  • Summary

  • The art of adaptation has a long history, and it's even got its own award category at the Oscars. But how do your favorite books make it to the screen? How do you break down an inherently internal medium and make it visual, compelling, and vibrant? Hosted by EW Senior Writer Maureen Lenker, SCREEN AFTER READING takes us behind the scenes of some of the year's biggest screen adaptations talking to the people who made them — the cast, the writers, directors, and of course, the novelists themselves.
