This week Karen from The Many Faces of Romance took some time to answer some questions I put to her. She was good sport about it- take a look:
ME: What is your feeling about turning books into movies or TV
series/mini-series , whether big screen or made for TV? (not just romance
either for this question and the below ones).
KAREN: Hollywood, etc has always and will always go to books for a story
which has its pluses and minuses. There are so many good books out there, but
when Directors and actors get involved, they add their own interpretations
which may stray heavily from the author's (the creator!)original voice.
ME: Have you ever watched any when you haven't read the
book?
KAREN: I'm sure I have because I didn't know there was a book.
ME: Any hits or misses for you? That is any in particular with
mentioning?
KAREN: I loved JAWS by Peter Benchley. I actually loved the movie more
because they cut out an unnecessary subplot with the wife and her affair,IMO.
ME: If you've watched a movie ETC but never read the book did you
want to seek out the book/ or did you read the book (titles/authors please)
KAREN: I have many times in the past, not so much now. I think I read
books that I wish could be turned into movies more often.(provided a good cast
and budget). But nine times out of ten, the book and my interpretation of the
authors voice is better than a movie.
