25 Movies Inspired by Magazine Stories According to Longreads.com

"As more publications pursue blockbuster stories with film and television potential, producers in Hollywood and the magazine industry are taking their inspiration from successful article-to-film adaptations of the past that have achieved box office success. Here are 25 gold-standard film adaptations of magazine articles, published over the course of half a century as cover stories, features, or breaking news. Celebrated journalists inspired these major motion pictures at the peak of their careers as writers and reporters. Name recognition in one industry reinforces name recognition in another, and — despite the incredible diversity of feature-length nonfiction being published today by new voices most mainstream audiences have yet to discover — institutional support still tends to elevate known veterans." - longreads.com
