The A.V. Club's Put the book back on the shelf: 13 book-to-film adaptations that the authors hated

Add to my lists | Print this list

This title is a bit of a misnomer as "13 authors that hated the book-to-film adaptations of their work" or "17 or so book-to-film adaptations that the authors hated" would have been more accurate since the Stanislaw Lem entry includes both the 1972 and 2002 adaptation of Solaris and the Alan Moore is as vague as to include any and all derivatives from 2001 to present. I have included the four feature films made from Moore’s work as of the date of this list, May 26, 2009.

1. Clive Cussler
2. Brian Garfield
3-4. Stanislaw Lem
5. Bret Easton Ellis
6. Anne Rice
7. Ernest Hemingway
8. James Ellroy
9. Stephen King
10. Gore Vidal
11. Winston Groom
12. Robert Crumb
13. Elizabeth Wurtzel
14-17. Alan Moore
