There are a lot of books that have been adapted into films. For most of them, the central idea of the entire book is preserved perfectly. But in most cases, some details differ. For everyone, there is a world of difference between reading a book and watching a cinema adaptation of it. The experience is never the same, and based on certain individual differences, you might prefer one to the other. Whether you prefer a book or movie, here is a comparison of both experiences.
● Get the whole story or a summary of it?
Typically, a book delivers every detail of a story; you get to follow every character, every conversation, and even minor details that you might not even be interested in. For ardent literature enthusiasts, this is part of the whole experience. They enjoy every bit of these minor details. But if you are a “give-me-only- the-juicy-details” kind of person,...

Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear — specifically, the mid-1950s to the late ’60s — when Paramount and Warner Bros. relied on producers such as A.C. Lyles and Hal Wallis, and directors like Henry Hathaway, Gordon Douglas, and Burt Kennedy, to maintain a steady flow of workmanlike Westerns for consumption by diehard horse opera fans at theaters and drive-ins everywhere. That’s the invitation extended by writer-director-star Scott Martin’s “Big Kill,” one of the precious few Westerns of recent years that one can easily imagine as a decades-ago vehicle for John Wayne, Dean Martin, James Stewart, and their contemporaries with only minor tweaking of the script.
Yes, it clocks in at a leisurely 127 minutes, but that makes it only four minutes longer than John Ford’s “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” (1962) — just one of the obvious influences on Martin’s scenario about an upright tenderfoot...

2016 is five weeks old, so the new model is rolling off the assembly line. You might think I’m referring to an automobile company like Ford or Lincoln. Well, we are dealing with a brand name, one associated with popular novels instead of cars. Stephen King is still king of the horror/suspense novels, John Grisham has the legal thrillers, and Nicholas Sparks is best known for the swoony, sweeping romance paperbacks that fill the spinner racks at airport gift shops and often protrude from the tops of canvas beach bags. His best sellers quickly grabbed the attention of the movie studios, and almost a dozen have been translated to the big screen (easy to see why since they don’t require costly CGI action set pieces or big name superstars since Sparks is the name that draws ’em in). Back to the assembly line reference, there’s been a...

Filmdom has, once again, turned to one of its favorite author’s for romantic source material. The Choice is based on the Nicholas Sparks novel of the same name and features a lot of love triangle goodness with an extra dose of adorable puppies and wise old narrators. And now there's a new trailer for you to check out. The story takes place in a small coastal town in North Carolina, where Travis Parker (Benjamin Walker) enjoys the good pleasures of a simple, single life. He believes that settling down will only cramp his style, but when Gaby Holland (Teresa Palmer) moves in next door, things get more complicated than he ever imagined. Things get pretty ooey-gooey and lovey-dovey, along with a heavy dose of heightened, soap opera level relationship twists, which, as you can see from the trailer, are at least partially given away in less ...

It's love at first sight for Benjamin Walker and Teresa Palmer in the trailer for Nicholas Sparks adaptation The Choice.
Travis Parker and Gabby Holland are two young people from different worlds – and yet they're instantly drawn to each when their puppies make friends (and more).
One slight problem is that Gabby's spoken for, and poor Travis is going to have to get through Superman himself Tom Welling to win her heart.
The film version of Sparks's 2007 novel was shot on location in Wilmington, North Carolina, home of Dawson's Creek, Sleepy Hollow and Under The Dome.
Director Ross Katz's (Adult Beginners) supporting cast includes True Detective's Alexandra Daddario, Oscar nominee Tom Wilkinson and Taken's Maggie Grace.
The Choice opens on February 5, 2016 in the Us.

Though the most recent adaptations of his work – The Best Of Me and The Longest Ride – didn’t exactly set audience hearts aflame, the Nicholas Sparks romance factory keeps on clanking away. The latest to roll off the production line is The Choice, which finds Benjamin Walker and Teresa Palmer as the star-crossed lovers of the moment. Check out the first trailer below.The Choice hit book shelves in April 2009 and focuses on Travis Parker (Walker), a man who would appear to be living the perfect life. He has a good job, great friends and the ideal living situation in a beautiful waterfront North Carolina home. Where women are concerned, he’s quite content to be the love-‘em-and-leave-‘em type until Gabby Holland (Palmer) moves in next door. Though there's initially more frustration than romance between them – and she already has a long-term boyfriend – they’re destined for one another,...

The new trailer for "The Choice," the latest drama from romance novelist Nicholas Sparks, claims to reveal the secret to life, as explained by protagonist Travis Parker (Benjamin Walker): "The whole damn thing is about choices."
In the clip, which premieres today exclusively on Moviefone and across other Aol sites (along with a brand-new poster for the movie, below), we learn that the main choice at the center of the flick is made by Gabby Holland (Teresa Palmer), the comely young lady who catches Travis's eye when she moves in next door. Gabby must decide if she wants to be with Travis or the hunky doctor Ryan (Tom Welling), and it seems she's happiest with the latter option; of course, like any good Nicholas Sparks leading man, Travis isn't letting Gabby go without a fight.
The two squabble about their dogs, kiss passionately in a clandestine hookup, and share...

Author Nicholas Sparks has another book, The Choice, being adapted into a movie, and Tom Welling has been cast in a lead role. This might just be the biggest thing to happen to Welling since Smallville ended. He really hasn't done a lot since that series.
Sparks is a big deal in Hollywood, and his romantic tales usually turn out to be really good films. Some of the movies based off his work include The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, and Dear John.
The movie also stars Benjamin Walker as Travis Parker and Teresa Palmer as Gabby Holland. In the story they play neighbors in a small coastal town, and "end up pursuing a relationship neither expected." According to Deadline, Welling will take on the role of Kevin McCarthy, a doctor at his father’s practice who is Gabby’s boyfriend. The love triangle plays out over the course of a decade.

With filming set to get underway next week in Wilmington, Smallville alum Tom Welling has landed the starring role in Nicholas Sparks’ latest book-to-screen adaptation, The Choice.
As is the case for the majority of Sparks’ back catalogue, the film will centre on a lovestruck couple — namely Travis Parker (played by Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter star, Benjamin Walker) and Gabby Holland (Teresa Palmer)— and charts the ups and downs of their relationship over the course of a decade. It will be based on the eponymous 2007 novel.
In terms of Welling’s role, however, Deadline has reported that the American actor will step into the shoes of Kevin McCarthy. Essentially, McCarthy is an esteemed doctor at his father’s practice and effectively makes up the third corner of the love triangle following Travis and Gabby. As such, The Choice tells the tale of the three young lovers, set in North Carolina.

There’s some obscure (and possibly occult) law that if enough people sob at a movie, their tears will fertilize a new film empire. It’s why James Cameron stopped making regular action movies and started putting out three-hour epics like Titanic and Avatar, all designed around jerking as many tears as possible. This would also explain the alleged reports that Cameron showed up during random screenings of Titanic to dab at people’s tears with a wad of hundreds and chuckle menacingly to himself. Nicholas Sparks did the same thing with The Notebook. He got the requisite number of sobs, and now he’s set for life. Along with this year’s The Best of Me and next year’s The Longest Ride, yet another film based on one of his novels is now in the works. Variety reports Sparks’s novel “The Choice” will be adapted into a feature by Ross Katz, whose...

Well, here's something we weren't expecting. Ross Katz — a filmmaker who got good notices with his HBO flick "Taking Chance," is heading to Tiff with "Adult Beginners," and produced "In The Bedroom," "Lost In Translation" and "Marie Antoinette" — is now taking on a Nicholas Sparks property.
