It (2017 film)
On July 12 , 2017 , Muschietti , in an interview with French magazine Mad Movies , spoke of the R rating allowing him to go into adult themes , which was championed from the people at New Line Cinema . He also stated that , `` ... if you aimed for a PG - 13 movie , you had nothing at the end . So we were very lucky that the producers did n't try to stop us . In fact it 's more our own moral compass that sometimes showed us that some things lead us in places where we did n't want to go . '' In the same interview , on July 12 , 2017 , producer Barbara Muschietti added that there was only one scene that was deemed to be too horrific to feature in the new adaptation , stating , `` ... you wo n't find the scene where a kid has his back broken and is thrown in the toilets . We thought that the visual translation of that scene had something that was really too much . '' Muschietti concluded by emphasizing that nothing was removed from the original vision , nor was the violence of any event watered down .
Aragorn
The Hobbit : The Battle of the Five Armies , the third and last part of Jackson 's film adaptation of The Hobbit , refers to Aragorn near the end of the film . The Elven - king Thranduil tells his son Legolas to seek a young Dúnedan Ranger called Strider . He goes on to say that he is the son of Arathorn and has greatness in him . This is a clear reference to Aragorn , though by the timeline in Appendix B of The Lord of the Rings , he would have been only 10 at the time . This may be explained by the fact that the filmmakers compressed the events of The Fellowship of the Ring , changing the timeline so that Frodo sets off on his journey almost immediately after receiving the One Ring , rather than seventeen years later , as in the novel . In the film version of The Two Towers , Aragorn describes himself to Éowyn as being eighty - seven years old , as he was at that point in the books . However , as the filmmakers cut seventeen years from the time period between the events of the Hobbit and the beginning of Frodo 's journey in The Fellowship of the Ring , Aragorn would have had to have been in his twenties , and an established Ranger , at the time the film The Battle of the Five Armies takes place .
Logan (film)
In February 2015 , Patrick Stewart spoke of discussions about the third Wolverine film , centering around a team - up between Jackman 's Wolverine and himself as Charles Xavier , with Stewart stating to Marc Mohan that `` ... we have been talking about a Wolverine movie , which would team Hugh Jackman and myself together ... That would be a very different sort of X-Men from the four movies that I 've already done . '' By April 2015 , Michael Green had taken over screenwriting duties , with Mangold still actively overseeing the script development process . In September 2015 , Jackman spoke of the writers being halfway through the script , and that the story would delve into the relationship between Wolverine and Professor X , to which he added , `` I think it 's a really important relationship but I want to see signs of that quasi-father / son sort of relationship that has not been seen before , and sides of particularly Professor X that have not been seen before . '' Jackman spoke of Mangold 's plan to start filming the next year , though he expressed uncertainty as to filming locations . Also in September , Mark Millar , creative consultant for Fox , confirmed that Mangold 's film would be a loose adaptation of the Old Man Logan story , something that was hinted at earlier by Jackman . In October 2016 , the title of the film was announced as Logan .
Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?
The story was loosely adapted into the 1985 film Smooth Talk , starring Laura Dern and Treat Williams . Oates has written an essay named `` Smooth Talk : Short Story into Film '' about the adaptation .
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House
A half - hour radio adaptation of the movie was broadcast on NBC 's Screen Directors Playhouse on July 1 , 1949 . Grant reprised his role as Jim Blandings , and Frances Robinson played his wife Muriel . On October 10 , 1949 CBS 's Lux Radio Theatre presented a one - hour adaptation of the film , with Irene Dunne taking on the role of Muriel . Screen Directors Playhouse gave a second performance of its half - hour version on June 9 , 1950 , this time with Grant 's wife Betsy Drake playing Muriel .
The Fault in Our Stars (film)
The Fault in Our Stars premiered to 300 guests at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City on June 2 , 2014 . At the premiere , Green said : `` I did n't want to sell it , because Hollywood sucks at making unsentimental movies about illness . '' The film was released on June 6 , 2014 . After the New York premiere , Evangeline Earl , a student , announced that Green 's book , from which the film was adapted , had been inspired by her sister Esther Earl , who had also been an author . Esther had thyroid cancer and died in 2010 . Evangeline said Esther had met Green at LeakyCon , a Harry Potter convention held in Boston in 2009 . Green said , `` I could never have written The Fault in Our Stars without knowing Esther . Every word on that book depends on her . '' Green said he used the word `` okay '' in the book and the film because Hazel and Augustus used it to express their love for each other ; it becomes a special word between them . The original novel was inspired by the late author Esther Earl , who used the word `` okay '' with her sister Abigail .
The Time Machine
The adaptation retained the nameless status of the Time Traveller and set it as a true story told to the young Wells by the time traveller , which Wells then re-tells as an older man to the American journalist , Martha , whilst firewatching on the roof of Broadcasting House during the Blitz . It also retained the deleted ending from the novella as a recorded message sent back to Wells from the future by the traveller using a prototype of his machine , with the traveller escaping the anthropoid creatures to 30 million AD at the end of the universe before disappearing or dying there . Big
Wicked Witch of the West
The story line of the stage adaptation `` goes far afield '' from the 1996 novel . As Winnie Holzman observed in an interview with Playbill , `` It was ( Maguire 's ) brilliant idea to take this hated figure and tell things from her point of view , and to have the two witches be roommates in college , but the way in which their friendship develops -- and really the whole plot -- is different onstage . '' Schwartz justified the deviation , saying `` Primarily we were interested in the relationship between Galinda -- who becomes Glinda -- and Elphaba ... the friendship of these two women and how their characters lead them to completely different destinies . '' In addition to this change in focus , other major plot modifications include Fiyero 's appearance as the scarecrow , Elphaba 's survival at the end , Nessarose using a wheelchair instead of being born without arms , Boq having a continuing love interest for Glinda -- and eventually becoming the Tin Woodman instead of Nick Chopper , the complete cutting of Elphaba 's years in the Vinkus , the deletion of Liir 's birth , Fiyero not having a wife and children , and Doctor Dillamond not being murdered .
Dorothy Gale
In Baum 's 1902 stage musical adaptation , Dorothy was played by Anna Laughlin . In 1908 L. Frank Baum adapted his early Oz novels as The Fairylogue and Radio - Plays , with Romola Remus as Dorothy . This was followed by The Wonderful Wizard of Oz , a motion picture short that Otis Turner , one of the directors of Fairylogue , made without Baum as part of a contract fulfillment . In this 1910 film , Dorothy was played by Bebe Daniels . It was followed by two sequels ( the same year ) , Dorothy and the Scarecrow in Oz and The Land of Oz , both of which included Dorothy , but whether Daniels participated is unknown . Baum subsequently loosely adapted The Wonderful Wizard of Oz into a 1914 motion picture directed by J. Farrell MacDonald titled His Majesty , the Scarecrow of Oz with Violet MacMillan as Dorothy .
Stanley Kubrick's unrealized projects
In the early 1990s , Kubrick nearly entered the production stage of a film adaptation of Louis Begley 's Wartime Lies , the story of a boy and his aunt as they are in - hiding from the Nazi regime during the Holocaust -- the first - draft screenplay , entitled Aryan Papers , was penned by Kubrick himself . Full Metal Jacket co-screenwriter Michael Herr reports that Kubrick had considered casting Julia Roberts or Uma Thurman as the aunt ; eventually , Johanna ter Steege was cast as the aunt and Joseph Mazzello as the young boy . Kubrick traveled to the Czech city of Brno , as it was envisaged as a possible filming location for the scenes of Warsaw during wartime , and cinematographer Elemér Ragályi was selected by Kubrick to be the director of photography .

The Lovely Bones (film)
Jackson explained he enjoyed the novel because he found it `` curiously optimistic '' and uplifting because of the narrator 's sense of humor , adding there was a difference between its tone and subject matter . He felt very few films dealt with the loss of a loved one . Jackson foresaw the most challenging element in the novel to adapt was the portrayal of Susie , the protagonist , in her heaven , and making it `` ethereal and emotional but not hokey . '' Saoirse Ronan explained Jackson chose to depict the afterlife as depending on Susie 's emotions . `` Whenever Susie feels happy , Heaven is sunny and there 's birds and everything . Whenever it 's not so great , it 's raining or she 's in the middle of an ocean . '' Jackson described the book 's description of `` heaven '' as being an `` In - Between '' rather than a true heaven and said he was not trying to paint a definitive picture of Heaven itself . `` ( W ) hen Jackson created Susie 's heaven , in a 1973 world , he went through the Partridge Family television show archives as a reference . '' ``
The Land of Stories
On June 13 , 2017 , it was announced that Twentieth Century Fox is developing a film adaptation of the first book , The Wishing Spell , with Colfer directing and writing the screenplay .

A live - action film version of E.B. White 's original story was released in 2006 . A video game based on this adaption was also released in 2006 .
The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson
`` Floyd R. Turbo '' , a dimwitted yokel responding to a TV station editorial . Floyd always spoke haltingly , as though reading from cue cards , and railed against some newsworthy topic , like Secretaries ' Day : `` This raises the question : Kiss my Dictaphone ! '' `` Art Fern '' , the fast - talking host of a `` Tea Time Movie '' program , who advertised inane products , assisted by the attractive Matinee Lady , played by Paula Prentiss ( late 1960s ) , Carol Wayne ( the most familiar Matinee Lady , 1971 -- 82 ) , Danuta Wesley ( 1984 ) , and Teresa Ganzel ( 1985 -- 92 ) . The fake movies Art would introduce usually had eclectic casts ( `` Ben Blue , Red Buttons , Jesse White , and Karen Black '' ) and nonsensical titles ( `` Rin - Tin - Tin Gets Fixed Fixed Fixed '' ) . This would be followed by a four - second stock film clip before coming back for another commercial , usually catching Art and the Matinee Lady in a very compromising position . On giving directions to a fake store he was touting , Fern would show a spaghetti - like road map , sometimes with a literal `` fork in the road '' , other times making the joke , `` Go to the Slauson Cutoff ... '' , and the audience would recite with him , `` ... cut off your Slauson ! '' The character was previously named `` Honest Bernie Schlock '' and then `` Ralph Willie '' when the Tea Time sketches first aired in the mid-to - late 1960s . At least one surviving pre-1972 Art Fern sketch that originated from New York had its movie show title as `` The Big Flick '' , an amalgam of two movie show titles in use at the time by New York station WOR - TV , The Big Preview and The Flick . On that sketch Lee Meredith was the Matinee Lady . Carson 's Comedy Classics features an episode where Juliet Prowse is in the role of Matinee Lady , from 20 August 1971 .
Stanley Kubrick's unrealized projects
Following J.R.R. Tolkien 's sale of the film rights for The Lord of the Rings to United Artists in 1969 , the rock band The Beatles considered a corresponding film project and approached Kubrick as a potential director ; however , Kubrick turned down the offer , explaining to John Lennon that he thought the novel could not be adapted into a film due to its immensity . The eventual director of the film adaptation Peter Jackson further explained that a major hindrance to the project 's progression was Tolkien 's opposition to the involvement of the Beatles .
Jesus Christ Superstar
A second adaptation was filmed in 1999 , and released around the world on video in 2000 and 2001 . It starred Glenn Carter as Jesus , Jérôme Pradon as Judas , Reneé Castle as Mary Magdalene , and Rik Mayall as Herod , and was directed by Gale Edwards and Nick Morris . It was released on video in the UK in October 2000 . In the U.S. it was released on VHS and DVD in March 2001 , and aired on PBS 's Great Performances series in April 2001 . It won the International Emmy Award for Best Performing Arts Film in November 2001 . The style of the film is more like the stage version than the location - based 1973 adaptation , and it used many of the ideas from the 1996 -- 1999 UK production .
List of films considered the worst
The independently produced The Room , about an amiable banker whose friends betray him one by one , has been called `` the Citizen Kane of bad movies '' by some critics . Though the film 's star , writer , producer and director Tommy Wiseau , has claimed it is a black comedy and its numerous flaws are intentional , other actors involved in the production have denied this , saying that Wiseau intended it as a melodramatic romance . The Room has been noted for its bizarre and non-sequiturial dialogue , protracted sex scenes , various subplots that are inadequately resolved or simply disappear altogether ( most notably , a character announces that she has breast cancer , but this is never mentioned again ) , and infamous use of green - screen for `` outdoor '' rooftop scenes . It made its broadcast premiere as an April Fools ' Day special in 2009 on Cartoon Network 's Adult Swim block , edited down from its original R rating to a TV - 14 / DSLV rating . The day after its appearance , its DVD became the top - selling independent film on Amazon.com . In June 2010 , The Room started playing at the American Film Institute Silver Theatre in Silver Spring , Maryland . Mystery Science Theater 3000 alumni Michael J. Nelson , Kevin Murphy , and Bill Corbett produced an audio commentary track to accompany the movie through their site RiffTrax.com . In 2013 , the book The Disaster Artist , written by Greg Sestero and Tom Bissell , was published ; the book is Sestero 's memoir of his involvement in the production of the movie . The book was adapted into a film of the same name , directed by and starring James Franco as Wiseau and his brother Dave Franco as Sestero .
Oliver Twist
One early 21st century film adaptation of the novel dispenses with the paradox of Oliver 's genteel origins by eliminating his origin story completely , making him just another anonymous orphan like the rest of Fagin 's gang . Oliver
Fried Green Tomatoes
Critics enjoyed the narrative , but found it conventional and predictable . The adaptation of the separate narrative of book to the screen was criticised by Time Out as `` clumsy '' , Roger Ebert praised the performances , Janet Maslin praised the costume and production design and Emanuel Levy praised the cinematography and score . The cast drew praise for their performances , particularly Masterson and Tandy .
The Fault in Our Stars (film)

Actress Sanjana Sanghi was announced as the female lead later that month .
Field of Dreams
Phil Alden Robinson read Shoeless Joe in 1981 and liked it so much that he brought it to producers Lawrence Gordon and Charles Gordon . Lawrence Gordon worked for 20th Century Fox , part of the time as its president , and repeatedly mentioned that the book should be adapted into a film . The studio , however , always turned down the suggestion because they felt the project was too esoteric and noncommercial . Meanwhile , Robinson went ahead with his script , frequently consulting W.P. Kinsella , the book 's author , for advice on the adaptation . Lawrence Gordon left Fox in 1986 and started pitching the adaptation to other studios . Universal Studios accepted the project in 1987 and hired USC coach Rod Dedeaux as baseball advisor . Dedeaux brought along World Series champion and USC alumnus Don Buford to coach the actors .

Cakewalk
Cakewalk music incorporated polyrhythm , syncopation , and the hambone rhythm into the regular march rhythm . Schuller considers the syncopation of the hambone rhythm to be `` an idiomatic corruption , a flattened - out mutation of what was once the true polyrhythmic character of African music '' . However , the figure known as the hambone is one of the most basic duple - pulse rhythmic cells in sub-Saharan African music traditions . The `` hambone rhythm '' is found in the oldest known traditional music of the Ewe of Ghana , Togo , and Dahomey , to name just one ethnic group . It is heard in traditional drumming music , from Mali to Mozambique , and from Senegal to South Africa . The rhythmic figure is also prominent in popular African dance genres such as afrobeat , highlife , and soukous . Although its duple - pulse structure is identical to common time in European - based meter , the pattern of attack - points of the hambone rhythm possess a true African polyrhythmic character , or more precisely , a cross-rhythmic character .
