Book to Movie-Jurassic Park
I loved the novel Jurassic Park - Crichton is somehow able to make ripsnorting novels based on a fictional scientific breakthrough and Jurassic is one of his best.
In the novel, it is perfectly paced and works superbly to have the Rex attack in Act 2 and the very intense and suspenseful raptors coming after the good guys at the end.
When I read Mr. Spielberg was gonna direct the movie I was slightly worried because he has a tendency to be pretty faithful to original material and I began sending telepathetic:) messages to him to switch the two acts.
For a film, the suspense with the raptors is perfect for the end of act 2
and then the finale for the movie would be the thundering action sequence with Rex chasing them to the helicopter - WOW!
Well, nobody listened to my brainwaves and they followed the novel, so it only:) made a couple of billion dollars. I truly believe if they had switched, it woulda made more!!!!
