So many good fantasy stories are not as good as movies--Percy Jackson (my daughter was so disappointed for many of the reasons you mention) & Inkheart are a few that come to mind. Not getting the skin color right would be a big upsetting thing for me. But it would be cool to have your story told. We can only hope to have that problem.Natalie Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756087804171246660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287168903003077619.post-60954007279901510372010-07-20T16:11:38.548-06:002010-07-20T16:11:38.548-06:00J.K.

Rowling is luck because she's one of the few authors who had control over the movies based on her books.<br /><br />Eragon the movie veered too much from the book. My son was so disappointed by The Lightning Thief. If the movies aren't going to closely reflect the book, they writers, producers, and directors shouldn't bother.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287168903003077619.post-39356172006620750282010-07-20T13:03:12.902-06:002010-07-20T13:03:12.902-06:00I think if I got to that point and actually sold t...I think if I got to that point and actually sold the movie rights I would be okay with whatever they decided to do. The tricky part would be to get me to sell the movie rights. But as Scott from the Lit Lab always says, a movie will sell more copies of your book than anything else ever would. Even if it's bad. :)Michelle D.

As soon as you asked the question I thought that my stories might be to intricate but after Harry Potter coming out and having read the entire series I know that can't be true.<br /><br />I don't think I'd be upset if my novel were to be made into a movie, in fact I think I would Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667521490706435608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287168903003077619.post-85427214033926414512010-07-20T08:01:49.983-06:002010-07-20T08:01:49.983-06:00I heard Ian Flemming was not happy with Sean Conne...I heard Ian Flemming was not happy with Sean Connery being cast as James Bond so I can see where an author or reader would have a certain vision and want to stick with it.<br />I wouldn't be happy either, but I think I would be able to get past it.
