(Since starting UA-cam, some of you have been asking what's wrong with my hands. This video should answer any questions :) • My Disability | EEC Sy... )
This video contains no sponsored content.
Two more I'd like to mention:
1. The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry deadline.com/2021/02/jim-broadbent-unlikely-pilgrimage-harold-fry-movie-rachel-joyce-normal-people-1234692909/
2. A Kind of Spark www.c21media.net/news/bbc-childrens-9-story-adapt-elle-mcnicoll-book-a-kind-of-spark-for-tv/
PS Correction! I meant a Ted Chaing short story. I recently read an article that The Arrival filmmakers are adapting a Ken Liu short story, too, so that was stuck in my brain: www.theverge.com/2019/6/27/18761112/the-message-ken-liu-adaptation-arrival-producers-sci-fi-21-laps-filmnation x
Thank you so much for putting this video together. I loved it. I read Passing and can't wait to see the adaptation!
Omg! So many things to look forward to! I'm living for Jemima Kirk playing awful messy chrachters!
Appreciate this list so much! Thanks for putting it together.
You’re welcome!
I read Poor things for a university class and it has stuck with me for 15 years and I couldn't remember the title and had been trying to find it. The fact that it pops up here has made my day! Now I'm going to find it at the library, scribd etc. I need to read it again.
Yey! Happy rereading ☺️ x
This is such a fantastic video. So useful. Thank you so much Jen 😍 So many great books being adapted. I've read some of them and some of them are on my tbr.
Andrew Scott is so perfect for Ripley!
I'm half way through reading My Policeman by Bethan Roberts, which I MAY have mainly picked up because Harry Styles is going to star in the film.
I have finally bought The Talented Mr Ripley and will see how I find it before getting on to the rest of the series, and before looking at any film adaptations. I plan to watch Passing this weekend though, thanks for the tip!
Just realised it’s not out in the UK on Netflix until next week, but if you’re based elsewhere it might be out already xx
I only heard about the adaptation news for a few of these. Thanks for the list. I'm so excited for all them!
Tried to jot down many that I haven’t read and that appeal to me. I will give most anything a try but our rule in the house his you have to read before you watch. I think I’ve read about 2 percent of what you mentioned but I also have a few sitting on my shelves. I guess I’d better catch up on the British Baking Show before all of these series and films drop!! Thank you for giving such a list. Also, Jen, I wanted to send you a sincere thank you on your wig/scarf video and just seeing how you wear your hair every day. I have terminal cancer but, fortunately, the different chemo are keeping me up pretty well. One of the biggest consistent issues obviously is hair loss. This past year is the first time I’ve not been bald since 2014. So I’m just growing hair until my protocol changes and it starts falling out again. But seeing your videos (the older ones as well) gives me ideas on how to cover up when and if I need to. I don’t mind going out with a shaved head, but I do live in southern Washington State and it rains a lot and is pretty chilly. Always good to be prepared! So thank you for being such a positive light for those with disabilities and chronic illnesses. Your forthrightness has made me a bit more outspoken I believe as well. Take care! 💕📖📚
Looking forward to the Essex Serpent, the new The Talented Mr. Ripley, Poor Things, Leave the World Behind, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and A Kind of Spark :). I'm luke-warm about the adaption of His Dark Materials (I just can't get over the fact that the actress they picked displays nothing of Lyra's personality). Thanks for the informative video, Jen! Happy Monday!
I adored Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe! This is super exciting, but of course adaptations of faves are always nerve wracking
Oh my, so many of my to be read books are on your list! I'm going to be very busy in the next months catching up!
I need to start watching His Dark Materials again. I don't know if I'll be able to watch Pachinko, but I loved the book. Ooh, Essex Serpent, and I bet some of my acquaintances will see the adaptation, because of Hiddleston. I'm glad you're not cynical about adaptations even though a lot of them are bad or mediocre. I hear a lot of people dismissing immediately and it bugs me.
Your videos are such a joy
So many of these sound amazing! I didn't realise they were adapting Lanny. Absolutely loved that one and, like you, I'm intrigued as to how they'll translate the experimental form to screen. 😊
Thanks for putting together this list! Wow, so much cool stuff to watch! :)
This video is so helpful since I love making book vs movie videos! I’m excited to watch passing, I’m also intrigued by paper girls and heart stopper interesting when a graphic novel is adapted. Looking forward to researching these too!
Fabulous info. Wrote a lot down Jen👌😁
Jen, your videos are always informative and entertaining!! Thank you so much for this video!! ❤🌹
Also, I'm very excited for 'Conversations with friends'!💛
Not me watching this thinking 2022 is two years away 😮💨 excited to see peach cobbler come to life!!!
Thanks for doing this as I had no idea half of these were being adapted! So many good ones 🤩
This is probably one of the most useful booktube videos I've ever watched. I ended up writing down both books and movies/tv shows that I want to watch, plus movies/tv shows that I want to recommend to friends based on their tastes. I'm particularly excited about the adaptations of Conversations With Friends and Leave the World Behind. Mrs. March sounds great as both a book and movie, and I am a big fan of Elizabeth Moss. Thank you for your work on this list!
I so hoped that you would mention an adaptation of the Frieda Klein that I am now addicted to thanks to you 😂
I don't know why, but the colour palette you went for today is giving me major Kay O'Neill vibes :)
Another one for your list is My Policeman by Bethan Roberts . I’ve read 11 of those books. I’m most looking forward to seeing the adaptation of The Storied Life of AJ Fikry
What a great video. Thank you. Don't foget the Wheel of Time series coming out any day now,
That's not on my personal list but I hope you enjoy it. x
Your outfit also matches 'the Essex Serpent', I love it! I've never heard of that book before but I definitely need to pick it up now!
So excited to see Passing! I loved the Vanishing Half and thanks to your recommendations I am also planning to read Passing and then watch the adaptation too (hopefully soon)! The Secret Lives of Church Ladies, Mrs March, and Leave the World Behind have also been on my tbr for a while because of you too so I'll likely watch the adaptations of those as well after I read them.
PS: I loved the Sister Who Ate Her Brothers! My favourite story was the Woman and the Glass Mountain but they were all so wonderful and The House that Was Filled With Ghosts left me craving the tea in the story so bad haha.
This is a brilliant video! Saving them all and the ones I haven’t read I am going to try and prioritise as there’s some great adaptations coming out soon by the sounds of it ☺️
Oh wow, so many good ones, especially The Vanishing Half. A couple of others - I'm cautiously excited about the adaptation of My Policeman, since it's set in Brighton and am really looking forward to a rumoured adaptation of After The Storm, Emma Jane Unsworth's memoir about post-natal depression.
I’m in intrigued by Poor Things! I adore that book so much, so I don’t know, I feel hesitant to think about an adaptation but also I think Yorgos Lanthimos being the director is such a good choice! Let’s see what happened. Have a good day Jen
If anyone can do it, he can! x
Ohhh Station Eleven! Excited for that one!
Sorry Jen, I think you meant Ted Chiang’s short story. The Arrival is based on his story Stories of your Life. Ted Chiang fits so much in his short stories!
Ah, I did! I recently read an article that the Arrival filmmakers are adapting a Ken Liu short story, so that was stuck in my brain: www.theverge.com/2019/6/27/18761112/the-message-ken-liu-adaptation-arrival-producers-sci-fi-21-laps-filmnation x
Read Kindred. I have just read it and it was so good. Not only exploring the racism of the time but also how time travel will affect your normal life - I loved it!
Ahhhhh! SO MUCH EXCITEMENT! 🤩Thanks so much for this video! I cannot think of a better director for an adaptation of Poor Things! 😱 Both the Lobster and the Favourite are brilliantly weird 😅
Omg so many exciting adaptations!! I am SO EXCITED for Poor Things!!
I had no idea most of these were being produced so thank you so much! I only knew about the Elena Ferrante one and I really reccomend the series even if you didn't enjoy the books because it's very tense and intriguing (I think). Anyway, I'm looking forward to see most of these!
So excited to hear there's going to be a tv series of A Mouthful of Birds. An excellent collection of short stories!
Have read Pachinko, think it's a good as everyone says it is. Totally intrigued about Station Eleven, loved the book but felt there was a ton of symbolism that was going over my head. I almost felt it needed studying. Most interested in My Name Is Leon. I love kit de waal, and have been meaning to read this for a while. Now I've realised it's read by Lenny Henry that's next in my list to listen to! Thanks for all your work in putting this together!
You’re welcome, I did make a video about the symbolism in Station Eleven if you’re interested in searching for that. It’s a video from about six years ago though, so bear that in mind, ha x
I'm 2 minutes in but already so excited to watch this!! I feel a bullet journal spread coming on... 😁😁💛
Oh wow, great video, so many adaptations coming up! I was looking forward to the Persuasion adaptation that was announced last year starring Sarah Snook, but sadly it got cancelled when Netflix announced its own adaptation...
I’m gonna need to get reading! Kindred, Pachinko, and Passing on my list but I definitely want to read before watching! Great list- thank you!
Daisy Jones and The Six and All The Light We Cannot See are on my list to watch! Loved both those books and bought copies of All The Light… for everyone in my life!
Great video! :) Just a little correction: it is not an adaptation of „The Lord of the Rings“, but other work by Tolkien set in the same world. It is the adaptation I am the most excited for. Although I didn’t know about the ork Casting and That puts me off a bit 😣
All wrapped up in bed with a fever after my third dose and binging your latest videos helps 💗
Time travel is definitely having a moment :D
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir has been casted with Ryan Gosling as lead!
Leave the world behind is one of the creepiest books I’ve ever read without anything creepy actually happening in it. Hopefully the adaptation manages to get that vibe across.
Jen, would you recommend Sally Rooney’s latest to someone who is not particularly interested in reading about romantic relationships? I liked Conversations with friends but not Normal people.
It’s more along the lines of CWF but I didn’t love it myself. I reviewed it recently if you want to search for that to see if you like the sound of it. Just search UA-cam for my name and the title of the book and the relevant reading vlog will come up x
I know what you mean, I adored Station 11 but now it feels a bit too close for comfort. I’ll probably watch, but I will have to see how I feel when it comes out. Also, when I absolutely love a book I sometimes can’t bear to watch the adaptation in case they “got it wrong” compared to my imagination. 😂
Hey Jen. Love your videos! Hope you won't mind a small correction: Arrival is based on "Story of Your Life" by Ted Chiang, not Ken Liu. Although both are brilliant SciFi short story writers so I can see where the confusion came from.
Thank you, I know :) There's a correction in the pinned comment. xx
Great video, thank you. There's also a film coming out at Christmas which is a remake of The Amazing Mr Blunden. Really looking forward to it as it was one of my favourite books and I loved the original film. Also, Pachinko is really good, would really recommend reading it. X
Amazing list!!! I'm looking foward to see Mothering Sunday with Josh O'Connor, based on Graham Swift's book. Saw the trailer and an interview with the director and loved it.
I'm very excited to see the adaptation of Passing, just need to make time to watch it now it's on Netflix!
I am cautiously optimistic about the "Paper Girls" adaptation, as a lover of the comics but a skeptic when it comes to comic book movies. The "White Noise" and "The Essex Serpent" adaptations sound really exciting!
I've seen the trailed for 'The Lost Daughter' and will be watching it because I watch everything Olivia Coleman is in. 'Leave the world behind' looks like it has an amazing cast. Also excited to watch My Name is Leon, Conversations with Friends, Deepwater and Mrs Hinch.
Thank you!!! ❤️🌷
Jen Bearer of Good News Campbell, thank you for this
😘
Really enjoyed this video, some great adaptations to look forward to.
Kindred is one of my all time faves, I'd highly recommend it.
Ooh hope they do make the Earthsea books!
Excited for the Essex Serpent and the Power - not read either of those, but would be interested in watching adaptions of them funnily enough. I wonder how they will handle Frances in the adaption of Convos with Friends. I found her to be so manipulative and dislikable, especially reading the story from her perspective, so it'll be intriguing to see how she is depicted. Also looking forward to seeing the person who plays Nick, because I thought he was pretty sexy.
Also - this is such a great video idea!! Hope you do more of these in the future. Was so good, to hear about a big range of adaptions, so thanks for the research!
I dnf'd the power earlier this year as I really didn't like the writing style. But I'm sure it would make an amazing adaptation 😊
I looked up Passing.. it comes out on the 10th Nov in the UK..I'm always fascinated by this topic but generally the book is better.. I know that's a very contentious opinion..Absolutely ADORE Frances Ha! Not many people seem to have heard of it in my experience.I was suoer excited about Leave The World Behind as I have just finished this but not a fan of Julia Roberts so prob will give it a swerve,, shame as I feel it could be done really well on film..
Ah, you’re right! Damn it, I wanted to watch it this evening. On the plus, it does mean that the video title of ‘upcoming’ book to film releases is now accurate across all books mentioned 😅
Just thought of another one
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
is currently being filmed.
Ahhh, when you said that I immediately thought 'I hope Jim Broadbent is playing Harold!' and he is! Yey! x
There's also going to be an HBO series adaptation of The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen which I'm looking forward to!
I'm looking forward to Andrew Scott as Mr Ripley, though I've had my fill of the story. I preferred Plein Soleil with Delon to the much newer film by Damon. I rate Scott really highly, and in my opinion he is the only person alive who acting wise, can out-act legends like Daniel Day Lewis, Tom Hardy, Javier Bardem, and others.
I think you would really enjoy Kindred.
There was a trailer for one af Alma Katsu' s horror stories...any idea what happened?
I love Weinstein and didn't know this was a thing and to say I GASPED jen!
No Nikki French / Frieda Klein adaptions 😔
Not yet. 😞
Did you like the new LOTR show that came out last year?
I didn’t watch it, as it had such bad reviews x
Thank you for a lovely video. So many exciting things to look forward to. Just one thing I wanted to mention, however. You said when you were talking about Leave the world behind by Rumaan Alam that the white family was suspicious of the black family on the doorstep and this was racist. Why is this racism? Wouldn’t anyone be suspicious of someone who randomly showed up on their doorstep and told them something obscure? Why is it automatically branded racist. Just because they’re white? Talking to someone black. No other reason.
It’s a novel about class and race; the main characters are racist.
