Books to Movies 2016

Looking ahead to this year in books being turned into movies, we have some classics being brought to the screen as well as some newer thrillers. In March, Veronica Roth’s 3rd book in the Divergent trilogy, Allegiant, comes to the screen.  March also brings us Roald Dahl’s BFG directed by Steven Spielberg.  In April we see a remake of Kipling’s Jungle Book with some famous voices behind the characters such as Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray, and Ben Kingsley.  In October we’ll see Patrick Ness’ A Monster Calls and Girl on a Train.  November 2016 Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them comes to theaters.  Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children with Asa Butterfield, Eva Green, Chris O’Dowd, Terence Stamp, Allison Janney, Rupert Everett, Judi Dench, and Samuel L. Jackson make a star-studded cast.
