Instead of a military intervention, Spielberg decided to have the T. Rex return to save the protagonists from a Velociraptor attack. I think the star of this movie is the T. Rex, Spielberg explained at the time. The audience will hate me if the T. Rex doesnt come back for one more heroic appearance. The book and movies body counts vary, too. By the end of the novel, John Hammond has died, and it is implied that Ian Malcolm has as well. Both survive in the movie. On the other hand, the parks game warden, Robert Muldoon, and Ig.

This telling omitted the final chapter of the book, focused on Alex after he is rehabilitated. Though he grows out of his murderous tendencies in Burgess text, in Kubricks interpretation, Alex remains as psychotic as ever. Kubrick didnt like the tales original ending he felt it was entirely too optimistic given the storys tone and themes. I think whatever Burgess had to say about the story was said in the book, Kubrick said. But I did invent a few useful narrative ideas and reshape some of the scenes. Burgess was not a fan of the final product. The book I am best known for, or only known for, is a novel I am prepared to repudiate written a quarter of a century ago, Burgess later recalled. It became known as the raw material for a film which seemed to glorify sex and violence. The film made it easy for readers of the book to misunderstand what it was about, and the misunderstanding will pursue me until I die. Fight Club. The film version of Fight Club remains faithful to author Chuck Palahniuks original plotuntil the very end, that is. Jango Fett Open Seasons 3. The movie version wraps up as the narrator, standing beside Marla, watches a series of explosions caused by his now absent alter ego, Tyler Durden. At the end of the book, however, the narrator wakes up in recovery from his gunshot wound. He thinks hes in heaven, but Palahniuk makes it clear that hes actually in a mental institution. Several hospital attendants ask him when hes going to start Project Mayhem again, inferring that Tyler Durden is still very much a part of him. Director David Fincher explained his choice by arguing that the book was too devoted to the narrators alter ego I wanted people to love Tyler Durden, but I also wanted them to be OK with his vanquishing. The Scarlet Letter. Nathaniel Hawthornes novel The Scarlet Letter is an exploration of guilt, punishment, and mob mentality in 1. New England. At the end of the classic tale, the townspeople persecuting Prynne learn that the father of her baby is Reverend Dimmesdale, who eventually dies from immense guilt. The 1. 99. 5 film version of The Scarlet Letter opted instead for a happy Hollywood ending read no one dies. Instead, Reverend Dimmesdale and Hester Prynne leave their town in order to build a new life together. Breakfast at Tiffanys. Truman Capotes beloved novella was also given a simplified and sanitized Hollywood ending. In the book, Holly Golightly loses her cat and abandons New York for Argentinaits unclear where the free spirit will end up next. The movie, on the other hand, ends with Audrey Hepburns Holly reuniting with Cat and sharing a passionate kiss with neighbor Paul. Theres no romance between them in Capotes version. Capote wasnt a fan of the movie based on his work, nor of the casting of Audrey Hepburn. I had lots of offers for that book, from practically everybody, Capote said in an interview. And I sold it to this group at Paramount because they promised things, they made a list of everything, and they didnt keep a single one. My Sisters Keeper. Jodi Picoults My Sisters Keeper tells the story of a young leukemia patient named Kate, whose parents conceive another daughter, Anna, in order to have an organ donor for their firstborn.

Kate ends up succumbing to her illness after she refuses to accept her sisters organs. Cassevetes believed his movies ending was more accurate after he visited pediatric hospitals and talked to terminally ill patients. Going and visiting people in the hospital, this story repeated over and over and over again, Cassevetes told About. In reality, none of these stories ended like the book did. The Mist. Stephen Kings The Mist ends on a vague notea few survivors head towards the source of a mysterious radio transmission as the titular mist creeps around them. But director Frank Darabont decided to give the film a more definitiveand more gut wrenchingconclusion. David, played by Thomas Jane, comes to realize that the groups survival efforts are futile. To prevent any further suffering, he kills the remaining survivors, including his son, just before the military shows up to inform him that the situation is now under control. How primitive do people get Darabont said of his new ending. Its Lord of the Flies that happens to have some cool monsters in it. King, for his part, gave the new ending two thumbs up The ending is such a joltwhamIts frightening. But people who go to see a horror movie dont necessarily want to be sent out with a Pollyanna ending. The Lorax.
