In this episode, the guys get together in honor of the release of Gone Girl to discuss the art of the book adaptation and what that means in today’s Hollywood. What are some of the best examples of novel-to-screen adaptations? Some of the worst? And what do we hope one day makes it to the big screen?
Before diving into that feature discussion, Pat, Pete, and Justin discuss the rumor about Marvel splitting Avengers 3 into two movies, Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass being Bourne again and the insanity that is the announcement of a movie called Tetris. God help us all.
Trailers this week include Keanu Reeves in the horribly titled John Wick, Michael Mann’s Blackhat, Liam Neeson kicking ass again in Tak3n (or Taken 3 if you will) and the much-anticipated Paul Thomas Anderson film, Inherent Vice.
