From TMP:
Here at TMP I’ve had a couple articles dealing with books and movie adaptations. Inevitably one of the comments I always get on these articles say something to the effect of “I didn’t even know that was based off a book!” Sometimes those adaptations can sneak up on you and unless you really watch the credits you would never know. So I’ve compiled a list of movies you most likely didn’t know were based off of books.
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Bros Review: The series, as the title suggests, is about two adult men who want to behave like children and we are not here for that.
Going Home With Tyler Cameron Review: This is a simple, no-nonsense but cliched watch, with Cameron's boyish charms taking centre stage.
I guess Jaws could have gone on here as well...But it always amazes me the amount of people that don't know it was a book first. Just boggles my mind!
I knew Die Hard With a Vengeance (my personal favorite) was based off of a book, but I never knew the original Die Hard was as well.
never knew about the diehard books.
Definitely didn't know Die Hard was a book. Nor did I know Shrek was a book either.
I did know Neverending Story, History of Violence and Road to Perdition were books/comic books.
Loved Neverending Story when I was a kid. Road to Perdition and History of Violence I didn't know about until about a year or so ago.
I didn't know about the Die Hard either. The rest I did but I didn't read any except The Neverending Story but I've seen all the movies.
