Fall Books to Movie Preview

Entertainment Weekly has posted a list of the most anticipated movies for the Fall and several of them are based on books.  I am so excited to see all of these!  Which ones are you most excited to see?  I’m sure you know which one I want to see most:)

NICK & NORAH’S INFINITE PLAYLIST  Oct. 3  Michael Cera, Kat Dennings, Ari Graynor  Mixing Juno’s smart-mouthed humor with the one-crazy-night setup of Can’t Hardly Wait, this teencom follows the adventures of music snobs Nick (Cera) and Norah (Dennings) as they fall in love while chasing their favorite band — and Norah’s drunk BFF (Graynor) — around the streets of NYC.

THE ROAD Nov. 14 Viggo Mortensen, Charlize TheronCormac McCarthy’s 2006 post-apocalyptic novel about a dying man who tries to lead his young son to safety was a critical darling that grabbed the attention of readers and, yes, even Oprah (not to mention us — The Road nabbed the No. 1 spot on EW’s New Classics book list). So why should the film adaptation be any different? Though certainly bleak, the film has Oscar written all over it. And when has Mortensen ever let us down?

TWILIGHT Dec. 12 Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson Since Breaking Dawn, Stephenie Meyer’s final installment in her teen vampire-centric franchise, bowed at No. 1 on nearly all the best-seller lists, why not catch up to tween readers nationwide — and enjoy some vampire eye candy — by seeing the movie version of book 1, which follows a girl (Stewart) who falls in love with a handsome bloodsucker (Pattinson).

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON Dec. 25  Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett In an effort to make people of all ages feel bad about the way they look, Brad Pitt reteams with his Fight Club director, David Fincher, for this bittersweet fantasy about a man who ages in reverse from 80 back down to infancy. But can baby Brad actually hope to out-cute Shiloh

MARLEY & ME  Dec. 25  Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston  Adapted from John Grogan’s best-selling novel — a memoir about life with a hopeless yellow Lab named Marley — comes this romcom about a journalist (Wilson, in his first role since his reported suicide attempt last summer) and his wife (Aniston) who move to Miami and decide to adopt a puppy that would inevitably become a bigger part of the family than they ever expected.

REVOLUTIONARY ROAD Dec. 26 Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio Don’t miss the boat on this one: Titanic stars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are back together for a decidedly unsentimental portrait of a marriage, based on Richard Yates’ 1961 novel.
