From A Book to the Big Screen




Did you see Breaking Dawn, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part II), or The Three Musketeers in theaters this year? Did you read the book before seeing the movie or did you have to read it right after? 



Many of this year’s blockbuster hits started out on the bookshelf before making their way to the big screen. Also, there are many books currently in the process of being made into movies - like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald, or The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks – that will be coming out in theaters in 2012. 

If you are looking for a book that you can read and then watch check out the Mid-Continent Public Library’s “Based on the Book” Database. You’ll be amazed at how many movies are based off published books.
Send us in your thoughts on what book to movie combination is your favorite or what book you think should be made into a movie.
