Re: Should 'Raven's Peak' be made as a movie?
Although, this is not one I would watch. It's not because it couldn't be a good movie but that I don't enjoy watching horror ones. Reading and watching aren't the same things to me and I know I can't handle seeing horror.

make an unique movie trailer, and I think the book should be made into a movie.

Exactly! Many times I don't enjoy the movies after I read the book because a lot of the important stuff would have been cut out.AYISHA_ASH wrote:Books must be made into movies only if they don't lose the essence of the story.

You have a very good point. We have already seen how movies came out different from the novels they were adapted from. I do hope that if this will be made into a movie, they will stick to the very core of the story and its characters.kina wrote:It should be a movie only if directors and producers who honestly care about the story being genuinely translated to the screen. It worries me especially since the main characters (Haatim and Abigail) are not white at all, and stories like that tend to be changed in favor of Hollywood prejudice often. If a good director and producer who came along respects all that, I'd gladly like to see it be made into a movie!
