Eat, Pray, Love movie adaptation coming soon!

Eat, Pray, Love
August 13th, 2010
Book by: Elizabeth Gilbert

Yes, I am aware that this movie isn't coming SOON. But I know a lot of people like this book and some people are interested in this, so I don't know. Should I or should I not?

From Wikipeidia (or what I could find):
After trying and failing to become pregnant, a woman realizes she is not getting what she wants out of life, and, after a painful divorce, sets on a journey across the world.

I don't find Julia Roberts WONDERFUL butI've been wondering about the book for a while. A To See? Possibly. What do you think?

Beastly coming to theaters soon!

Beastly.
Book by: Alex Flinn
Coming July 30th, 2010


From the Facebook fan page:

Kyle Kingson (Alex Pettyfer) has it all – looks, intelligence, wealth and opportunity – and a wicked cruel streak. Prone to mocking and humiliating “aggressively unattractive” classmates, he zeroes in on Goth classmate Kendra, inviting her to the school’s extravagant environmental bash. Kendra accepts, and, true to form, Kyle blows her off in a particularly savage fashion. She retaliates by casting a spell that physically transforms him into everything he despises. Enraged by his horrible and unrecognizable appearance he confronts Kendra and learns that the only solution to the curse is to find someone that will love him as he is – a task he considers impossible.

Repulsed by his appearance, Kyle’s callous father banishes him to Brooklyn with a sympathetic housekeeper (LisaGay Hamilton) and blind tutor (Neil Patrick Harris). As Kyle ponders how to overcome the curse and get his old life back, he chances upon a drug addict in the act of killing a threatening dealer. Seizing the opportunity, Kyle promises the addict freedom and safety for his daughter Lindy (Vanessa Hudgens) if she will consent to live in Kyle’s Brooklyn home. Thus begins Kyle’s journey to discover true love in this hyper-modern retelling of the classic “Beauty and the Beast” story.

Vanessa Hudgens (“High School Musical”) and Alex Pettyfer (“Wild Child,” “Stormbreaker”) star in “Beastly” for CBS Films, the film division within CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS). Daniel Barnz (“Phoebe In Wonderland”) is directing the project which commenced principal photography in Montreal in mid-June 2009.

Susan Cartsonis (“No Reservations,” “What Women Want”) is producing through her company, Storefront Pictures. Roz Weisberg is co-producing. In addition to his role as director, Barnz wrote the screenplay, which is based on the Alex Flinn novel of the same name.
I've seen this book for a long time... maybe a sign for me to try it? Problem is, the movie has two VERY annoying and bad actresses, Vannessa Hudgens, who plays the "Beauty" of this movie and Mary-Kate Olsen who plays the "Witch." Ugh. Don't know how I feel about that kind of casting. But I must say, this book has been popping up everywhere and I like to read popular books, (sorry I can't help it...) just to see what all the hype is about. Plus it has been so long since I've read a YA novel that's based on a movie lately. A TO-SEE. Maybe...

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader comming soon!

Sorry for being late with this movie adaptation, but this makes me happy. I'm a fan of both movie and book (yes yes I have a thing with popular movie franchises besides Transformers). But still, I have been waiting on this one forever.

From IMBD synopsis:
Lucy and Edmund Pevensie return to Narnia with their cousin Eustace where they meet up with Prince Caspian for a trip across the sea aboard the royal ship The Dawn Treader. Along the way they encounter dragons, dwarves, merfolk, and a band of lost warriors before reaching the edge of the world.

Giving that I read this book a long time ago, I'm probably going to skip a book review but if I get my hands on this movie before it disappears into the Netflix world, (just like the New Moon movie did) I'll certainly go see this one. It'll no doubt be interesting, given a new director is directing this series.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid coming to theaters!

The book didn't attract me that much plus it looks stupid, But, here's for the fans of the book...

Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Book by: Jeff Kinney

From TheMovieInsider.com:
Meet the kid who made “wimpy” cool, in a family comedy based on the best-selling illustrated novel "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" by Jeff Kinney, the first in a series that has thus far sold 24 million copies.

A new movie adaptation coming soon!

To make things a bit more fun, I decided to introduce a new movie adaptation each week. And my first one is...

Dear John
Book by: Nicholas Sparks

From the Facebook Fan page:
Directed by Lasse Halström and based on the novel by best-selling author Nicholas Sparks, DEAR JOHN tells story of John Tyree (Channing Tatum), a young soldier home on leave, and Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried), the idealistic college student he falls in love with during her spring vacation. Over the next seven tumultuous years, the couple is separated by John’s increasingly dangerous deployments. While meeting only sporadically, they stay in touch by sending a continuous stream of love letters overseas--correspondence that eventually triggers fateful consequences. Coming February 5th!

I know, Nick Spark's novels are always guilty pleasures, but I find his writing competent. It's a book I've been planning on reading soon. Besides, I love Amanda Seyfried. Check back for a review really soon!
