YA Books Turning into Movies/TV

So is it just me or are a bunch of YA books being turned into movies or TV? There is already two movies based on YA books coming out this summer which most of you guys probably know one of the two I'm talking about; yep, I'm talking about Paper Towns by John Green which has been long anticipated. But also, there's Earl and Me and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews which also looks good and received some awards from Sundance Festival. In this post, I'm going talk about possible movie/TV adaptations coming up. And I have literally everything you need to know linked and they are not affiliated.

The Paper Town's trailer does look good and gosh, Cara Delevingne looks like an absolute goddess. Also, Nat Wolff looks adorable as well and it generally, just seems amazing and I'm super pumped for this movie.

Another great trailer, but less known is Earl and Me and the Dying Girl. It looks good and strays away from the stereotypical romance, immediately-fall-in-love cliche that people assume are in YA novels. This seems more heartfelt and deeper than Paper Towns and I'm excited for this as well.

Some other possible adaptations which has became an endless list. Honestly, the surge of adapting YA novels is really contributed by the Hunger Games which is probably the most successful one out there. There has been fails of course, like The Mortal Instruments and also, successes like Divergent and The Fault of Our Stars.

The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey is in the midst of adaptation with Chloe Grace Moretz (Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dark Shadows) playing Cassie, the main character (Source). Also, Elle Fanning (Maleficent and Super 8) was just cast for the main female character, Violet for the adaptation of the novel, All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven (Source). Another adaptation is Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs which is being directed by Tim Burton. It stars Ella Purnell as Emma (Never Let Me Go and Maleficent) and Asa Butterfield (Merlin, Ender's Game and Hugo) as Jacob. (Source). Another possible adaptation is Wither by Lauren DeStefano which is a dystopian novel and this shocked me because I haven't heard much buzz about this book and I read it as well. But I looked up the possible adaptation, apparently, the author denied a renewal so it is not happening. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is in the midst of being produced and they haven't got a cast  yet, but Summit Entertainment has picked it up so cross your fingers if you're hoping for an adaptation (Source). Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi is also in the midst of being created, it was picked up by 20th century Fox and currently, going through the process. If there was a movie coming out for Shatter Me, I would be supremely excited. Matched by Ally Condie, a dystopian novel similar to Delirium was picked up by Disney (Source). Another adaptation forming is Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor which is really exciting and that has been picked up by Universal Studios (Source). This one I'm personally super psyched about which is Smoke and Bone by Leigh Barbado which Dreamworks acquired the rights and it will be produced by the same producer of Harry Potter (Source). The Lunar Chronicles' by Marissa Meyers rights have been acquired by a studio and it is kept a secret (Source). And finally, Legend by Marie Lu has been picked up by CBS Films and the producer of Twilight is producing it and the director of 50/50 will direct it (Source).

Books are also being adapted to TV shows as well. ABC Family picked up The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare has a new show for the 2016 and has already assembled the cast (Source). It is called Shadowhunter.

Comment below, telling me which adaptations you guys are the most excited for!
