From Rick Riordan’s unbridled hatred of the Percy Jackson films to the notorious battle between Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick, film history is rich with authorial anger when it comes to the journey from page to screen. In this video we dive into ten examples of comic book writers and novelists who looked at what famous directors did with their work and felt just a bit slighted - or, if it’s Alan Moore, just kinda felt that way to begin with. Many of these authors were used to Hollywood damaging their good name - Clive Barker sat through a bunch of Hellraiser sequels before directing his ire at one in particular, while crime novelist James Ellroy couldn’t be bothered to really enjoy a single movie based on his work. Shockingly, even some of the most beloved films, like Disney’s Mary Poppins and the Gene Wilder classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory received a cold reception from their respective creators. It’s tough out there for an opinionated artist! We haven’t forgotten about the anime fans in the audience either, although the response from Katsuhiro Otomo is far more tame and understanding compared to writers like Lois Duncan, whose comments make it seem like she was personally attacked by the slasher film take on her YA novel… and you know what, she might not be wrong about that!

I clicked to make sure Rick Riordan was on here and saw that Hades' arrival at CHB was in the intro so I'm happy 😂😌
Trust me, Riordan wasn't alone in his hatred for Percy Jackson
I watched the first 15 minutes and I was like nope 🙅
@@Spooky_l3xxi I watched the movies first and every time I think about the movies it pains me
I tried to watch it and the entire time I was screaming at the screen and correcting everything including the dialogues.
@@tazmanabarakat6741 the first time i watched it after reading the books i was doing that until 7 minutes in i gave up
Rick Riordan hates the Percy Jackson movies more than The internet hated the original Sonic the Hedgehog
And I hate the Artemis fowl adaptation eeeeww
@@fishsoldier1232 I don’t think you could even call it an adaption if it has nothing to do with the original book
Hopefully the Disney+ show is better
@@brendan4784 I know they were like ok there are fairy’s and I think a dad let’s make it anyway it will make money
@@fishsoldier1232 Disney doesn’t see franchises like Star Wars and Artemis Fowl they just see dollar signs
I just knew there’s going to be Percy Jackson on this list😂
same.
Ya how did they mess it up so much
I watched it just because I knew Percy had to be on here hahahahaha
Yo why is your profile picture so depressed ); lol
Same. It's why I clicked on the video. I like the movies, just not when comparing them to the books, ya know?
Knew The Shining and Clock Work Orange would be on this list.
I understand Clockwork Orange but not the Shining
I know about Stephen King hating the movie because of that fact being referenced in Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player 1.
If you read the book first, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory actually is pretty terrible as a comparison. Charly and the Chocolate Factory, on the other hand, follows the book very well. Also considering Roald Doal's wife helped create it, it's easy to see why the latter is superior.
I like both, but I definitely enjoyed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory more than Willie Wonka. Just about the only thing I liked more was Gene Wilder's charisma in the movie
@@SebasTian58323
Johnny Depp's version was too annoyingly awkward.
Bullshit. The first film is way better and faithful and The Second film directly lifts alot of Dialogue straight from the first film, so NO! It is NOT more faithful whatsoever, dipshit.
@@welcometothemetaverse2523 he's been isolated away from human contact for years so it makes sense
If Roald Dahl didn’t like the original, imagine how much he would’ve hated the remake...
He would hate it. Even though some parts are more accurate than the original.
He disliked the movie so much. He doesn't want any sequel made.
According to his wife he actually would of loved the newer version.
@@mattrogersftw true. Since it wasn't part of the main story. But they are still parts "missing" and for good reason.
He was probably rolling in his grave when it was announced.
I’m a bit surprised that Roald Dahl don’t like the movie. I read the original book and I thought the film is a pretty faithful adaptation
(Tbh, by the time of the movie, Roald Dahl already has a huge reputation as a grouchy old man)
"Harder-edged, British actor like Peter Sellers . . . "
Shows picture of David Niven.
You guys Google-image searched "Pink Panther actor" and picked the wrong guy, huh?
“I’m not going to hurt you I’m just going to bash your brains in” wow what a start to a video were the book wrighters hating the movies
What about book rongers?
I'm not gonna lie my friend, that is some awesome spelling right there! 👌
@@Geohillierneo yeah Ik its trash
The Percy Jackson movies is the same as the Last Airbender movie. We pretend they never existed.
As an author myself, I love movies, but film adaptations often fail to capture the imagery in books. They might adapt the plot, but the imagery is usually discarded. To an author, the facial mannerisms of characters are important, sometimes even more important than the story itself, but filmmakers, often through no fault of their own, frequently fail to take such things into account.
The voice actor:
“ROO-ALD DOLL”
Everyone Else:
“Roald Doal”
Bruv it hurts
@@chrisspoohbear8903
I know I hate it
No it's obviously Ronald McDonald
It’s actually pronounced “Roll Darl”
I imagine him rolling around in his grave at the new Witches.
I defintly hated the percy jackson movies, they deserved justice. I'm happy for the upcoming disney+ series
I don’t think any author would be happy with their book as a movie or tv series adaptation, even if it was a masterpiece, the author themselves wouldn’t find it to be a masterpiece because it doesn’t feel like theirs anymore if that makes sense (because some changes are made and not in the books)
Wrong, dumbass. Several Authors love their film Adaptions. The writer of Who Censored Roger Rabbit? Loved The movie so much more than his own book that he wrote a sequel and made the first book a dream that Jessica Rabbit had.
@@MrParkerman6 oh didn’t know that but you could’ve just said that without calling me a dumbass you dumbass
Saving Mr Banks is a wonderful film.
10:00 funny Katsuhiro Otomo would dislike Akira when he both wrote the manga AND directed the movie.
I think it's poor research from the presenters in this case. Might as well make a video about directors not liking their own films
TBH with you the Charlie and the chocolate adaptation was nothing like the book no wonder Rauhld Dhal hated it
It is a great movie though
The older one was actually less accurate.
@Cas Cas
No it wasn't, dumbass. The original film is way more accurate. The Second one is four times less accurate.
If we could harness energy from hate, the Alan Moore hate of his work's adaptions would power a small nation.
he's an ego manic. after the 1st time his work wasnt adapted to his sastification, moore couldve said no.
Gods I was a hundred percent certain that Percy Jackson was going to be in this video...I just hope the T.V. series I going to be much better than this so....Pray to the Olympians!!
I love you guys so much you make incredible videos and make my day so much better
I love the first Willy Wonka and Marry Poppins.
It's funny how many of these movies are absolutely amazing, and yet these authors act as if they're worthless. No one is saying watch the movie instead of reading the book. No one has ever said that. But Stephen King?! Really?! I'll pick Kubrick over King any day of the week.
I didn't know Curtis Hanson passed away... and I thought he was about twenty years younger.
HOW DO YOU HATE ON MARY POPPINS...THE AUDACITY
When I Saw The Title, The Shining and Stephen King came to my mind.
It would be a crime NOT to have Rick Riordan on this list.
I don’t think Katsuhiro Otomo “hated” the movie. He’s just such a perfectionist that he still isn’t satisfied with the final result.
"and those kittins kids, those are no no words" LOL
Kubrik was known for making adaptations his own works. For the most part they are and they’re unique, arguably better than the source
I still hate what they did to the Percy Jackson series, it's like they didn't read the books or maybe half a chapter of it at most
i clicked for Percy Jackson xD
Same
I was just watching clips from The Shining today
Hey Rick needs to have a cameo in the new series.
Great Job Michael Keene!
Amazing video of authors hate there adaptation of there books into movies.
Akira Toriyama with Dragonball Evolution. I honestly kinda recommend Evolution; I am highly aware it is terrible, and I definitely agree with that sentiment. It's just that depending on how you approach it, it can be hillariously bad. Pretty sure Akira would disagree, though. Long story short, it's the biggest reason we got Beerus in the first place. Akira decided to pretty much say "watch how it's done, kids! Let me give you a REAL DragonBall movie." In fact, the only thing he seemed to like from it was Piccolo's acting, which ended up playing as Zamasu in Super.
The trend I see is books tend to be very personal to authors and the character's experience within the book is the reason it's meaningful and movies seek to tell the story quicker and to as wide an audience as possible so they strip characters down to make them more commercially/socially appealing and that removes the grit and depth the author loved making the movie, no matter how popular or well made, seem shallow.
Also probably a reason readers say "the book was better," I think they mean the book was deeper, more complex, and more of an emotional investment.
Books also have an easier time being introspective and that can be difficult to show on screen.
Micheal Moorcock gave permission to turn his jerry cornelius novel THE FINAL PROGRAM into a movie. When he saw the train wreck of a movie he vowed to never allow another of his books to be filmed, and 40+ years later after many approaches he is sticking to his word.
0:59 Did he just say "Rooald Dahl"
Roo-ald, yeah. It's Scandinavian, if I'm not mistaken.
I heard that H.G. Wells hated the 1932 movie version of the Island of Dr. Moreau.
This is good
Although I don't read many books, I feel bad for successful authors whose books are adapted into movies they end up despising due to the changes the filmmakers decide on, whether or not the film is successful financially or critically.
You need to do ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK
11:28 Kids?? I'm in my late 20s you guys xD
Clockwork really wasn't Kubrick's fault as he actually only read the American printing which ditched the final chapter so he never read the ending to which Burgess referred.
Actually PL Travers made peace with the idea of the Mary Poppins film. She said, quote, "I've seen it once or twice, and I've learned to live with it. It's glamourous and a good film on it's own level, but it is not very like my books."
Wrong, dumbass. She never said that, dipshit.
This is gonna be good
I’m an author and I hope that my books become into movies. Follow your dreams guys
Yup, I knew that old man Alan Moore would be on this list.
Am I the only person who thinks most of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was better than Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? I like both films, but I see hate for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory today I just can't understand.
I agree with you.
Charlie and the Chocolate factory was better than Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Some of those movies are legendary; Willy Wonka, V for Vendetta, Hellraiser #1, some of the best movies I ever seen!
If you thought Peter Jackson's take on Lord of the Rings was bad, just get a load of Rings of Power.
Fran Walsh,Philippa Boyen and.Peter Jackson's take, dumbass.
Stop crediting directors with everythng.
The only good thing about the Percy Jackson movies was getting to watch Logan Lerman's face for 90 minutes
You can't include Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory on this list because Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay!
Liking a screenplay doesn't mean you'll like the movie. The cast and how they are directed will have a huge impact.
You can write a line of dialogue into a screenplay and an actor can deliver it a thousand different ways and the director chooses the one they like best at the end of it all.
@@Poorstargazer23
He said wrote the screenplay, not liked it, dumbass.
What Percy Jackson movies? Only the books exist as far as I’m concerned
Same
roald dahl hated all the movies adapted from his book
Well I wouldn't say that. I mean if he would have hated all of his adaptations then he would have stopped Hollywood from making any more of his adaptations. he didn't. this is either about money or he actually did like some. found some decent.
He liked 1989 BFG movie. It’s even reported he stood up and applauded the movie when it ended.
What about Michael Ende(THE NEVERENDING STORY)?
He was one of like five authors I decided to not use. Unfortunately I have to keep it to a strict ten, and I really wanted to keep Gore Vidal.
I listened to the l.a. confidential and watched it. It would have never made it if they left the majority of what was in the book.
I'm surprised Dean Koontz isn't mentioned. All of the adaptations of his books are crap! Especially Watchers.
Im sure he would love the new version of chalrie and chocolate factory
No he wouldn't, dumbass. He would have hated it more.
I'm just here to give @michaelkeene some love 😁
Noti gang 🐐
Tom Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was almost a one to one adaption of the book. The only difference was Tim Burton made Wonker a bit self centred and hating the kids, Tim Burton also added a back story to Wonker about his father being a dentist.
No it isn't,dumbass. It takes many liberties, as much as the original film, and it isn't Tim Burton's, dumbass. He only directed it, he didn't write it, dumbass. Stop crediting directors with everything.
Woody Allen's first screenplay, "What's New Pussycat?", was butchered so badly by director Clive Donner, that Allen swore he'd never let another person direct his movies!
I get that sometimes they might make edits to time. But with others, nope. They don't care. It might be your story, but you don't know anything and they do. 🤦♂️
Willy Wonka and the CF makes my head hurt. And I adore Gene Wilder. But that movie is a nightmare. The only way I can watch it is with the Rifftrax.
what the hell i expected tales from earthsea on here not Akira but alright it is what it is
LA Confidencial was horrendous.
When I saw The Witches I got mad at the ending because I liked the book better.
In regards to Alan Moore's famed hate of adaptations of his intellectual properties, it seems (from what i've read) to do with how poorly LXG was handle. After that Moore seem to decide to give up on Hollywood and just stiff them with the bill so to speak.
That pronunciation of roal Dahl though. Lols 😂 does he not know who he is or has he never picked a book
It’s literally how it’s pronounced.
Willy Wonka is a **CREEPER** in that movie! 😖 It’s a *VERY* disturbing film.
Akira Toriyama didn’t like evolution lol
Neither did anyone else.
I often wonder how Tolkien would react to Jackson’s films
Hate them i think
Wasn't the treatment of the Ents awful, and not at all necessary?
Fran Walsh
Philippa Boyens
Peter Jackson
Films, yu dumbass.
Stop crediting directors for everything.
First one here. Literally.
Thanks.
this is because the novel requires an imagination from the individual ...obviously this isnt their vision ...
In fairness, James Elleroy is nuts.
Welp. If rohl dahl didn't like the 1971 willy wonka what did he think of the tim burton one?
He was dead
Uhhhhhh... you saw nothing...
His wife liked it though
@@d4m4s74 didn’t Dahl’s wife help consult on the film too or something? I vaguely remember rumblings at the time of her being involved somehow.
To be fair, I despise the animated sequence and n Mary Poppins too
This is the reason why writers are writers and filmmakers are filmmakers. Each monkey in theirs owns spots.
I loved Charlie and the chocolate factory way more than the original
It captured the book better I thought because its not supposed to be super happy
Willy Wonka and The Chocolate factory isn't super happy, dumbass.
Here before 1k views
Wow
She may have hated the first Mary Poppins , but I think she would definitely have loved the 2018 sequel.
Why’s that?
@@FantasticBeasts2024 They mainly stuck with live action with only a couple of songs for the animated scene.
Bullshit. She would have hated it even more.
"we want some tea sis" you're joking right 🙄
Yes.
'I Know What You Did Last Summer', I like some slasher movies, but I did not like this one. I hope there is a remake and go exactly by the novel. the screen writer destroyed my favorite novel.
Well, it was written by Kevin Williamson who wrote the Scream Screenplay so not sure what Lois Duncan expected.
...but I believe she hated it because it was A slasher and her daughter was murdered. If she hated it so.much I am surprised he was able to adapt, write and direct her book "Killing Mr. Griffin into "Teaching Mrs. Tingle" then. Maybe because it isn't a Slasher?
There is even more movies Stephen King hates. He hates the movie adaption of The Running Man
I understand Stephen kings hate for the shining
Yeah great kubrick film bad king adaptation
@@paulelroy6650 yea that's kind of what I mean
*Stanley Kubrick and Diane Johnson film, stop crediting directors for everything, dumbass.
I disagree
Jack Torrence did have an arc
Unless you count being portrayed as slightly crazy to becoming totally cuckoo-banana pants a character arc, he did not. I don’t think Nicholson was a good choice for that character at all (at least at the beginning of the film. He plays unhinged very well toward the end).
I’m on team King with this one. I understand that movies have to take liberties and make changes and edits to adapt a novel, but Kubrick completely sterilized and missed the point of the source material.
I love how I can always tell I'm watching Screen Rant by the number of times my eyes roll at the lame attempts at humor... Seriously, guy...just give us the list and leave the funny stuff to the smarter writers.
Artemis Fowl fans and Percy Jackson fans should all go to group therapy together to heal from the absolute atrocity of their respective YA film adaptations.
And their books, they need to heal from reading that garbage
Former Auror Oh, I forgot the poor Eragon fans! Dragonball and TLA fans are sitting there in the waiting room after their live actions
You can’t pretend the ending to the witches isn’t awful
Oh, it is. I just thought it’d be funny to have a fit over it. (I made this video)
That’s not how you pronounce Roald Dahl...
We need judge Doom to play Willy Wonka and Mary Poppins I would love to pay money to see that train wreck 😂🤣
Oh noooo, Kevin Spacey...... Gotta censor his faceeee... 😑 Seriously
The original Charlie and the çhocolate factory was better than the remake.
Omg I'm so shocked the shining was here ps. I'm about 30 secs in or something just a guess
👍
Steven king times 10....
I love Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory but it's a terrible adaptation. In that aspect Tim Burton's film is far superior, not perfect but a way better adaptation and therefore the one I prefer.
It isn't Tim Burton's film, he didn't write it, only directed, dumbass.
Stop crediting directors for everything.
