asked:
Why was there never a movie made from this?! Most of L.M Montgomery's have been adapted to a movie or a series! Why didn't this one ever become a movie it would have been very nice seeing the characters come to life!

I would only trust it to PBS Masterpiece

I was just thinking that today-- This would be an excellent Hallmark movie! Its a great story that really has it all.
Courtney Birnbaum
I kind of suspect it is because it may not be in the public domain yet! Someone has copyrighted a screenplay in 2007 and another in 2008, so perhaps they will sell and we'll get a screenplay after all? But it's definitely possible that the book's relatively unknown status and its need to be a period piece (which costs more than a basic modern-day setting) has kept it from becoming a film yet.
Monika
Well, let's write a screenplay and make the movie ;)
Kathryn Smith
I don't want a movie made from this book. It could never, ever do it justice.
Lesley Gore
Totally agree!! I searched for a movie the minute I finished the book because it's just that perfect. They wouldn't need to change a thing! Fingers crossed that this will someday happen. (If so, who would you guys cast in the lead roles?)
Joyce
My thought exactly. This will make a perfect movie. Like, seriously.

Just finished last week with the book, and wondering WHY we have not seen an adaptation of this book?!?!
No need to do more Anne right now...Seriously.

I hope that whoever made Anne With An E on Netflix takes The Blue Castle on. If anyone can do it justice, I believe it's them.

I just finished it today and I totally agree with you, what a pity :(!
Eugenia Nick
I completely agree! It would be a wonderful, romantic movie!
AquaMoon
I've often wondered this myself. This book would make a fabulous movie! Of course they'd probably have to pad it with additional action scenes, as much of the text is filled with descriptions of flora and fauna and seasonal changes that are so long and detailed they're practically Tolkienesque!
Danielle
It would be an amazing movie!

I think the problem is that The Blue Castle isn't as well known as some of the author's other work. I'd never even heard of it until I stumbled across a copy on the sale rack at the local public library.
Raluca Damian
I ask myself the same question too... :(
Rebecca Klemme Eliceiri
Hey, look at this! I hope and pray it is done well! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.holl...
