While adapted works rarely live up to the originals, I still enjoy checking them out. Here are ten I’m looking forward to across several media:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Hate U Give<\/em> film is based on a book by Angie Thomas that I loved.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. Dumplin’<\/em> is coming out sometime on Netflix and is based on a Julie Murphy novel, with original songs by Dolly Parton and Jennifer Aniston playing the mom.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  3. I haven’t seen any of the three previous films of the same name, but I’m still looking forward to the Lady Gaga\/Bradley Cooper version of A Star Is Born<\/em>.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  4. I read today that there’s a Greatest Showman<\/em> tribute album coming out next month. It’s a great soundtrack and I always find one or two songs that transcend the original in cover albums.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  5. I still haven’t seen the Cormoran Strike<\/em> series made by the BBC last year from the Robert Galbraith (J.K. Rowling) novels. It’s on sale at Target, though, so I should see if it’s coming to a Redbox or if one of the other nearby library systems has it.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  6. The Nutcracker and the Four Realms<\/em> is going to feature Misty Copeland and Helen Mirren, so I am there. Plus, you know I’m a sucker for a Christmas film.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  7. A Thousand Nights<\/em> by E.K. Johnston is an adaptation of One Thousand and One Nights<\/em> that came out a few years ago, but the Ren\u00c3\u00a9e Ahdieh adaptation came in first, and I didn’t want to read two so close together, so put this one off.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  8. I’m curious about the impending publication of Marilla of Green Gables<\/em>, a prequel of sorts to Anne<\/em>, by Sarah McCoy.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  9. The House with the Clock in Its Walls<\/em> looks a little spooky, but only a little bit, so Rudi and I are going to try to catch it this month.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  10. Mary Poppins Returns<\/em>. I mean I was always going to see it, but add in a cameo by Dick Van Dyke and a lead role for Lin-Manuel Miranda and I’ll queue up for it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
