The only movie I can think of that is as good as the book because it is, like, 99% identical to the book is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
I was shocked when I found and read the book and felt like I already knew every line because the dialogue is word for word exactly the same, and the movie even includes a lot of narration ripped directly from the book.
Was it a movie first then the book adapted from the screenplay? I read one like that before, it was just the movie written down
No it was a book first. The book came out in 1971, the film in 1998.
I remember watching "Bonfire of the Vanities" and thinking , this is great they nailed it then Tom Hanks gets off scot free . ๐ฃBoooo! HISSSSS! FUCKING COWARDS! FUCK YOU!!! ๐ ๐ ๐
