Re: Faithfulness vs Creativity in Adaptations?

[(Anonymous)]

Really, really depends on the original story being adapted.

For example, if it's a novel that has a lot of cinematic action in it already, I prefer they adapt it faithfully.

But if it's a novel that's full of long conversations and the inner thoughts of people sitting and musing silently, I'd prefer them to take liberties to convey that information in a more screen-friendly way.

Same with a series of stories being adapted story-to-episode into a TV show.

And if it's a series of short stories being adapted into a movie, a la Sherlock Holmes, I'd prefer them to take even more liberties.

Whereas if it's the reverse, with a long novel being adapted into a series, like so many Masterpiece Theater adaptations of Dickens novels, I prefer them to remain mostly faithful.

And of course, pop culture icons automatically are allowed far more creativity than less-well-known fictional stories or characters.
