In honor of the upcoming movie The Vampire's Assistant, which hits theaters on October 23rd, I have the pleasure of offering up an awesome new contest. Here's some info about the movie.
Synopsis:
Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, based on the popular series of books by Darren Shan, is a fantasy-adventure about a teenager who unknowingly breaks a 200-year-old truce between two warring factions of vampires. Pulled into a fantastic life of misunderstood sideshow freaks and grotesque creatures of the night, one teen will vanish from the safety of a boring existence and fulfill his destiny in a place drawn from nightmares.
I can't wait for this movie. I'm a fan of the books and it looks like it is translated wonderfully. YAY!!
As for the contest,
2 lucky winners will win:
Cirque du Freak book Set (3 titles in one book)
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant Locker Mirror
To win, simply leave a comment below telling me what your favorite book to movie transition is. Mine has always been Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Gene Wilder version, although I do love the Depp, too). Contest ends October 28.
Also, take a look at this awesome widget and vote away.
Great contest! I think the Harry Potter movies and City of Ember were really well done adaptations :D

I can't wait to read these! I love Willy Wonka too and the first movie was the best. I was also very impressed by the Harry Potter movies. I never thought they could do the books justice but they really have.

I loved "Kite Runner"! It is definitely an emotional read, but I LOVED it. I thought the movie was very true to the book even though they had to leave out a whole incident.
ReplyDeleteThese just sound so good to read
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say "Interview with a Vampire" It really surpised me with it that
Harry Potter was also really good even with the little alterations from text to screen
Thanks for the chance at this

Definitely Coraline is my favorite; I've always like the book, and the movie wasn't the disaster I expected.
ReplyDeleteAfter that, I'd have to say Pay it Forward, though I didn't read the book uuntil after I saw the movie.
