Bigwig production studios and directors turning to popular books of different genres for inspiration has become de rigueur in the movie business today. Initially movie-makers made the mistake of trimming down the grandeur of the story’s location due to monetary constraints, taking out characters they deemed unimportant to save on time, and more importantly failed to fully understand the emotional underlays of the whole plot.

However, with time and feeding on the constructive criticism from fans, book adaptations have come a long way. Sincere efforts are made to carefully transfer the sacred emotions and relay the plot in an undiluted manner on the big screen to appease the avid fans.

So, what drives the movie directors to peruse the bookshelves, more than ever, looking for the inspiration for their next breakthrough movie?

- Saves resources

Using popular works of established authors turn out to be a time and resource saver as compared to developing a story in-house from scratch. One of the biggest benefits of turning books into movies is the ready availability of the plot and characters. This frees up time and manpower that can be directed toward producing a successful movie with the readily sourced material.

- Mitigates risk

Marketing a movie is a big deal today to ensure a steady stream of moviegoers that will help them get a good return on their investment. When a popular book is made into a movie, it reduces the marketing efforts as the book has already managed to build a huge fan following. This built-in audience provides a certain degree of security to the movie-makers. Case in point, Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit, Jurassic Park, among many other hugely successful books that boast of a huge readership.

- Two-way benefit

Book adaptations equally benefit the book and its author. These movies act as a strong vehicle for marketing for the authors and their publishers. It brings in new readers, while also resurrecting the existing readers’ interest in the book again. A good adaptation helps push up the sale of the books as many fans get introduced to the author’s work through the movie and are able to get easy access to the book thanks to the convenient services of eBook sites like Lassmedia.
