When I was growing up in the 1990s, the news that some book or story was being made into a movie or a miniseries was always greeted with a chorus of groans among my family and friends. “I hope they do it right,” was the most common response. Invariably, something about those stories always ended up being incorrect. The film or television studio and production team would always leave out some detail that was important or vital to the story, and in most cases, the film versions would always resemble something out of a badly written fanfiction. In the last decade (and a little extra), however, adaptations have been increasingly well done, and have improved a thousandfold over things like the Gor movies made in the late 80s. From Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movie adaptations, to the wildly successful comic book movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, to the Harry Potter movies (and yes, even Twilight), the adaptation of traditional media to be suited for screen has become an extraordinarily popular, skilled, and lucrative practice.
