In 7 days Tomorrow, When The War Began will be hitting screens, based on the first book in The Tomorrow Series written by John Marsden.
There have been many late nights spent talking excitedly with James about if, how, when they would ever make these books into movies, since I first read the series obsessively after my dad and before my mum (we were all impatiently waiting on the next book for the whole time, practically).
Now, with the release so very close I am unsure. This was my first series true love. I have strong thoughts and feelings about the story and the characters. What if the movie isn't at all what has been in my mind all these years, especially now that I've just re-read the first book to refresh my memory.
I have loved many books which have been made into a movie before now, but never have I felt this strongly about how the book should translate to film. At first, I was so worried that I almost decided we wouldn't even go to see it, but then I thought 'What if it is awesome, what if it does capture the spirit of the book and we miss out on something great?' I certainly do not want to miss out, I also don't want to be bitterly disappointed.
Have you loved a book and been disappointed or thrilled by the adaption made on film?
