    My wife always gets excited when a book she loves is being adapted (right now Verity and project hail Mary) but I learned from many disappointments to not get excited. I still watch most of them but I don’t expect too much

      Film is a different medium. You can’t have the same exact story in both a movie and a book.

      I just think of it as someone else telling the story.

      After seeing the trailer for project, Hail Mary, it seems like they’re gonna stick pretty close to the book. Like they did with the Martian.
