What Was Better: The Book or The Movie? with Rich Binsacca

WHAT WAS BETTER: THE BOOK OR THE MOVIE?

It’s a classic debate between readers and filmgoers, and this course will dive into a popular book-to-movie adaptation from both sides: what was kept, who was dropped (and why)...and what was the screenwriter thinking?? This fun, interactive discussion will focus on story, plot, character, drama-and marketability-that is essential to the film adaptation process.
