My guess is 2 and a half hour movie. Scenes will be like the book going back and forth, and they’ll cut a lot of filler chit chat he has with rocky. You could skip the language barrier parts with a montage or a “months later” type thing.
When I watch a movie based off a book though. I will NEVER compare the two and treat them as two completely different things. Makes media more enjoyable that way.
“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “The Shining” are the two times that an excellent book has been turned into an excellent movie by deviating from the book to create something that’s well suited to be on the screen and they both are good.
“The Shawshank Redemption” is the one time that an excellent book* has been turned into an excellent movie by sticking to the source material and just doing a good job bringing it to life.
In all other cases the movie is a pale imitation, if the book was any good. Just put the book out of your mind and watch the movie, it’s a movie.
I actually rephrased my statement and made it in the exact way that I did because of the Lord of the Rings. The movies are excellent, easily good enough to be masterpieces by Hollywood standards, but they are still a pale imitation of the original.
Seems like a lot to squeeze into a movie but I’ll definitely be checking it out
Yeah, I can’t see how you cram all that into 2 hours. Stuff will get cut.
My bet is that a lot of the earth stuff and waking up in space stuff will get truncated to hell.
