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”

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?

These actors were as passionate about the subject as you are about the rules of cricket

sivertime — Mon, 16 Jan 2017 18:02:54 +0000

They were content to do the taf and ensure their catch of the film, the rest, nothing to square. The intrigue, the subject treated, the classics of the genre: osef.
They can not be accused of zeal. And professional enough to have done the minimum union, we can not finally pin them to the pillory either. That is where they are strong! In addition, some have even assured and received positive criticism for their role. Maximize the result by minimizing the work you have done, which you have always done elsewhere.
Released recently, the film is not a frank success at the moment. Professionals as well as spectators were not excited by the adaptation of the video game, nor by the performance of the French actress in passing. Not close to Marion? Anyway, she confessed on the set of “Daily” that she had never played the game in question . Although it does not necessarily influence its performance, it fucks it badly and it is limited in terms of pro consciousness.
A real success of this end of year 2016, which will be discovered very soon in France, normally on January 25. Golden Globe nominations and a seemingly excellent Ryan Gosling. Singer and dancer in this musical comedy, the beautiful boy surprises and surprises. By cons, it has not impressed the reporter of the British station Magic FM when dried each question his knowledge quiz G on musicals . No good answer. Play, okay. Push the stuff, no thanks.
Interpreting Megatron, he quickly realized that it smelled the right plan to fuck as little as possible. But really the least. Obviously, he was not motivated to go see the other actors and the director on the set. Better, Hugo Weaving has never read the script nor actually met anybody in the film, talked quickly made with Michael Bay on Skype and … everything flared in two hours of studio. “I just told my text, I do not know what it means .” Bim bam boom, I balance my texts and I break. Besides, he does not hide: “It was an experience unimportant I did not care, I was not thinking..”
Convinced by Vin Diesel who dreamed of playing with her in her career, the actress actually did in the social. Attended by Vinny, she says yes but is not interested more than that in the trick. Worse, she was betting on even a failure . “I had absolutely no idea what was going on in the plot. I never watched the movie and I do not think many people have done so .” We do not know how much it touched to play Aereon, but thank you for this promotion of quality ..
Presented as a classic of the 7th art that must absolutely have seen, the film obviously did not please everyone. Already, some spectators blasé by the 3h58. Then to Leslie Howard, the English actor who played Ashley Wikes. The guy swung says he “hated the characters, costumes and had never seen the movie” . Well, that’s it. Last layer: “God help me if I ever read the book.” Thank you goodbye.
You remember Michel Muller on Canal + old-fashioned, “Would not invite him”? If he was still chronicling, he could have looked after Kanye West after his participation in Adam McKay’s film. In full preparation of an album, he took the opportunity to test their music and seek the views of people on the set . When officials cut the sound to shoot the scenes, he asked: “Hey, what’s up?” You feel the guy super invested. Ok, it was only a cameo in a scene but good, there is a minimum …
To believe that the films of superheroes already had important financial resources at the time, given the cast: Gene Hackman, Christopher Reeve, and so Marlon Brando. It was in 1978, long time ago. And despite the good little ticket touched, the American star tried to feint: he wanted Jor-El (his role, Superman’s father) to be a bagel, or a suitcase. In short, not a human what, he did not need to show up on the set . The director had to explain to him that it was necessary to respect the comic and the appearance of this personage, well and well human. Okay, ok, but no question of reading the script before. Marlon Brando read it during the scenes, taped on the body of his partner. We’re not far from the big wanker there. Other examples of actors who were not thoroughly in it?

Shameless US Season 7: Episode 8, she will lose custody of Debbie Franny? our criticism

sivertime — Mon, 21 Nov 2016 19:41:12 +0000

Last night, the US channel Showtime aired episode 8 of Season 7 Shameless US. Then discover our criticism of “You Sold Me the Laundromat, Remember?” And the promo video of the next.

This week, Season 7 Shameless US offered a particularly strong and upsetting episode, probably the best season yet. Let’s start this review by returning to the plot of Fiona. At the end of the last episode of Shameless US , Fiona finally decided to keep the laundromat and this comes with its share of work and problems. Besides having to monitor Etta, who embarked on a shopping spree, she has to take care of all problems in the area, starting with the tiles. Admittedly, our ultra Fiona is motivated, but the scenes that we preferred are those with Kev. It has doubts about his “trouple” , notably because it does not trust with Svetlana and he is turning to his lifelong friend, Fiona. It’s so good to see them meet, particularly because it has allowed the two characters to be brutally honest about their feelings . We discover that Veronica lack much to Fiona, but that it does not trust him too Svetlana reminds his father.
The episode ends quite well for Fiona anyway, especially as Kev promised the people of Alibi they could drink for free if they were to help laundromat. And the most surprising in all this? Frank came to help. Yes, Frank Gallagher! Meanwhile, Lip had to go to his hearing at the university and despite an honest discourse on his part and the support of Ian and Professor Youens, the university refuses to lift its return. As might be in undoubtedly, Lip badly the new cash and he will do what he does best: sabotage the couple’s relationship . It is clear now that Lip begins to develop real feelings for Sierra, and this seems mutual. However, it has a rather complicated life with the father of her son, Charlie, and Lip will not fix things. While Charlie comes to apologize for his behavior the last time he kept the small, Lip loses his cool and takes physical with him. Sierra, who’ve not another addict in his life, broke with Lip. How will he Lip recover from all the bad news? Will it stop a day of self-sabotage?
Finally, Debbie has certainly made the biggest mistake of these episodes by insisting that the family of Derek met Franny. She would like Tanya and her mother say to the social worker that she is a good mother and that she can care for her daughter, but it goes very wrong. The beginning that the two women when we feel are not very honest, especially when they are pictures of Debbie Franny by cutting the frame to send to Derek. In the end, they took the opportunity to return home when Debbie was Neil absent to take the baby. Debbie is she losing Debbie? In a battle for custody of the child, Debbie could she win? Anyway, it was hard not to feel bad for Debbie because it certainly happens the thing that every parent dreads: losing her child. How will the Gallagher clan react to this news? Well, know that a family member will do anything to help Debbie and this is Monica. Yes, you read right, Monica will be back in the next episode of Season 7 Shameless US , as you can see in the promo video above. Moreover, Kev, Veronica and Svetlana go to therapy. Does it suffice to solve their problems? What did you think of this episode?
