Anthony Hopkins (left) and Emma Thompson are pitch perfect in the movie version of The Remains Of The Day – but the movie is a different thing altogether from the book.
It has been a week particularly focused on screen adaptations of acclaimed books.
Last weekend saw the premiere of the television show American Gods that is based on one of my favourite novels by Neil Gaiman; needless to say, I’m hooked. I’ve also just begun watching the TV adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, which is proving to be a chilling experience. And a few days ago, I heard – with a fair amount of scepticism – that L.M. Montgomery’s beloved Anne Of Green Gables is being adapted for a series on streaming service Netflix, albeit one that is supposed to explore a darker side of the story.
