Hell, there’s even an adaptation of Don Delillo’s White Noise coming to Netflix next year. We made a lengthy comparison between the paths that Lord of the Rings and Dune took to the screen, but just think: in the past decade, John Carter, Cloud Atlas, The Dark Tower, and a whole host of other works have made it to the screen, to say nothing of the full translation of the Marvel Comics universe to the big screen. For reasons too many to number in a news post like this, it’s been a pretty interesting century for the film industry, but one fascinating trend that stands out is how the dominos have fallen when it comes to adapting novels and comics and whatnot that were considered to be impossible to film. ![]()
