      Gillian Flynn adapted her story "Gone Girl" for David Fincher's 2014 movie. But, she had help from a director who knew what he was doing and she herself understood that not only did she have to cut some stuff due to time, budget and some of her ideas in her book were not going to work on film.

    If I remember correctly Stephen King said he disliked Kubrick’s version of The Shining because Kubrick cut out a lot of the slower dialogue scenes in favor of making it more exciting, Kubrick had the right idea, he knew the movie had a lot of baggage that needed to be cut out in order to make a better movie, as a book those long scenes of talking work, because books are driven by dialogue, movies are different, it’s a medium of show don’t tell, so even though it meant changing up the original story Kubrick sacrificed the dialogue heavy portions for the sake of a better movie

      Yeah, when you have a story jump media, it's always sloppier when they try to copy it point for point. The best case scenario would be the movie adaptation of the comic book Watchmen. And that movie was "ok" I guess. I mean, think of Kubrick adaptation of the Shining, or of some other film adaptations that deviate from the book. Jurassic Park and Jaws stand out because Spielberg did his own thing. If he stuck more closely to the books, you would be rooting for the shark and dinosaurs.

    I think the problem with Stephen King making his own version on the shinning is that he has no idea how movies NEED to be made to be interesting. Stephen Kings talent is writing books not directing movies, which is why in his version of the shining he had the characters talk and talk, and do every day average things because in books you can have all those things in them and no one would find it odd, while in movies people always need the charaters to do things that tie to the suspenseful part of story and a real exciting rising action to make it intresting. Personally i think its best that Stephen King sticks to being a author

      I get your point but he did the series VERY closely to what was going on in the book (alot of exposition) which is how he wanted it to be portrayed originally in the film and how it should have been portrayed. Steven king is good at making a scary and suspenseful story. The problem with the book itself was that it wasn't very suspenseful. A few jumpscares and creepy moments that lead nowhere all until the explosion. So all in all i think he did a good job bringing his book to life cause it's pretty obvious that's what he wanted

    Spoiler for the book
    The book was honestly terrifying. The hedge animals actually weren't supposed to be visible in movement, and could do a hell of a lot of damage to people (probably kill if they had the chance). Tony isn't supposed to be scary, he is Danny's "friend" and is there to help him. The reason that the mini series doesn't work is because it tries to focus so much on dialogue that occurs within characters heads organically within the novel. The novel puts so much focus on inner thoughts, that it seems clumsy and out of place when spoken aloud in a long winded conversational manner. The reason that "Jack" seems to survive so long, is because he is already dead and is being possessed by the hotel. The ghosts "die" because the hotel, the only thing connecting them to this world was destroyed. One of the things that was better about this movie was Wendy. She is supposed to be a sympathetic character, whom the reader relates to and roots for with everything going on.

      I don't think anyone here is criticizing the book. The book is a terryfying story. But what everyone here is criticizing is the fact how badly Stephen King adapted his own novel. The book is over 400 pages long, it makes sense that it's full of dialogue heavy moments. But this is a visual media where you can show us what's happening. You don't have to talk about it. That's where King went wrong. He had no experience at all in writing screenplays, he was used to writing books, without realising how diffrent the two are from eachother.

      RageJoona I'm criticizing the book. It sucked, imo. It was never scary, went on forever, had plot threads that constantly went nowhere, an overabundance of unnecessary sex scenes that add literally nothing to the plot, boring ideas, and boring character back stories that took too long to show.

    You know what is crazy? The book has just as many talks about Wendy's and Jack's marriage as the series does... But since it invested effort into making how terrified Danny is of a divorce early on, those scenes are *actually* suspenseful in the book, because you are invested enough to not *want* them to break up, even though it would have been the more healthy solution by far; just another example of why literally taking a book and plastering it in filmed format doesn't work; the lack of inner dialogue from Danny turns scenes that were gripping in the book into a snorefest in the series.

      The maze IMO was a good compromise on Kubrick's part, but having read the novel a million times I can honestly say the maze in the novel would have worked (for me, at least) but the hedge animals moving, slowly stalking them, and attacking Mr. Halloran worked so well in the novel.

    I just got done reading the novel. I appreciate how King wanted a faithful adaptation of his book, and I sympathize with his wishes to make Jack Torrance a more relateable, sympathetic character, but I think the changes Kubrick made to the film were more out of necessity to make a good horror film than anything. As Critic points out, a lot of the dialogue and moments that made the book scary- don't translate well to a visual adaption. I think Kubrick did a fantastic job in taking a scary book and translating it into a scary, iconic film. And throughout the myriad of changes the film made from the novel, I still think there are plenty of nods to the book in Kubrick's adaption.

    I think I know why Stephen King's books don't usually translate well into movies: his main style seems to be that he slowly builds up tension throughout a long period of time as his characters maneuver about their everyday lives, gradually punctuating them with events that begin as vaguely bizarre and eventually escalate into bat-shit insane. This kind of storytelling is best done through writing because of the author's freedom to elaborate on backstory, drive the story with third-person insight, and describe scenes in a unique way that would take a seemingly ordinary event and turn it into something chilling or sinister. I don't think a lot of King's ideas work in movies because it's a visual medium, and he can't take advantage of his greatest strength: his narrative voice. So King really isn't to blame here; sometimes a person's work of art is only fitting to one particular medium.

    • @Gravitynaut

      It's also why his constant complaining about the Kubrick adaptation is really baseless.

It's pretty clear King couldn't do any better as far as writing the miniseries goes.

    Stephen King is an amazing writer, without a doubt, but he doesn't seem to understand that film and novel are two completely different things. When reading something, your mind tends to make it scarier and more intense while on film, it can look silly

    • @pi_beta7306
      @pi_beta7306 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Frodo it's probably why no one has attempted to tamper with a lot of classics, and when they do it's a flop. The 1990 version of "It" was a low budget TV series but the movie did great. I like Kubrick's films but I don't worship the ground he walked on, but I can appreciate and understand his following; the guy didn't make careless errors, his casting was terrific and he was meticulous and a very brilliant perfectionist. If someone tried to outdo him, they would most likely fail. And it's not an insult to the actors, writers, screen writers, or directors--sometimes the original is untouchable and unbreakable enough that no one (no matter how talented) will be able to take over the roles played (in a remake) compared to the original. (It's why the cast of Ferris Bueller will always be Matthew Broderick and co. vs. some new up and coming Hollywood star. It's not that no one else on the planet would be unable to play a good Ferris Bueller; it's just that MB did such a great job in the first place that trying to outdo it would be some weird form of taboo. Don't mess with perfection, and if perfection isn't in someone's vocabulary I'd say don't mess with the closest thing to it you'll likely find.) I feel the same way about Kubrick's adaptation--true to the book, not exactly, and I understand why King doesn't like it having wrote the novel, but like Doug pointed out while chugging toilet water, it created such an unsettling and surreal atmosphere and anyone attempting to out-do it would have a serious, serious challenge ahead of them with an audience with so many memories of the original that it would almost guarantee to be a flop.)
      I like the mini series and think the actors (particularly Webber) did an outstanding job given what they were up against. I like both movie adaptations and I appreciate Doug showing the audience that the atmosphere in Kubrick's version was much more unsettling and confusing and that the actors in that movie were outstanding, yet the actors in the mini-series did a wonderful job at portraying what King wanted to portray in his novel. As fans of both artists I find a lot of value and a lot of depth in both movies, and much more character development in the novel. I like all 3 version of all 3 mediums! Aren't I lucky?
      JMO of course =D
      PS: King only fans will hate me but I feel very saddened that Kubrick isn't alive to take on a cinematic adaptation of the novels sequel, "Doctor Sleep." I've love to see this turned into a movie by an experienced director who could dissect the novel and create an adaptation of it!

    From what I've seen, King just wrote the book in movie form for this miniseries. There is dialogue straight out of the book and there were a few parts in the book that were too long, like the wasps. I can't believe King actually thought copying his book verbatim would make a good movie.

      rockbandinthusiast the problem is that Stephen King lacks the precision and intelligence of Stanley Kubrick's shining
      Every scary moment has layers of meaning that caused entire video essays to be made about it scares. Every scare sequence gives foreshadowing(the twins and how they were killed by a axe) or revelations(pedaphile relationship between Danny and Jack was hinted by the pedo bear). None of the scares of Stephen Kings version feels like they serve any real purpose beyond fluff. This also applies to the character interactions Compare the typewriter scene from the Kubrick version vs the various conversations of the miniseries.

    The Shining is one of the best books I've ever read, and the Kubrick version is one of the best horror movies of all time. They have almost nothing in common. This miniseries was more faithful to the book, but it made all the scary stuff really silly (firehouse, Tony, hedge animals, Danny's stupid face)

    20:11- the book described the topiaries as moving closer and closer without them being seen visibly moving whenever you turned away from them - much like the Weeping Angels of Doctor Who. The scares came from whether the onlookers were imaging it or if it was true, what would they do if they caught you. All silent.
    The mini series very unsubtly hints of their sentience through animal noises long before they start moving like actual animals.

      Really? Jack Nicholson was awesome in the movie. He was the essential ingredient. Kubrick never had sympathetic characters. I think maybe his personality resonates more with older generations. People are too nice nowadays to appreciate the psychotic 'fun' in watching his performance. It would be like wanting Alex from A Clockwork Orange to be sympathetic.

      @@FIRSTNAMELASTNAME-zt4kf I'm reading it at the moment and nope, the movie is still a masterpiece. And "people" don't hate it. Some hardcore Stephen King-fans do. Kubricks version is revered as one of the best (horror-)movies ever. The main problem is: King is an amazing writer, but a lot of his writing doesn't translate well to an audiovisual medium without ending up looking silly. I read the part with Danny walking past the firehose today and King did a great job of taking the reader into the imaginative mind of a scared (and psychic) 5-year old, and how something as mundane as a firehose could appear as a threat to him that could come alive to chase him any minute. But in a movie without the luxury of knowing Danny's inner monologue during this scene, it just becomes silly. Because...it's a firehose.

      I don’t think it’s jealousy, but the same kind of disgust most writers have voiced over their original creation’s “adaptation to film”.
      King never said he loved this version, only that it stands closer to the book as an adaptation, but he still wished it had the proper budget to properly adapt the scenes from the book. The lady in the bathtub scene was over half of their entire practical effects budget.
      Like the difference between the “scares” in the IT tv mini-series, compared to the same ones in the 2 modern movies.
