                When a filmmaker is making a movie that is based off of a book, there are a lot of complications. The number one thing a filmmaker has to make happen is picking out actors that really understand their character and actually transform into that character. The next thing filmmakers have to understand the book and decide what is needed and what isn’t needed. This is difficult because if you cut out a certain part of the book, the audience will either be okay with it or get infuriated.

In the book “Fight Club” this is very difficult because there are so many small sections that play a big part in the book and it is also quite confusing at times. So the filmmaker has to keep the plot the same but also make sure it isn’t confusing.  It’s a difficult task. They also have to remember they can’t make it 3 hours long (Gone with the Wind), no one wants to sit through a movie that is that incredibly long.
