The book that I think would make a really good movie is, Anna and the French Kiss. I think this would make a good movie because the story line is easy to follow so there aren’t any flashbacks or anything that would be harder to film and capture. Another reason that this book would be a good to turn into a movie is because it’s not in some made up setting that would be hard to film and create, instead it is in Europe. Europe is a real place, many options of where to film and in which buildings, also many other movies have been filmed there so it’s not like it would be impossible to do. As the producer I think that they would need to cut out some of the book so that it wouldn’t be so long, or they need to shorten scenes. An example where they could shorten up the scenes is how they have breakfast every morning together, they don’t need to show us that every time because we know that from past events and the book. You would have to shorten a lot of the scenes because the book is so long and each scene could be a mile long if you went and added all the details, if we cut some scenes and shorten others then that will make the movie the perfect length. Some actors that I would have play the parts are, for Anna I would have someone kind of like Jennifer Lawrence or someone around the age that she is with the dark hair. Then for St, Clair I would need someone British so I think I would choose someone like Robert Pattinson because he is British and he looks pretty young and could fill this spot. These actors both look pretty young and fit the characteristics of what the cover of the book looks like. I think that if people know what the book cover looks like they will be able to relate these two actors to the movie. I don’t think that a lot of scenes would need to be changed for this movie, but I do think that a lot of them will need to be shortened or cut. One part of the book is that Anna goes to a bunch of theaters and watches movies, but they are all different theaters, so it might be hard to try and get that many theaters for her to watch movies in. A solution to the problem is to cut some of the scenes with the movies that way you wouldn’t have to find as many movie theaters for Anna to watch movies or films in. I think that with the actors that I said earlier, some cuts and shorter scenes, and some of the solutions the book, Anna and the French Kiss, will make an amazing movie!
