricks. So he was venerated. And some actors were then a little busy to return scenes, a big galley. In the end, Josh complained, still on Twitter, that the film released was much worse than it should have been . So hop, Star Wars project that passes under his nose and killed career.
The Shining
It was notorious that turning with Stanley Kubrick proved to be painful. Finally, under his orders, rather. Obsessive, unlimited, he always asked his actors more. Finally, demanded. Thus, every day, he changed the scenes, modified them, adapted them. And above all, it multiplied the catch! The scene where Wendy retreats down the stairs of the hall, with baseball bat in hand, would have been shot after 127 takes . The two main actors (including Jack Nicholson, the drunken drunk husband) were certifying that this was their toughest part of their career. And Shelly Duvall / Wendy suffered hair loss on the plateau due to stress.
Abyss
Stevie had an idea and he did not let go. His intrigue was in the water. It took a lot. Yeah, a lot. Genus 10 million galleons, in all. And not to dip, to the cool. People worked more than 70h / week to shoot the film. Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio have also cracked nervously, tired . A nervous breakdown, as they say. Ed Harris was so marked that he refused years of talking about the film for years. In traumatized mode, bad memory. Frankly, sometimes there’s way to crack anyway?

Mine of nothing is taff to play Hulk. For Mark Ruffalo, the first part of the job is to move, talk, with a suit full of sensors recording his movements and facial expressions. The second asks him to play scenes with fake huge arms , when interacting with other characters. From high-tech to whatever.
Iron Man 3
In the film, it looks easy, the costume comes to automatically gather around him, magnetically. Obviously, this is not the reality. On the set, Robert Downey Jr needs several members of the team to dress him. Even if he wanted and took the time, it is impossible to do it alone.
Captain America: Civil War
Enemies in the film, Spiderman and the Black Panther know how to make the difference. During a break from shooting the scene where they fight, the airport , the actors Tom Holland and Chadwick Boseman arose tranquillou, side by side.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Towards the end of the film, there is a scene where Nick Fury is in his helicopter and fighting. No one, it is also accompanied by Scarlett Johansson, aka Black Widow . Helicopter, blower of wind to make move the beautiful hair of the miss, giant decoration in green behind … That’s the whole organization!
Iron Man
Remember when Tony Stark sees his second in his box turn against him? The famous Obadiah Stone, who wants to be even stronger than him and becomes Iron Monger. Well his suit weighed 360 kg and measured 3m high! And to move it during animatronic scenes, it took five people to move it! As for the aesthetics, pros were also there to put back shots of paint and guarantee a perfect shine. Who would like to go on a shoot?
