| Re: Close to the book?....
I loved Contact the film a good deal more than Contact the book, which suffered from Sagan's "all the nice good and inherently cool scientists of the world come together and try to bring about world peace and harmony" claptrap. The film made a right decision in concentrating on the heroine's personal journey.
A really good adaptation of Dune...in which I assume the word good stands for 'faithful' will just make for a very tedious film except for people who're obsessed with the source work and regard it as infallible. |
