ScreenBrum - Adaptations (25/06/2017)

ScreenBrum gets literary with special Guest Dr. Andrew Watts of Birmingham University's B-Film Centre for Film Studies.

Andrew has written extensively on the art of adapting books (and other media) for the screen, and talks through some of his favourite examples - including Jaws, First Blood, Goodfellas, Saturday Night Fever and more.

This is a fascinating insight into how books and films can augment each other, along with great music from these films and an AMAZING ANECDOTE ABOUT WHAT THE NOVEL "JAWS" WAS ALMOST CALLED...
