SotF 6: Somebody Adapt Me!

from The Historical Romance Review

In this State of the Field episode, Amy and Sarah discuss the sudden increase in book-to-screen romance adaptations. The rom-com might be dead, but the 2020s are full of filmic fancasts of your favourite romance fiction. How can you judge a good adaptation from a bad one? How similar to the original should a movie or tv version be? Is it fair for fans to cry when they have their hearts broken? And should we be striving for accuracy or authenticity when reshaping a story for a new audience? #romancebooks #romance #fiction #smut #stateofthefield #filmadaptation #tvadaptation #pagetoscreen #romancemovies #romancefilm #books #booktok #tiktok #kindle #kindlereader #reading #bookreview #heatedrivalry #thesummeriturnedpretty #offcampus Follow us on Instagram @historicalromancereview Follow us on TikTok @historicalromancereview Watch us on YouTube @HistoricalRomanceReview Credits: The Historical Romance Review is written, recorded and produced in Meanjin/Brisbane, on the unceded land of the Yugarabul, Yuggera, Jagera and Turrbal peoples.
