British director Emerald Fennell is making Wuthering Heights, an adaptation of the Emily Brontë classic loved by depressed and horny girls everywhere. Or, more precisely, she is making "Wuthering Heights," because, as she explained in a recent interview, "it is Wuthering Heights and it isn't-but really I'd say that any adaptation of a novel should have quotation marks around it." Well, OK!

"Number one for me was not faking too much," Haley says. "Obviously you have to fake stuff and you have to pretend you're somewhere where you're not. But I wanted this film to be grounded and believable, and for it to feel like you were actually on vacation with Poppy and Alex. So it was important to me to shoot it with our boots on the ground."

"No matter how bad things get in the world, it's a comfort to know we're always going to have more gay s**t to watch," he said.

"I remember things in retinal flashes," Yuknavitch explains in the book. "Without order." In another passage, she says, "All the events of my life swim in and out between each other," adding that, although her memory is nonlinear, "we can put it into lines to narrativize over fear." The liberation of time is central to modern cinema, because, once a movie is acknowledged as a work of first-person art as much as a book is, subjectivity itself becomes its overarching subject.

Out today, Woman Down centers on writer Petra Rose, an author who has writer's block and checks into a remote cabin to finish her next book. Petra, who took a hiatus after fans blamed her for a producer's decision to cut a fan-favorite character out of the film adaptation of her book A Terrible Thing, has "learned the hard way what happens when the internet turns on you," a synopsis states.

Hannibal Lecter's first movie appearance was in 1986's Manhunter, starring Brian Cox. It took director and writer Michael Mann just five weeks to adapt Thomas Harris's novel Red Dragon for the screen. But when it came to adapting his own work Heat 2, co-authored with Meg Gardiner as both a prequel and sequel to his 1995 film Heat Mann discovered the pain of self-editing.

You can't cut and paste large speeches of Shakespeare and put them into a novel,

It rooted slowly but firmly, like all "cult classics." It wasn't so much the story of her abusive childhood and the liberation she found in sex and substances, swimming, and writing as it was a polemic against the notion of a fixed past. Its emphatic embrace of subjective experience-celebrating a certain ownership and reframing of your own history-over static, objective fact made it a kind of guide. Words to live by.

However, Shams Jorjani, the CEO of Helldivers developer Arrowhead Studios, says there's no reason to worry Writing on Discord, Jorjani said he trusts Lin, saying the filmmaker did a "great job" with Star Trek Beyond. The executive also encouraged people to let the man cook. "Let Justin Lin work his magic," Jorjani said, as reported by GamesRadar. The Hollywood Reporter said it was in fact Lin's lack of experience with games that helped him get the job when pitching to production company Sony.

Turning a beloved animated series into live action is always tricky. For every success, there's something like the 2010 film version of Avatar: The Last Airbender, a complete calamity. But arguably, the adaptation process gets trickier with source material that edges into the transgressive. So, in 2005, when the 1990s dark, animated cyberpunk series Aeon Flux became a movie starring Charlize Theron, something strange happened.

William Shakespeare is the most celebrated playwright in the English language, but we really know so little about him.

"It feels like a circus," Hoover says. "I'm just trying to stay removed from the negativity. I have my own story I could tell ... but I don't want to bring attention to it, and I don't want to have to put someone else down to lift myself up. So I'd rather just ignore it and let people think and say what they're going to say."

Train Dreams, Clint Bentley's glorious rendering of Denis Johnson's elliptical novella borders on visual poetry as it profoundly observes one man's existence. It's a transcendent experience that echoes the best elements of Terrence Malick's films, particularly in how a wandering camera caresses and gazes at the awesomeness, and danger, of nature. But Train Dreams never gets manacled by arc creative pretensions, resisting the urge to surrender to opaqueness (which doesn't always happen in Malick's films).

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 's story is unlike any of the three previous books. It follows Harry Potter (his hair now overgrown into a very 2000s mop) as he returns to Hogwarts for an unusual year: he not only becomes an unprecedented part of a big wizarding event, but he also experiences some of the hallmarks of his teenage years, including crushes.
