10 Films You Probably Did Not Know Were Based on Books

"Hollywood keeps looking for material to turn into screenplays and what better place to look at than the bookshelves? Novels and stories offer fully-fledged plots and characters that already have a life, which can then be adapted for the big screen. There are those classic films that everyone and their mums know were based on books: the Harry Potter movies, Pride and Prejudice, Oliver Twist, Les Misérables and so on and so forth. Comic books also have flourished as material for the screen for the last few years. But what about those forgotten novels and stories that in spite of being brilliant on their own accord have been overshadowed by the fame of the films they inspired? This list is devoted to them."
