Voiceover X Proofread

Why do we feel betrayed when a movie changes the book we love? And can a new adaptation reveal something the original story could not? Heather talks with Kacy Faulconer and Tyler Gardner of BYUradio’s Proofread about book-to-screen adaptations, faithful film adaptations, fan expectations, and why Hollywood keeps returning to familiar literary IP. They discuss Cloud Atlas, A Wrinkle in Time, The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Project Hail Mary, Life of Pi, Anna Karenina, and Pride and Prejudice. The conversation also previews upcoming adaptations including the next Pride and Prejudice adaptation. Hear why some books need a limited series, how adaptations can add meaning, and whether a movie should work independently or as a companion to the novel.
