Upcoming Adaptations to keep an eye on this fall

By Junkies Literarios

If you’re one of those book-before-movie kind of people, my favorite people in the world, then this article is for you!  With the premiere of The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials last week, I felt somewhat inspired. I did some research and found out what some of the next film adaptations will be, and I have to say, the results are satisfying to say the least! Here are the next six productions I’ll be watching before the year ends:

1. The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials.  This is the second installment in the Maze Runner franchise. In theaters now.

2. He Named Me Malala  Technically not a movie, but it’s a documentary based on a biographical book, so don’t hate. In this documentary, we’ll see the life of Malala Yousafzai, author of the book “I am Malala”, and how she’s been working hard toward education and women’s rights in India.  I would check with your local theater to find out if they will be showing it.  If so, the release date is October 2nd.

3. Pan 3D In this retelling of a classic, a very young Peter gets whisked away to neverland and has to join a group of unlikely heroes to save Neverland from the evil plans of captain Blackbeard. Levi Miller makes his big screen debut along with an A-List cast including Hugh Jackman, Rooney Mara, Cara Delevingne and Amanda Seyfried.  Film will be released on October 9.

5. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2  This is the final installment of the Hunger Games Franchise.

6. Victor Frankenstein

Told from Igor’s Point of View (Daniel Radcliffe), this fresh take on Mary Shelley’s classic will sure keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time.  Meet your makers on November 25.
