Talking Pictures: Book to Screen

In the beginning was the Word. From the earliest days of silent cinema, filmmakers recognized the importance of a script outline as a guiding road map. As feature films grew longer and more ambitious, the industry increasingly turned to literature for inspiration – a trend that remains robust today, evidenced by the continued popularity of book adaptations into films.
