KristineAsselin Welcome to #mglitchat! Our topic tonight is Reading the movies, Movies based on MG novels. #mglitchat -9:01 PM May 23rd, 2013
the1stdaughter RT @KristineAsselin: T-minus a minute until #mglitchat kicks off...talking about movies. MG novels turned into movies, that is. #mglitchat -9:01 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin Is it tweetchat that's slow or my computer? Sheesh! #mglitchat -9:02 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis Who brought the popcorn? #mglitchat -9:02 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin Are they any recent films based on MG movies? I can think of the obvious...HP, Percy Jackson, Narnia...any others? #mglitchat -9:02 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti Hi all! #mglitchat -9:02 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @KristineAsselin Slow. I think #kidlitchat had a lot of issues earlier this week. #mglitchat -9:03 PM May 23rd, 2013
JoanneLevy @KristineAsselin I'm finding it slow as well. #mglitchat -9:03 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ City of Ember #Mglitchat -9:03 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin My DD loves Lemonade Mouth, Disney movie based on Mark Peter Hughes novel of the same name. #mglitchat -9:03 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @KristineAsselin #mglitchat Paranorman. Just watched it actually -9:04 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ @KristineAsselin ooh, we liked that too. Lemonade Mouth #Mglitchat -9:04 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @KristineAsselin #mglitchat wimpy kid and Dark is Rising -9:04 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis I love some of the older ones...Winn Dixie, Holes, Matilda #mglitchat -9:04 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ Thief Lord by Cornelia Funkewasn't anything near as good as the book of course. #Mglitchat -9:05 PM May 23rd, 2013
JoanneLevy @rachelnseigel I loved the trailer for Paranorman, but haven't seen (or read) - was it good? #mglitchat -9:05 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin What about Ender's Game? Coming out in the fall. Not exactly MG, but close. #mglitchat -9:06 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti Nim's Island, Wimpy Kid, Coraline, How to Train Your Dragon, and Tale of Despereaux come to mind as recent films. #mglitchat -9:06 PM May 23rd, 2013
PBWorkshop Multi-tasking, but had to be here for this one! #mglitchat -9:06 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @JoanneLevy #mglitchat was really fun. -9:06 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis Does Shrek count? #mglitchat -9:07 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler Only one I've ever really liked: Tuck Everlasting. #mglitchat -9:07 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin LOVE Tale of Despereaux...forgot about that one. #mglitchat -9:07 PM May 23rd, 2013
FTBradleyAuthor How to eat fried worms comes to mind. Hoot too, I think? Searching memory banks... #mglitchat -9:07 PM May 23rd, 2013
PBWorkshop Bridge to Terabithia, Freaky Friday (Going old school on ya' here) #mglitchat -9:07 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @LalaleighJ #mglitchat no. Inkheart wasn't that good. -9:07 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis Flipped #mglitchat -9:07 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin James and the Giant Peach. And I love A Wrinkle in Time. It's not as good as the book, but nothing ever is... #mglitchat -9:08 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti I always liked the Return to Oz movie. My mom didn't like it and thought it was too dark, but I liked that about it. #mglitchat -9:08 PM May 23rd, 2013
FTBradleyAuthor @kristineasselin Enders Game looks cool. Is it me, or are those YA/MG straddlers more MG as movies? #mglitchat -9:08 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin Anne of Green Gables? LOVED those mini-series on PBS...but maybe that's not exactly MG either... #mglitchat -9:08 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ Inkheart but i think that is upper MG or YA especially the 2-3. #Mglitchat -9:08 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @KDuBayGillis #mglitchat I cried at Winn Dixie. And Bridge to Terabithia made me bawl -9:08 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I guess...and plain old Wizard of Oz. #mglitchat -9:09 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin @FTBradleyAuthor Yeah...It's hard I think. Ender's like 6 when the books starts...might be hard to find an actor that age. #mglitchat -9:09 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @rachelgrinti loved the book Nim's Island. Not movie so much. #mglitchat -9:10 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ @rachelnseigel totally changed Inkheart. We are usually disappointed with movies from books. #Mglitchat -9:10 PM May 23rd, 2013
JoanneLevy @KristineAsselin I think of Anne OGG as MG. Loved that miniseries, too. #mglitchat -9:10 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin Biggest pet peeve about Percy Jackson was the age of the MC. He's like 12 in the book...movie MC was driving. BIG difference. #mglitchat -9:10 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ @rachelnseigel I can't watch Bridge to Terabithia. No way. #Mglitchat -9:10 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @rachelgrinti #mglitchat did I read Graveyard Book is coming? -9:10 PM May 23rd, 2013
JoanneLevy @KDuBayGillis I think Shrek was a book...Love it. And Shrek 2 (maybe even more than #1) #mglitchat -9:11 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ @rachelnseigel did you see The Thief Lord? Not good either. #Mglitchat -9:11 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis I thought Holes movie did a pretty good job staying true to the book, given all the plots. #mglitchat -9:11 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti So, War Horse is another recent film based on MG (by Michael Morpurgo) but film seems aimed at adults. Any others like that? #mglitchat -9:11 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @dianezahler #mglitchat loved that one too. -9:11 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin My FAVE book to movie is The Last Unicorn. Book isn't exactly middle grade, but totally appropriate. #mglitchat -9:11 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti @rachelnseigel Yeah, the Nim's Island movie didn't really work for me. #mglitchat -9:11 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @FTBradleyAuthor #mglitchat both. Yes -9:12 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ The School for Good and Evil just signed a movie deal. #Mglitchat -9:12 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @rachelgrinti Not MG, but remember the Where the Wild Things Are movie? Totally more for adults than kids. #mglitchat -9:12 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel #mglitchat generally is it easier to adapt mg to screen than YA? -9:12 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti @JoanneLevy Yes! Shrek is a picture book by William Steig. #mglitchat -9:12 PM May 23rd, 2013
FTBradleyAuthor @rachelgrinti JUMPER seemed YA, but book felt MG. Very unlike the book #mglitchat -9:13 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @rachelgrinti Funny to think of PBs to movies. #mglitchat -9:13 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @dianezahler I love the Gene Wilder version as a movie. Didn't like Tim Burton adaptation. #mglitchat -9:14 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti @KDuBayGillis That's true! That one is aimed at lifelong fans, too. I don't think as many people know War Horse is a book first #mglitchat -9:15 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler @KDuBayGillis: @rachelgrinti A PB adaptation has to have more for adults than a MG does b/c the parents are definitely there. #mglitchat -9:15 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin What about Jumanji? PB to movie. #mglitchat -9:15 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @LalaleighJ I don't think I did. Must have come and gone fast. #mglitchat -9:15 PM May 23rd, 2013
khulick My favorite movie as a kid! RT @KristineAsselin: My FAVE book to movie is The Last Unicorn #mglitchat -9:16 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin Me too. RT @rachelnseigel: @dianezahler I love the Gene Wilder version as a movie. Didnt like Tim Burton adaptation. #mglitchat -9:16 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ @KristineAsselin and Zurthura was too. #Mglitchat -9:16 PM May 23rd, 2013
LiteraryAsylum Just movies? #mglitchat I would love to add Goosebumps to the convo as that has had some really fun book to small screen adaps. -9:16 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @KristineAsselin Exactly. Polar Express too. And they are doing a Go The F' to Sleep movie. Crazy! #mglitchat -9:16 PM May 23rd, 2013
JoanneLevy @rachelnseigel The Tim Burton one was too weird. Johnny Depp was creepy. And I loves me Johnny Depp. #mglitchat -9:16 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @rachelgrinti #mglitchat I loved Neverending story which as a book is odd category. (Also fave) -9:17 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ @rachelnseigel we found it at the library. They changed too much. We had listened on cd and LOVED the book. We love Funke. #Mglitchat -9:17 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti @dianezahler True. And the Wild Things movie was also too scary for a lot of kids, so I don't know they were the audience at all #mglitchat -9:17 PM May 23rd, 2013
LiteraryAsylum The great Halloween Tree animated movie was cool. Did a decent job of adapting a book. #mglitchat -9:17 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @dianezahler Good point. I also think there's a lot of embellishment in the PB to movie dynamic b/c of shorter source material. #mglitchat -9:17 PM May 23rd, 2013
helainebecker @JoanneLevy @rachelnseigel #mglitchat ditto -9:18 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti @LiteraryAsylum We can totally talk about TV adaptations too! The Goosebumps DVDs are still popular at the library. #mglitchat -9:18 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler @rachelnseigel I loved the Gene Wilder b/c I love Gene Wilder but it missed the darkness.Might like the Burton more,haven't seen. #mglitchat -9:18 PM May 23rd, 2013
FTBradleyAuthor I'm learning about all these movies that I didn't know were books first, wow... #mglitchat -9:18 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ @rachelgrinti WTWTA made me nauseous. I did not like that movie at all. Loved the animation, but my whole family hated it #Mglitchat -9:18 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis I wonder how many of these MG books to movies had the authors involved in the script adaptation process. #mglitchat -9:18 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin A book like Jumanji w/ less than 100ish words...they embellish a lot. Make up some back story. Lorax too. #mglitchat -9:18 PM May 23rd, 2013
LiteraryAsylum @KristineAsselin Zathura has been my favorite Van Allsburg PB movie. #mglitchat Jumanji should have been better. -9:19 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti Has anyone seen the new Borrowers adaptation? The Secret World of Arietty #mglitchat -9:19 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ @dianezahler the original WW was made to sell candy bars. I saw a film about it. It is my fave. #Mglitchat -9:19 PM May 23rd, 2013
jenniferlmalone @KristineAsselin Polar Express had even less, I think. #MGlitchat -9:19 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @rachelgrinti I started to watch. Wasn't a huge fan. #mglitchat -9:19 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @KDuBayGillis @rachelgrinti how many Seuss books r movies now? 4? Lorax and Horton were sweet #mglitchat -9:19 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin The book really is dark. :) RT @dianezahler: @rachelnseigel I loved the Gene Wilder b/c I love Gene but it missed the darkness. #mglitchat -9:20 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler @LalaleighJ But so not true to the tone of the book. And that's important! #mglitchat -9:20 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin Yes, true. So interesting as a screenwriter to add. RT @jenniferlmalone: @KristineAsselin Polar Express had even less, I think. #mglitchat -9:20 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti @KDuBayGillis I wasn't either. It was very pretty, but... something about it didn't quite work for me. #mglitchat -9:20 PM May 23rd, 2013
LeighStatham When I read it as a kid it didn't strike me as dark at all, just kooky #mglitchat @KristineAsselin @dianezahler @rachelnseigel -9:21 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin It's cute. Well done, I think. RT @rachelgrinti: Has anyone seen the new Borrowers adaptation? The Secret World of Arietty #mglitchat -9:21 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis Surprised HP books/movies haven't dominated the chat. : ) But we're only 20 mins in. Ha! #mglitchat -9:21 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @KristineAsselin @dianezahler I agree- they have to be judged as separate entities- but felt that way about Gone with the Wind 2. #mglitchat -9:21 PM May 23rd, 2013
LiteraryAsylum Hugo Cabret may be one of my top favorite MG movies. #mglitchat -9:21 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti So what do you all look for in a well done adaptation? Do you focus on faithfulness to the source? Cinematic awesomeness? #mglitchat -9:21 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @KDuBayGillis #mglitchat some people criticized them for being too faithful to the books, which is interesting. -9:21 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ @dianezahler I like both. But feel nostalgic for the original. But, then there is Depp so... #Mglitchat -9:21 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler @rachelnseigel Wait there's a GWTW 2? #mglitchat -9:21 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin What about the Guardians? William Joyce--those books came first, right? He was also the screenwriter, I think. #mglitchat -9:22 PM May 23rd, 2013
MLConklin Totally stalking the #mglitchat this evening. Good stuff! -9:22 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @rachelgrinti #mglitchat I want the movie to capture the spirit of the book- which I felt like "Charlotte's Web" did very well. -9:22 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @LiteraryAsylum YES. LOVED that movie. Loved. #mglitchat -9:22 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti Is it enough for you if the movie strikes the right tone even if changes have to be made for film if it's a good movie? #mglitchat -9:22 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @KDuBayGillis @LiteraryAsylum That was so clearly a loving treatment of the book #mglitchat -9:22 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler @rachelgrinti Faithful at least to tone and intention. Cinematic awesomeness is always good. #mglitchat -9:22 PM May 23rd, 2013
JoanneLevy @KDuBayGillis I think I read that Beverly Cleary was not happy about the Ramona movie. #mglitchat -9:22 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ I think that you have to look at the book Nd the movie as separate experiences, especially the HP books. Both excellent. #Mglitchat -9:23 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @rachelnseigel Confession...have not read or watched yet. Saving to experience with my kiddos who aren't quite old enough yet. #mglitchat -9:23 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin @rachelgrinti Changes have to be made...I think as long as the tone is faithful...it's all good. #mglitchat -9:23 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @dianezahler @rachelgrinti #mglitchat I want it to capture the spirit of the book. Not be a complete departure -9:23 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @JoanneLevy Really? Because I loved the movie. That's too bad. #mglitchat -9:23 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler @rachelgrinti You can't directly translate novels to film -- there have to be some changes. The requirements are different. #mglitchat -9:23 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis Has anyone seen Judy Blume's TIGER EYES movie yet? Brand new!!! #mglitchat -9:23 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @JoanneLevy @KDuBayGillis #mglitchat I thought it was pretty decent. They aged the kids, but wasn't bad. -9:24 PM May 23rd, 2013
JoanneLevy @rachelgrinti I'm really nostalgic about my childhood reads. I want them to be very faithful to the book. #mglitchat -9:24 PM May 23rd, 2013
jenniferlmalone @KristineAsselin Interesting panel @bostonbookfest this fall on this. Lemony Snickets, Rachel Cohn, others weighing in about #mglitchat 1/2 -9:24 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @KDuBayGillis #mglitchat fair enough. I think they'll hold up till the kids r old enough! ;-) First movie is pretty innocent. -9:24 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti @dianezahler I agree, but have met many MG-age kids who are very upset with any deviations! #mglitchat -9:24 PM May 23rd, 2013
jenniferlmalone @KristineAsselin 2/2 seeing their work adapted for screen. Very mixed responses. Lemony: not so much. Rachel liked. #mglitchat -9:25 PM May 23rd, 2013
Mike_Jung Hey all. Can't stay long, but some of my fave movie adaptations are A Little Princess, Coraline, & HP3. #Mglitchat -9:25 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf Made it! #MGLitChat -9:25 PM May 23rd, 2013
LeighStatham @Mike_Jung Yes! Coraline. #mglitchat -9:25 PM May 23rd, 2013
LiteraryAsylum Unfortunately, studios always feel that they have to age up the MG characters to reach a bigger audience. #mglitchat -9:26 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis Was Nanny McPhee a book before it was a movie? I've only seen the movies, not read the books. #mglitchat -9:26 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @Mike_Jung #Mglitchat the most recent Little Princess I assume? Or do you mean the Shirley Temple one? -9:26 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin @Mike_Jung HP3 is my fave of that series, too. #mglitchat -9:26 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf @Mike_Jung Ditto on HP3, the best of the lot! #MGLitChat -9:26 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @Mike_Jung I haven't seen Coraline yet. We own, but my kids are terrified of it! #mglitchat -9:26 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin @KDuBayGillis I think it was. #mglitchat -9:26 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler You have to balance fidelity to the spirit of the text w/a recognition of the fundamental differences btween film/written word. #mglitchat -9:26 PM May 23rd, 2013
LiteraryAsylum Studios need to have a little more faith in the core readership of the books to see they will have an audience. #mglitchat -9:26 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @KDuBayGillis #mglitchat the books r called "Nurse Matilda" in Britain. They're a lot like "Mary Poppins" (also a book to film) -9:26 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler @rachelgrinti They're such sticklers. #mglitchat -9:27 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf HP3 is an interesting case. It's faithful to the book in tone though not necessarily in every detail. #MGLitChat -9:27 PM May 23rd, 2013
NatalieLorenzi Can't stay long, but our whole family loved the movie FLIPPED from Wendelin Van Draanen. #mglitchat -9:27 PM May 23rd, 2013
Mike_Jung @AniProf Far & away the best! #mglitchat -9:27 PM May 23rd, 2013
Danaalisonlevy @JoanneLevy @rachelnseigel Preach. #mglitchat -9:27 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @rachelnseigel Yes! Mary Poppins! Just read that Travers hated the movie version. #mglitchat -9:27 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin My comment about Rise of the Guardians got lost, I think. One of my faves last year. William Joyce was author AND screenwriter. #mglitchat -9:28 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf @KDuBayGillis Disney will do it every time! #MGLitChat -9:28 PM May 23rd, 2013
Mike_Jung @KristineAsselin It did the best job of capturing the spirit of the book. #mglitchat -9:28 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @AniProf But it makes me sad b/c I love the movie version so. #mglitchat -9:29 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf How about the film adaptation of the Dahl book, Witches? #MGLitChat -9:29 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin Filmmakers can NEVER include every detail of a book. I think as long as tone and feeling are captured, it's a win. #mglitchat -9:29 PM May 23rd, 2013
Mike_Jung @KDuBayGillis really, really good. Henry Selick, yanno. #mglitchat -9:29 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @KDuBayGillis I could see why, though I love the movie! #mglitchat -9:29 PM May 23rd, 2013
Danaalisonlevy What about Hugo Cabret? I thought that was a success story of a unique book to a wonderful movie #mglitchat -9:29 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti @Mike_Jung HP3 is my favorite of the Harry Potter films, too. #mglitchat -9:29 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin RT @Danaalisonlevy: What about Hugo Cabret? I thought that was a success story of a unique book to a wonderful movie #mglitchat -9:30 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf And let's not talk about Polar Express. #MGLitChat -9:30 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @Mike_Jung I'll have to watch without them. Wouldn't be the first time. #mglitchat -9:30 PM May 23rd, 2013
Danaalisonlevy Also HI! Sorry to jump in late! #mglitchat -9:30 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @AniProf #mglitchat that was awful -9:30 PM May 23rd, 2013
LiteraryAsylum They should have made a series of books off Goonies the movie - now that would have been cool! #mglitchat -9:30 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin RT @rachelnseigel: @KristineAsselin #mglitchat really interesting concept- the cross platform publishing of picture books and novels. -9:30 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @Danaalisonlevy HUGO! Loved. #mglitchat -9:30 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ Anyone read or see City of Ember? My son and I were talking today about why the 2nd book wouldn't make a good movie. #Mglitchat -9:30 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti @AniProf I think The Witches is well done. I liked both the book and film. #mglitchat -9:30 PM May 23rd, 2013
Mike_Jung @rachelnseigel I thought it went a touch overboard near the end, but Cuaron created an all-encompassing storybook atmosphere. #mglitchat -9:30 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @LiteraryAsylum Fan Fiction....it isn't too late....ha. #mglitchat -9:31 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @LalaleighJ #mglitchat I've read it and seen it. A lot of changes from the book, but not a horrible movie. I think it was just forgettable -9:31 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler @Danaalisonlevy Actually I kind of loved Hugo. But didn't read the book beforehand. That can make it easier to love the film. #mglitchat -9:31 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf @rachelgrinti But the endings, for Witches, are so different. #MGLitChat -9:31 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti @LalaleighJ What did you decide? Curious what people see as a sign of a book that would make a good film! #mglitchat -9:31 PM May 23rd, 2013
Mike_Jung @rachelgrinti Definitely my favorite. The most subtly spooky one, with the most magical vibe. #mglitchat -9:31 PM May 23rd, 2013
Danaalisonlevy @KDuBayGillis me too! And I adored the book so much I was worried but the movie brought all new aspects to life #mglitchat -9:31 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis Holes, people, Holes. Did no one love the movie as much as I did? Obvs doesn't compare to book, but I liked it. #mglitchat -9:32 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin I'd love to see Artemis Fowl as a movie...anyone know if it's in the works? #mglitchat -9:32 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti @AniProf They are, and I noticed, but... eh. Didn't bother me too much, though I did prefer the book's ending. #mglitchat -9:32 PM May 23rd, 2013
edithcohn @NatalieLorenzi OMG I love FLIPPED! I didn't know there was a movie! #mglitchat -9:32 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @KristineAsselin #mglitchat was supposed to be in the works years ago, but I think it might have fizzled. -9:32 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler @KDuBayGillis Okay, did love Holes too. But again, read the book after. Hmmm. #mglitchat -9:32 PM May 23rd, 2013
Mike_Jung @KDuBayGillis It IS spooky, and they threw in a new character I thought was unnecessary, but still, SO good. #mglitchat -9:32 PM May 23rd, 2013
LiteraryAsylum @KDuBayGillis That's right! I'd read a whole gob of Goonies books. #mglitchat -9:32 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @edithcohn @NatalieLorenzi #mglitchat came out a few years ago. Was pretty good. -9:32 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti @KDuBayGillis I liked it! #mglitchat -9:32 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin @rachelgrinti I think it has to have enough action. Physical and tangible. Hard to translate more cerebral books into film. #mglitchat -9:32 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf Books with solid storylines, and little or no interior dialogue, often fair well, IMHO. #MGLitChat -9:32 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @KristineAsselin Not sure, but raises a great question...which books we'd like to see made into a flick. #mglitchat -9:33 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf @rachelgrinti Agreed! #MGLitChat -9:33 PM May 23rd, 2013
FTBradleyAuthor @kdubaygillis I loved that movie (HOLES). Good cast, I think #mglitchat -9:33 PM May 23rd, 2013
Danaalisonlevy Ideally a movie adds something new - it can never BE a book, so it needs to offer an element that enhances the story in a new way #mglitchat -9:33 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ @rachelgrinti the second book was more everyday in nature. Great story but wouldn't play out on the big screen. Very internal. #Mglitchat -9:33 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @KDuBayGillis @KristineAsselin #mglitchat With the popularity of Wimpy Kid, I wonder if now would b the right time for Fudge books? -9:33 PM May 23rd, 2013
Mike_Jung @KDuBayGillis I liked HOLES a lot! Very well done. #mglitchat -9:33 PM May 23rd, 2013
FTBradleyAuthor True: RT @aniprof: Books with solid storylines, and little or no interior dialogue, often fair well, IMHO. #MGLitChat -9:33 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler I think it's much harder to love a film made from a book you've loved, b/c it's so fully imagined and reality can't match. #mglitchat -9:34 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel #mglitchat I'd like to see someone do a good version of "Phantom Tollbooth" -9:34 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis I find it hard to believe that Judy Blume's books were never made into movies until now. #mglitchat -9:34 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @dianezahler #mglitchat very true! -9:34 PM May 23rd, 2013
Mike_Jung Gotta run, y'all. Good topic! #mglitchat -9:34 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @rachelnseigel OMG...yes! Would be so fun!!!! Phantom Tollbooth. Animated?? #mglitchat -9:34 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf @rachelnseigel Phantom Tollbooth was filmed many, many years ago. #MGLitChat -9:34 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin I HATE "novelized" movies...it never works. Often see Disney try this. the "junior" novelization...or something. #mglitchat -9:35 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @Mike_Jung Bye! Thanks for stopping in! #mglitchat -9:35 PM May 23rd, 2013
Danaalisonlevy @AniProf Yes. When the story really needs interior monologue to understand what's happening its hard to bring it to the screen #mglitchat -9:35 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler @rachelnseigel All that wordplay -- how could it be done? It would be like making a movie of The Wonderful O. #mglitchat -9:35 PM May 23rd, 2013
JoanneLevy @dianezahler I've seen two of the Narnia films and was very impressed. I was afraid to watch, but they were very faithful. #mglitchat -9:35 PM May 23rd, 2013

rachelnseigel @dianezahler #mglitchat I think a good screenwriter could capture it's spirit. -9:36 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ @dianezahler @AniProf that what I explained to my son. You can't show thoughts well. #Mglitchat -9:36 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler @JoanneLevy I didn't like them at all. #mglitchat -9:36 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis I think When You Reach Me would be so great as a potential movie. #mglitchat -9:36 PM May 23rd, 2013
LiteraryAsylum @KristineAsselin No current Artemis Fowl in development. Someone needs to jump on that. #mglitchat -9:36 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf The Golden Compass, as a movie was ... Ugh! #MGLitChat -9:36 PM May 23rd, 2013
NatalieLorenzi @edithcohn It's definitely a lovely, feel-good flick for MG audience (& their parents!). :-) #mglitchat -9:36 PM May 23rd, 2013
RosanneParry @LiteraryAsylum I agree. The movie enriched the story rather than robbing from it. #mglitchat -9:36 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @LiteraryAsylum @KristineAsselin #mglitchat apparently it's in the writing stage. -9:37 PM May 23rd, 2013
SafiyyahKathimi I liked Hoot. #mglitchat -9:37 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin @KDuBayGillis Yes! When You reach me would be awesome. #mglitchat -9:37 PM May 23rd, 2013
LiteraryAsylum @rachelnseigel @KDuBayGillis @KristineAsselin I would love to see a SuperFudge book to movie. #mglitchat -9:37 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin @rachelnseigel @LiteraryAsylum Good to know! Thank you! #mglitchat -9:37 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel #Mglitchat The movie of Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life by Wendy Mass was very sweet. #mglitchat -9:37 PM May 23rd, 2013
FTBradleyAuthor Me too :-) RT @safiyyahkathimi: I liked Hoot. #mglitchat -9:37 PM May 23rd, 2013
SafiyyahKathimi LOVED Emma Thompson's Nanny McPhee. #mglitchat -9:38 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler @AniProf Ooo, it's a musical... #mglitchat -9:38 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ Percy Jackson was disappointing. That could have been amazing. #Mglitchat -9:38 PM May 23rd, 2013
FTBradleyAuthor I have two MGers; often find that movie adaptions that adults like fall flat w/ them #mglitchat -9:39 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @SafiyyahKathimi I'm a fan of the Nanny McPhee movies, but have never read the books. Have you read and seen? #mglitchat -9:39 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti @LalaleighJ Thanks! I haven't read the second book -- I think the need for action depends a lot on the book's genre, too. #mglitchat -9:39 PM May 23rd, 2013
LiteraryAsylum Whoa! There was a FUDGE series in 1995 by ABC. Did anyone see that? #mglitchat -9:39 PM May 23rd, 2013
Danaalisonlevy “@LalaleighJ: Percy Jackson was disappointing. That could have been amazing. #Mglitchat” yes this!! -9:39 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin @LalaleighJ Yes. And pet peeve of mine was aging the characters by 4 or 5 years. #mglitchat -9:40 PM May 23rd, 2013
RosanneParry @JoanneLevy @dianezahler I thought the Narnia movies were a tad combat heavy, but beautiful in their design. #mglitchat -9:40 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler @FTBradleyAuthor Which in particular didn't they like? #mglitchat -9:40 PM May 23rd, 2013
SafiyyahKathimi @LalaleighJ Re: PERCY JACKSON. I know, right?? And they moved up the ages of all the characters for no explicable reason. :( #mglitchat -9:40 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf How about Goosebumps on TV? #MGLitChat -9:40 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ @KristineAsselin ours too. We couldn't get past it. #Mglitchat -9:40 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @AniProf I remember that- and there was a BSC movie. Or was it for TV only? #mglitchat -9:41 PM May 23rd, 2013
DanielNayeri Has anyone mentioned HOLES? Fantastic adaptation. #Mglitchat -9:41 PM May 23rd, 2013
SafiyyahKathimi @KristineAsselin you beat me to this comment :) #mglitchat -9:41 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf @SafiyyahKathimi Characters might be aged because actors young enough to play the parts are ... too young. #MGLitChat -9:41 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin That's the one thing w/ the HP movies...the characters and setting were very true to the books. #mglitchat -9:41 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @DanielNayeri YES! Been cheerleading for HOLES all night. Loved both the book and the movie. #mglitchat -9:41 PM May 23rd, 2013
dianezahler @RosanneParry: @JoanneLevy They did look great. I just had a mental image, and they didn't live up to it. #mglitchat -9:41 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf @rachelnseigel Goosebumps was on ABC, I think. #MGLitChat -9:41 PM May 23rd, 2013
FTBradleyAuthor @safiyyahkathimi Percy needed transportation to Vegas, so they became older :-) #mglitchat -9:41 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @SafiyyahKathimi @KristineAsselin #mglitchat it speaks to a fear on the part of producers that they need teenaged characters 2 get audience -9:41 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ @KDuBayGillis I didn't read Holes, but liked the movie. #Mglitchat -9:42 PM May 23rd, 2013
JoanneLevy @RosanneParry I don't remember thinking that, but it's been a while since I watched. @dianezahler #mglitchat -9:42 PM May 23rd, 2013
SafiyyahKathimi @KDuBayGillisThe Nurse Matilda books were the source material for Nanny McPhee, but I never read them :/ #mglitchat -9:42 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf @KristineAsselin With HP, the books are more about people than magical effects. Easier to script. #MGLitChat -9:42 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin @FTBradleyAuthor LOL. Did they take the bus in the book? Or fly. Can't remember. #mglitchat -9:42 PM May 23rd, 2013
Danaalisonlevy @KristineAsselin agree. Those movies could never match the books but the added a visual to the settings that rocked #mglitchat -9:43 PM May 23rd, 2013
SafiyyahKathimi @FTBradleyAuthor That's a good explanation. But the Vegas scene really pushed MG borders with sexualizing all the waitresses :( #mglitchat -9:43 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf Though not a movie, and word on the Matilda musical? #MGLitChat -9:43 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin I think I heard that the Peter and the Starcatchers books were being made into film? Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. Disney. #mglitchat -9:43 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis I also think The Apothecary could be a really cool movie adaptation. #mglitchat -9:44 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf "and" = "any" #MGLitChat -9:44 PM May 23rd, 2013
LiteraryAsylum I actually forgot Matilda! Gaaah. I loved what Danny DeVito did with that movie. #mglitchat Still one of my top faves. -9:44 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @AniProf Other than the fact that I'd give anything to go to NYC to see it??? Sigh. #matildathemusical #mglitchat -9:44 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ RT @KristineAsselin: Peter and the Starcatchers books were being made into film. Really? Excellent! #Mglitchat -9:44 PM May 23rd, 2013
LaurelSnyder Oh! Oh! I forgot #mglitchat -9:45 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis Actually, that's another fun topic...MG on the stage. Someone in PA just adapted Walk Two Moons for the stage. #mglitchat -9:45 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelgrinti @AniProf I think they could have found younger actors than they did. Many playing the teens were mid-20s. Which does happen a lot #mglitchat -9:45 PM May 23rd, 2013
RosanneParry Having a conversation about a locally made movie for Heart of a Shepherd. Fingers crossed that it will work out. #mglitchat -9:45 PM May 23rd, 2013
SafiyyahKathimi Also sad that the INKHEART film was done well enough to garner sequels :( #mglitchat -9:45 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @LiteraryAsylum Matilda the movie is my 5 year old's fave. We've seen a gazillion times. Love it. #mglitchat -9:45 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin @FTBradleyAuthor Yes, I think you're right. Feeling the need to capture the teen audience as more $$ than tweens. #mglitchat -9:45 PM May 23rd, 2013
Danaalisonlevy @AniProf AMAZING per my kids who saw it in LON. I'm seeing it next weekend! Book by @timminchin with totally Dahl-worthy lyrics. #mglitchat -9:46 PM May 23rd, 2013
LiteraryAsylum @KristineAsselin Gary Ross (Hunger Games director) is attached to direct the Peter and Starchasers film. Still in script stages. #mglitchat -9:46 PM May 23rd, 2013

KristineAsselin Word from my Disney expert! Whoo-Hoo! RT @doc_oneill: Yup. Gary Ross to direct last I knew. Filming hoped to start this year. #mglitchat -9:46 PM May 23rd, 2013

rachelnseigel @AniProf #mglitchat it wasn't gr8. -9:46 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ @SafiyyahKathimi they changed Inkheart too much. She hadn't gone into their world yet. We LOVED those books. Inkdeath very dark. #Mglitchat -9:46 PM May 23rd, 2013
SafiyyahKathimi @AniProf You mean besides how depressingly worse it was than the books and thus will have no sequels? #mglitchat -9:47 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin @doc_oneill Thanks! Great info--chatting tonight about MG books being made into movies on #mglitchat -9:47 PM May 23rd, 2013

SafiyyahKathimi Speaking of Cornelia Funke, I wish they'd make a film of DRAGONRIDER :) #mglitchat -9:48 PM May 23rd, 2013
LaurelSnyder I'd like a movie of The Girl WHo Could Fly. #mglitchat -9:49 PM May 23rd, 2013

KristineAsselin @SafiyyahKathimi LOL. We love Igraine the Brave--would also make a great movie. #mglitchat -9:49 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf How about movies you WISHED they make, but probably won't because it would be too hard to adapt? #MGLitChat -9:49 PM May 23rd, 2013
SafiyyahKathimi @LalaleighJ INKDEATH was dark. I had to edit on the spot when reading aloud to kiddo. #mglitchat -9:49 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis Was Westing Game ever made into a movie? Also, what about Nancy Drew movie? #mglitchat -9:49 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ @SafiyyahKathimi YES! Dragonrider. We listened to that one too with Brandon Fraser #Mglitchat -9:49 PM May 23rd, 2013
SafiyyahKathimi @Danaalisonlevy I'll have to check out the audiobook! #mglitchat -9:49 PM May 23rd, 2013
SafiyyahKathimi @KristineAsselin Yes! What a great character! #mglitchat -9:49 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin @AniProf I've been dreaming of Ender's Game for 20 years...and it's finally coming out in the fall/winter. I think. #mglitchat -9:50 PM May 23rd, 2013
AniProf @KDuBayGillis Nancy Drew was a short lived TV series. #MGLitChat -9:50 PM May 23rd, 2013
LalaleighJ @SafiyyahKathimi we listened to Inkdeath and I cringed. My son was too young but had to hear the end. Gruesome. he is squeamish. #Mglitchat -9:50 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @AniProf I think The Only Ones by Aaron Stormer would make for a cool movie, but could prove challenging. #mglitchat -9:50 PM May 23rd, 2013
SafiyyahKathimi Good question! RT @AniProf: How about movies you WISHED they make, but probably wont because it would be too hard to adapt? #mglitchat -9:50 PM May 23rd, 2013

Danaalisonlevy @SafiyyahKathimi Definitely one of the best we've listened too. #mglitchat -9:50 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis @AniProf There was a Nancy Drew movie with Emma Roberts. Thought it was cute. #mglitchat -9:51 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin There was a Nancy Drew movie--it was sort of tongue in cheek. She had a weird fetish of dressing from the 60s. #mglitchat -9:51 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel #mglitchat not exactly MG, but I'm sort of excited to c what they do with "The Giver". -9:51 PM May 23rd, 2013

AniProf I truly hope they don't screw up Ender's Game. #MGLitChat -9:51 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis Also, how would it ever be possible to make THE ONE AND ONLY IVAN into a movie and keep it the heart? Animated, I suppose. #mglitchat -9:52 PM May 23rd, 2013
KristineAsselin @rachelnseigel I'd call The Giver very definitely MG. :) #mglitchat -9:52 PM May 23rd, 2013
rachelnseigel @KDuBayGillis #mglitchat I don't know. -9:52 PM May 23rd, 2013

Danaalisonlevy @dianezahler about a cat??! If so I was weirdly obsessed too! #mglitchat -9:53 PM May 23rd, 2013

JoanneLevy @KDuBayGillis That would be tough. The voice is so much a huge part of Ivan's charm. #mglitchat -9:53 PM May 23rd, 2013
KDuBayGillis I don't think IVAN could work as a movie. I worry they couldn't do it justice. #mglitchat -9:53 PM May 23rd, 2013
