Where:
Come discuss how the transition between mediums affects the presentation of story, tone, and character in the context of a few popular book-to-movie adaptations. What gets lost in translation, and what gets enhanced? Which changes are necessary, and which are problematic? How should a book and its movie adaptation be related for fans, and how should they be separated? And most importantly, how do book-to-movie adaptations affect fans?
