Book adaptations are a huge trend in the modern era of cinema and the entertainment business in general. Almost every book‚ whether fictitious or not‚ has been made into a 2 hour long film that usually gets popular. Movies like It‚ The Hunger Games and Goodfellas are good examples. For this case of book adapted to big screen Hollywood films‚ I’m using the film Zodiac. It kinda feels obvious why a book this big would get a adaptation equally as big.

In a classic Shakespeare play‚ Julius Caesar‚ Antony and Brutus go toe-to-toe at Caesar’s funeral‚ although‚ to Brutus’ dismay Antony’s speech was better than his.
