Here are some of our favourite amendments in adaptations.
Changes which show that, occasionally, adapting really can be key.
In the book, Carrie slows the blood down in her mothers body until her heart stops.
Its gripping and the kind of personal, intimate murder that stays with you long after reading the book.
Kings description of that event even now gives people the chills, and for good reason.
Yet for the film, it was hard to imagine what could have been done to match that effect.
It was not as quietly haunting as the novel but it made for some pretty impressive cinema.
If anything, some of these changes have even enhanced the already stellar stories.
One particular change is the extent Peeta was basically useless.
In the novels, Peeta often needs rescuing.
A simple change, but an important one.
It just went into so much detail that I often found myself glossing over those parts.
There is, of course, a reason for its inclusion.
It goes a long way to explaining Pats relationship with both his brother and psychiatrist.
It also explains a lot more about Pat Snr.
and his previous violent outbursts.
However, for the film, David O Russell wisely decided to trim this element dramatically.
If something needed to be trimmed in the story, Im glad thats where he decided to cut away.
She stole the screen every time she appeared and had many viewers grinning from ear to ear.
Again, a simple change, but such an effective one.
