Search found 1 match: John Steinbeck

I'd like to see a film adaptation of Jonathan Lethem's Motherless Brooklyn. There have been plans for Edward Norton to direct, write, and star in a film adaptation (which makes me extremely excited, because he's my favorite actor), but it seems like the project is on hold.

I also wouldn't mind seeing a new adaptation of John Steinbeck's East of Eden. I know many people are going to say: how can you remake that movie when James Dean was so good? Well for those who have read the great novel, they know that the 1950s film covered probably less than 1/3 of the story and left out on of the biggest characters in the novel (Lee). Supposedly, a new adaptation is scheduled to be directed by Tom Hooper (whose films I haven't seen), but other than that I haven't heard too much information. I hope the cast they pick is good though.

Other than that I can't think of too much more. I don't read as much as I used to because I have to read textbooks for College and after that I don't much feel like reading, but when I'm on break I'll probably read a novel or 2.
