Every other book I have ever loved is suddenly being turned into a movie and it's starting to creep me out. And terrify me.
Narnia, came out fantastic. A few gripes but overall it was wonderful.
Terebithia, despite the stupidity of the trailers, and the ridiculous costuming, was gorgeous, and true to the story.
Nancy Drew - I've seen the previews and I want to scream at someone. Yes I'm guilty of having read the 90s updated versions of her stories, so MAYBE the movie's on the right track, but she's like 8 and I'm like wtf no she is not a Disney Channel show.
NOW, I see a terrifying trailer for The Dark is Rising, which is one of THE most AMAZING series I have ever, ever read, it.. there's such depth and such awe in those books. And the trailer shows cute little boy using powers to fling his little brother around the house while he giggles and is a lil prankster.
I am PRAYING it's the same mindset behind that trailer as the Terebithia one, and that it in no way relates to the feel of the film. (I've been finding that more and more frequently now, so I'm trying my darndest to ignore trailers, because they tend to be so far off case it's ridiculous.)
TODAY,
StumbleUpon (which, btw, I love - there's a firefox plug-in for it) led me to a movie trailer site, and what do I find but a trailer for The Golden Compass! Given the casting and the look of the stills (have yet to watch the trailer), I have hope, but from what I remember (granted it's been awhile), there are WAY too many complicated aspects to it. It's going to be truncated and abbreviated and things not explained...
