Is it going to be a trilogy?
Too much to fit into one film.
share2 films
shareI haven't been following what's up with this film, but I remember reading long time ago (few years maybe) that the first part will be the main characters as kids and the second part as adults. Is that the case still?
shareguess they're going to milk this in any way they can
shareI mean, breaking it into two parts makes sense, as the original novel was over 1000 pages. I don't think making two movies out of the book is really milking anything - it's just being fair to the source material.
shareNothing will top the miniseries.
sharePerhaps in your opinion, sure. But the mini-series was a watered-down version of the novel, and while I enjoy it overall, it leaves so much to be desired. I've long been waiting for a film more reliable to the book, and perhaps with these movies, that's what we'll get.
I just don't see it as "milking" anything when anyone can reasonably say they'll need more than a single movie to fit even half of the events from the book into it. That's not "milking" something, that's being reasonable.
Sure the novel was 1000+ pages but 500 of those pages were overly detailed backgrounds on the characters, their pointless past and what flavored candies they liked.
If you take the main parts that are actually relevant to the story, then you can easily present that into both 2 hour films.
No you can't really. You have the kids part and the adults part both have a lot of plot points and relevance in both. There was an an early draft before Fukunaga that crammed both stories together and it didn't work, not to mention they changed stuff from the book
shareYeah, it's going to be 2 films. This one is coming out Sept 8 and if this goes well (like Box office-wise and stuff) then there will be another film where the kids will all be adults.
I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. https://youtu.be/tc_ZTFO-R3w
