[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 124545, member: 23"] Absolutely not. Who do they think they are?! Just because they created the damned character. That's a great way of doing it. I have done that myself before now, and I also find myself doing it with details such as "her blue estate car" or "his yellow pullover", coming up with a much more thorough visual to include specific models and designs. Sometimes, the less information that's given the better as it becomes more interactive. This has reminded me: When I read [I]Jaws[/I] when I was young I was very surprised how different it is from the film, with the the mafia subplot and Ellen's sexual encounter with Hooper. I worked out how long a film would be if it followed the book exactly and decided it would be far too long. Then, in all my pre-teen wisdom, I decided that the book would be the perfect source material for [I]Jaws: The Mini Series[/I]. I'm off the mini-series idea these days, but I have decided that the only way I could ever cope with a [I]Jaws[/I] remake would be if they went in a different direction and followed Benchley's book exactly, rather than remaking the film.
