Read it 1st – Coming Adaptations

Posted July 5, 2012 by Michael @ Knowledge Lost in Adaptations / 0 Comments

readit1stSince become a bibliophile I’ve tried to read the books before seeing the movie adaptation, but this is often difficult; there are so many books being made into movies and often I don’t find out about them until closer to the release date. There is a site called Read it 1st which sends out newsletters of books being turned into movies but sadly this site has been inactive for a while and Hank Green is just too busy doing all the jobs. So with a little help from an article from iO9 and some Google searching I’ve decided to give people an idea of the 30 new film adaptations currently in the works. Just a warning some of these movies are still in development and some may never make it to a release date.

    Thanks for the list! I agree it’s hard to keep up with these days. I’m really excited about The Great Gatsby though. And Catching Fire, of course!
