I liked the movie even though I heard it didn't follow the books. I will be reading the books soon. Do you think it could ever be made into a TV series? What station do you think it should be on? Who would you cast to play the characters? Also, how different is the movie from the books? How about the mythology? I actually liked the mythology in the movie and I'm hoping for more awesome mythologies when I get my books. :)

shareThe movie contrary to popular belief is fairly faithful. The tone is slightly off from the book but many of the scenws are copy and pasted from the book. Also a lot of the Ms. carr revelations came later in the book series and werent in the first book, such as all of the strigoi in the cave.
shareWith the exception of a couple of plot changes towards the end (which I didn't like), the movie stayed pretty close to the books. I think the problem was the whipped by them so fast, I didn't have as much time to appreciate them before they moved on to another scene. Another problem I had is the way they decided to promote this as "mean girls with vampires" which, I think immediately turned a lot of the potential viewers away from the movie. They also downplay some of the darker elements of these books, and I don't know why. And casting was a big issue to me. I didn't like that they decided to change Rose's look in the movie, but I give Zoey credit for bringing the spirit of Rose alive for the most part. Same goes for who they chose to play Christian, but other than that I couldn't get into any of the acting choices they made (don't even get me started on Dimitri! Lol).
I think this series would do better as a television series, but I'd be nervous if they did decide to do it. A lot of my favorite books have been ruined with movie/television adaptations, so I have doubts that it could be done right. But I hope you're enjoying the books. :)
