Year 2016 - Expectations and rumors

[Zeljka]

We forgot to open this section! It is still not too late to talk about any new adaptations coming out next year, right? If you hear about something, please write that down here, surely we would all like to know that :)

Dennis was kind to mention to me that 11/22/63 is made into a mini-series produced by JJ Abrams. I managed to find some other adaptations that are ready for 2016:
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey (mentioned by Jill)
13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened In Benghazi by Mitchell Zuckoff
Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk by Ben Fountain
Cell by Stephen King
The Choice by Nicholas Sparks
Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt by Anne Rice

Fallen by Lauren Kate
The Finest Hours: The True Story of the U.S. Coast Guard's Most Daring Sea Rescue by Michael Tougias and Casey Sherman
How to Be Single by Liz Tuccillo
Inferno by Dan Brown
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling (I think Jon Favreau's version)
The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman

I did not know about Roots remake. That is going to be quite epic I must say

One other I see might be an excellent read is The Revenant.

Buzzfeed made an article on movies in 2016 based on books:
19 Books To Read Before The Movie Comes Out In 2016

Some of them that haven't been mentioned here are:
Allegiant by Veronica Roth (of course - silly me, how I forgot this one?)
The BFG by Roald Dahl
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander (this would make a brilliant addition to our Harry Potter project, once we decide to do it!)
The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates: And a Thousand Cocktails by Dave Stangle and Mike Stangle
A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
Tarzan Of The Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs
