Favorite Book-to-Movie Adaptation
This was a hard topic for me this week because I had a hard time thinking of any movie adaptations of books that I really love. In the end, I opted to feature The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux because it's one of the only ones I could think of where I really enjoyed the movie as well (although the music probably best, if we're being honest!). So, let's check out some (of the many) covers!
1987 US Paperback | 1990 Polish | 2004 Spanish
2019 Spanish | 2020 US Paperback | 2012 Penguin Classics |
2002 Persian | 2017 Serbian | 2017 Greek
2016 Romanian | 1992 French | 2005 Danish
My choice(s):
This one is so beautiful and I just love the design. A lot of the covers are really fun, but I'm a sucker for some great typography and a fancy design. The colors work so well for this story as well.
What cover(s) do you like the most?
I like that one, too! You're so right about the typography,
ReplyDeleteWow there are some weird covers! That Penguin Classics is so creepy. I think I like the 2019 Spanish cover the best.
