From Dune to GameOfThrones, these titles prove that any book is adaptable.
We have all heard the sentiment, “that book is unadaptable.” What makes a book hard to adapt is a nuanced question, but there are two obvious reasons a book or series could be considered "unadaptable": scope and controversial subject matter. Books, especially books that are a part of a series, can have thousands of pages to tell their stories while movies only get a couple of hours and TV shows a couple of seasons.
A Clockwork Orange Anthony Burgess’ 1962 novel seemed like it would be too violent to work on the big screen. The story follows Alex a leader of a violent gang of "Droogs," through their multiple assaults of various people. After getting caught at the scene of one of his crimes, Alex undergoes an experiment that is said to suppress violent behavior.
No Country for Old Men The seemingly unfocused structure of No Country for Old Men made it seem like it wouldn’t work on the big screen, but in the hands of the Coen brothers the story was able to flourish. No Country for Old Men tells the story of Anton Chigurh and his hunt for a cowboy who stumbled upon two million dollars of the drug cartel's money. No Country for Old Men doesn’t limit itself to only one perspective, making it a unique challenge for a two-hour movie.
