It’s rare when a film adaptation lives up the book it was based on so with that in mind I have compiled a list of 40 books that have been adapted for the big screen that we can expect to see in theaters this year. This includes two books from Gillian Flynn, young adult adaptations of work by Veronica Roth, Suzanne Collins and James Dashner, a short story from Dennis Lehane, a Nick Hornby adaptation, and an adaptation written by Nick Hornby, a new John le Carre adaptation and a prequel to the stories written by Tom Clancy as well as a couple comics and graphic novel adaptations from the likes of Frank Miller and Hiroshi Sakurazaka and Alexander O. Smith.
I’ve added everything I could think of and while I’m sure I missed a few, please forgive me and hopefully you’ll find something that appeals to your taste on the list.
I’ve included some of my own thoughts, information on the films, the book synopsis, trailers where available and a link to purchase any of the books at Amazon.com.
