10 Movies From "Unfilmable" Stories According to Far Out

"Thanks to advances in technology, the list of stories that can unequivocally be called unfilmable continues to dwindle because cinema always seems to find a way of realising the impossible. It's not just about the challenges presented by creating far-flung worlds or spinning a yarn against the most epic backdrop, though, with authors rarely scribbling down their latest tale while having one eye on selling off the film rights & making a killing. Literature and film have always gone hand-in-hand, but that doesn't mean everything in one medium is applicable to the other, and vice versa. There have been plenty of adaptations abandoned once it became clear there was no way it was going to work, but perseverance often pays off. In the case of the following ten titles, many of them spent years, if not decades, in development hell, only to cross that final frontier & make it into cinemas. In an even more welcome turn of events, most of them are pretty damned good, too." - faroutmagazine.co.uk
