- I would make this book a film because it wouldn't make sense as a T.V show because it doesn't have the right set up for it like, for example Pretty Little Liars was set up for a T.V show. It also would not work for a musical because it isn't fluffy for one like needed. For example High school music was fluffy with a little bit of conflict to keep it interesting but The Maze Runner is way to intense for it.
- You have to keep in order the beginning when Thomas comes up in the box because if that doesn't happen until later then you wouldn't have a movie until he shows up because he is a main character in the story/movie.
- In the movie they add a ceremony on the night that Thomas gets there and I think that it added a lot to the movie because it was put in the movie instead of putting in the part where Chuck and Thomas pull a prank on Gally. I thought that the prank was very irrelevant to what was going on in the Glade.
- I think that the casting choices that the directors made were very good and that they fulfilled what I was expecting most the characters to look like. Therefore I wouldn't have made any changes to the cast.
- Some of the unique parts that I saw in the movie was when Thomas makes the decision to run into the glade and then has to spend the night out there with Minnho and then makes them be the first people to make it the night in the Glade and also the very first person to ever kill a griever. I would keep that and I would have added that part to the book because in the book they just find a dead griever which is a lot less interesting.

I thought that the book had a couple of boring spots but all in all was a very interesting and thrill seeking book
I thought that this book was worth five stars. It created amazing pictures in my head that were so vivid I felt as though I was inside the book. It taught me many life lessons on how I can't take anything in my life for granted. Hazel is...

I loved how you related how you would adapt your book to how the movie producers adapted it. I'm also interested in finding out about what the movie changed because i have seen the movie but haven't read the book.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you about making The Maze Runner into a movie! I like how you compared it to other TV shows and musicals. I think watching a ceremony for Thomas the night he enters the Glade would be a lot more enjoyable than watching Thomas and Chuck pull a prank on Gally. I think for the cast I probably would have cast people who look more the age of the characters in the book. For example: I would have chosen someone a little younger than the guy who plays Thomas. I would also make Newt a little older since he seems so young in the movie as compared to an older version in the book.
