| The
Shining Thinner Carrie Firestarter Cujo It Pet Semetary And More! |
Steven King books have been
made into movies for ages. "The Shining" and "Carrie" are just
two of them. A more modern movie version of his books is "Thinner" about a
fat lawyer and the terrible curse placed on him after he kills an old gypsy's daughter.
"Cujo" is about a family in Maine whose little boy finds a dog named Cujo. One
day their car doesnt start, and Cujo apears, but he is transformed. This movie is a
thriller. Many others of Mr. Kings books have been made into movies, such as "Firestarter", about a girl with deadly powers who must run from the govornment,who want to use her as a secret weapon. Steven King's talents are also hitting the small screen. He wrote an episodeof the X-files, about a doll that comes alive. |
Many Micheal Crichton
books are movies. "Jusassic Park" and "The Lost World" are two
of these. JP is more or less based on the book, but those of you who have both seen
and read LW will agree with me that the movie and the book have very little alike.
For instance, in the book, There were oodles of other charachters,such as the villian,
Dodgeson, another kid named Andy, and Levine. Also their was a different plot.
In the book, The part with the T-Rex in LA was not in it, nor was the part with all of the
teams coming to the island, witch was half of the mov ie. Some other books made into movies were "Congo" about the strange gorilla, And the more recent movie, Sphere, starring Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone, and Samuel L. Jackson. Movies arn't the only things being made out of Mr. C's books! Jurrasic Park:The ride is in Universal Studios and features a raft ride through the Park.
