reader4evr Jan 26 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2 I think the actors & director need to have read it #YearofYA

MolleeBranden - Moderator Jan 26 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2: Audience is likely readers so staying true to the story is important; huge changes like in Insurgent causes major probs! #YearofYA

tavia_clark - Moderator Jan 26 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2. I think it's important that actors have read the book, met the author, & I think the author should be involved in some way. #YearofYA

bjneary Jan 26 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 I think keeping to the book plot is important & that they get actors/actresses right #YearofYA

beachcruiser6 Jan 26 @ 8:18 PM EST

#YearofYA A2 hard! YAs are very literal as a rule - so staying true to the book is even more impt for this age. IMO

tavia_clark - Moderator Jan 26 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2. Stick to the story as much as possible. Readers want to see the story as they remember it. #YearofYA

A4. I also don't like when they completely chance a character's appearance from how he/she is described in the book. #YearofYA

tavia_clark - Moderator Jan 26 @ 8:38 PM EST

@MolleeBranden I was so upset. But that's just me. #YearofYA

MolleeBranden - Moderator Jan 26 @ 8:38 PM EST

@tavia_clark this is like a thorn in my side. drives me bananas! #YearofYA

lpdeal Jan 26 @ 8:38 PM EST

A4 When they make lots of changes, I want to know why they even bothered calling it a movie version of the book at all! #YearofYA

reader4evr Jan 26 @ 8:38 PM EST

@tavia_clark that bugs me too #YearofYA

FriendRsquared Jan 26 @ 8:39 PM EST

A4. It depends on how much I liked the book. If I loved the book changes annoy me. If the book was meh then I don't mind so much. #yearofya

A4: Insurgent got to me, but I’m holding out hope that they make changes to Allegiant since everyone hated the book! #YearofYA

lpdeal Jan 26 @ 8:39 PM EST

@tavia_clark That was my initial pet peeve with Pretty Little Liars! The actresses look NOTHING like described in the books. #YearofYA

MolleeBranden - Moderator Jan 26 @ 8:40 PM EST

A4: Translating movies to the big screen is scary & we don't want to see our fave characters/stories get distorted (1/2) #YearofYA

tavia_clark - Moderator Jan 26 @ 8:40 PM EST

@lpdeal Yes, it's almost like why bother! But then they're not always making the show/movie for the readers. #YearofYA

MolleeBranden - Moderator Jan 26 @ 8:40 PM EST

A4: but I understand that directors/producers are telling their own stories. Just PLEASE give credit to the author(s)!! #YearofYA

@MolleeBranden Agree, it was the author's story first, it should stay that way. If not, they should write their own movies. #YearofYA

@MolleeBranden agreed #YearofYA

@smmcfate hahaha that's the ONLY reason I'll see it - hoping they completely change how Allegiant ended up! #YearofYA

Q5 now that you're thinking of movies that made you mad... #YearofYA https://t.co/rBYSipY6bn

tavia_clark - Moderator Jan 26 @ 8:45 PM EST

A5. A lot of my "favorite lines" from the book get lost in the adaptation since they're not always included in dialogue. #YearofYA

smmcfate Jan 26 @ 8:46 PM EST

A4. With big changes, I DO at times try to make myself separate movie from the bk & try to figure out if it was even a good film. #YearofYA

smmcfate Jan 26 @ 8:46 PM EST

@tavia_clark @bjneary @MolleeBranden Did anyone? LOL #YearOfYA

lpdeal Jan 26 @ 8:46 PM EST

A5 Not very specific, but I feel like the essence of the characters can get lost. Too often I'm all SHE WOULD NEVER DO THAT! #YearofYA

MolleeBranden - Moderator Jan 26 @ 8:47 PM EST

A5: maybe not lost, but our vision of the world/characters that authors created get dulled when we see it outside our heads #YearofYA

MolleeBranden - Moderator Jan 26 @ 8:47 PM EST

@MolleeBranden @tavia_clark Potter eyes (sorry just back momentarily. Couldn't resist.)

tavia_clark - Moderator Jan 26 @ 8:47 PM EST

A5. Characters get lost - they're often created for the movie in a way that will pull mass appeal - not necessarily like the book. #YearofYA

reader4evr Jan 26 @ 8:47 PM EST

@lpdeal yes agreed #YearofYA

lpdeal Jan 26 @ 8:47 PM EST

A5 And sometimes I love a character in the book then love them less after seeing them in action, which is disappointing. #YearofYA

MolleeBranden - Moderator Jan 26 @ 8:48 PM EST

A5: 2 that haven't let me down: TFIOS & Harry Potter! Quotes on point in the movies :) #YearofYA https://t.co/krI3KdfV6D
