You know that classics like LittleWomen and ToKillaMockingbird started as novels.But you probably didn’t know that these other famous movies also came from books.
HiddenFigures
This film told the story of real-life Katherine Johnson and other female African-American mathematicians who helped drive the United States into space in the 1960s.It was actually based on a 2016 nonfiction book and the movie did boost sales of the book.
ForrestGump
The 1994 movie which was based on the book by Winston Groom won six Academy Awards,including Best Picture and Best Actor for the star Tom Hanks.Although the movie’s box-office success gave the book a huge boost,it’s the film that made its mark on pop culture history.
TheGirlontheTrain
Paula Hawkin’s psychological thriller,about a woman on a train who thinks she sees something strange out of the window,was a huge success.But unlike the fast-paced,can’t-be-put-down quality of the novel,the movie was boring.
FieldofDreams
It’s hard to describe the plot of this movie:Ray Kinsella hears a voice telling him to build a baseball field in his Iowa cornfield,and what happens next explores the themes of lost dreams,childhood heroes,and healing the pain of the past.The 1989 movie is adapted from W.P.Kinsella’s 1982 original,ShoelessJoe,but cuts out some extra characters.
