Popcorn Culture - Supercut: Adapting for the Screen

Whether it's epic novels or comic books, adapting for the screen comes with its own unique set of challenges. For instance, keeping fans of the book happy while ensuring that viewers can understand the story on its own terms, cutting characters and storylines to fit a 2 hour running time, and even casting the right actors for characters who've lived in the public imagination for years. The list goes on... so in this episode of Supercut, we dive into adaptations that have gotten it right, and the ones that missed the mark.
