Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Movies and books can be two different animals. Very few movies follow the book faithfully and some are totally unrecognizable. Faithful: Harry Potter movies Lord of the Rings Unfaithful: Total Recall (loosely based on "We'll remember it for you wholesale" by Phillip K. Dick) TOTALLY Unfaithful: The Beastmaster (idea based on the science fiction novel THE BEASTMASTER by Andre Norton) The only thing recognizable about The Beastmaster was the animal/human team. The original book was science fiction, not fantasy, and had no magic in it. As for books getting watered down for a lower rating, forget it. The rating system is determined by the publisher's guidelines. If you pick up a Harlequin main line, for instance, there is NO SEX. If you pick up a Silhouette Desire, there will be and it'll be explicit. |
