does anybody reads the filmbooks? Right now i read Mr. and Mrs. Smith and i haven't watched the movie yet... i think it gives you a pretty good insight into the characters before you see them on screen and maybe it makes the movie itself even better...
what are your opinions about film books? do you like them, do they suck or do you just don't care?
 
I often like to read the book before watching a movie and sometimes I will read a book after watching a movie if I liked the movie or just want more info.

I'm reading the Club Dumas right now and I've seen the movie the Ninth Gate, both are good and the book definitely gives more info than the movie. There actually seems to be quite a lot of info that was cut out of the movie and while I see why they did it, I'm liking the book much better than the movie.
 
johnny depp goes to hell. his guardian demon gives him the missing page of that book, and then they screw each other.
 
That explains it quite nicely.

I'm wondering since the book is quite different from the movie how much the ending will vary.
 
Well so far he has changed a lot of other key parts in the book, so who knows.

I've not read Rosemary's Baby, so I'm not sure how different his film was from the book.
 
he fought with the screenwriter and paramount studios over chinatown's ending. they wanted a happier ending and he didn't. ultimately, he won.

you really think he would change the whole outcome of the movie? I don't really believe that...

I can see why he made the changes to the story line, there is no way he could have put in all the info without bogging the whole film down.
 
rosemary's baby is still considered one of the most faithful adaptations of a book made into a movie.
