Academy Award Nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay
And the candidates are: Bugonia (It is not based on a book, but based on the Korean movie “Save the Green Planet!”) frankenstein (Adapted from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus). hamnet (Adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s book of the same name). Battles continue one after another (Loosely based on Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland). and train dream (Based on the novel of the same name by Dennis Johnson). I was going to bet on Battles continue one after another That’s because it’s a very timely and dynamic cinematic experience, but when you think about the actual production process. hamnet This production stands out based on everything I’ve learned about Chloe Zhao’s experience navigating not only O’Farrell’s text but Shakespeare’s works as a writer, director, and someone still getting used to the English language. Really impressive. So far, I’m predicting hamnet For victory.
Banned books network that needs a variety of books
WNDB launched an effort to combat book banning and censorship in U.S. public schools and school libraries. Their Banned Books Network includes multiple tactics, including supporting authors affected by banned books and donating banned books to participating schools. Texas and Florida are among the states most affected by the bans and censorship targeted by the network. I am interested in how teachers and schools suffering from such bans circumvent their obligations in order to participate. WNDB posted an application for public schools interested in participating that included questions about student demographics, literacy rates, and local censorship activities.

Upcoming romance book to be made into a movie in 2026
If you need to watch something:
I hope you don’t have January all scheduled on your calendar. Heck, block everything for the winter of 2026. Pop some popcorn and drink a cold soda. Because it’s a romance movie adaptation and it’s refreshing. For romantics, there is nothing better than seeing your beloved on screen, even if it means heartbreak along with your favorite character.
