Hunting Adeline Movie Announced!

I cannot wait for it to flounder in development limbo for a decade before getting quietly cancelled. Because there is no way that an absolutely 100% adaptation of this book, and not just because the male lead is inhumanly attractive.

I will not be surprised if this is just an extremely expensive porno by the end.

I saw this video and yeah, I hope it doesn’t get past anything.

The problem is that even if it is released there a large chance that it will have to be extremely altered. The Zade cultists will not win.

Yes! It can’t and better not be unaltered… the book sounds genuinely graphic af

I haven’t read it, but I am annoyed with people drawing comparisons between this and I Spit On Your Grave. Two very, very different things, and some people are saying I Spit On Your Grave didn’t get any pushback, so this shouldn’t… I Spit On Your Grave DID get considerable pushback (afaik, the remake it still banned in certain places).

Secondly isn’t I Spit On Your Grave a revenge story? Not a true romance?

I Spit On Your Grave isn’t a romance at all. From what I can see, people are drawing comparisons because both of them will have… disturbing scenes. But one of them is about how disgusting it is and how she gets her revenge, the other is… about… her falling in love with him? Not anywhere near the same, and I wish people would knock it off.

You know what, I find this encouraging :joy: If this lady can get her book published and optioned, surely I can do it, too! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

You should! I started reading it last night. I’m… 3? chapters in? One more mention of how uber goth and creepy her house is and I’m gonna throw my phone. I’m not saying this to be disrespectful whatsoever, but it is feeling awfully “My Immortal”. I have other thoughts that I don’t wish to share with the class, as they are mean.

Yeah this is one of those books with plenty of one-star Goodreads reviews to read for fun :rofl: it’s still almost a 4 on there… :grimacing:

If nothing else Hunting Adeline has a more competent grasp of the English language than My Immortal…mostly because it was written with spellcheck.

Omg, why. Out of all the books that can be turned into a film, why that book?

Is that guy… AI? Or one of those looks maxxing people? :sweat_smile:

Zade is meant to look inhumanly attractive, complete with heterochromia and scars on his face.

What’s this book? I’m hearing about it the first time ever.

It is Stalker Romance that tik tok likes and the entire plot is based on sex crimes. The author claims that the movie adaptation will have no cuts relating to the explicit content, but an announcement is extremely early in a movie’s development.

That’'s like… I can think of a thousand other books/movies like that. My Wattpad feed is littered with them.

It’s not special but it is popular, which is enough to justify an announcement!

I see. Does it have any weird moments like the author not knowing how the internet works or weird dialogue that makes one think the author has never talked to another human?

Mostly overdramatic monologues about emotion.

Oh.

So still too much for me, but maybe not so much.
