Adapting fantasy books to film is never easy.

These films serve as a warning to audiences and filmmakers alike: turning any great piece of literary fantasy into a full feature film is never an easy task.
9 The Giver In the bleak future of Lois Lowry's The Giver, society has abolished strife and preserves order through Sameness - the erasure of all emotion. Only the Receiver of Memory remembers emotions and history before Sameness - a role that the young boy Jonas prepares to receive in The Giver, which was awarded the Newbery Medal for children's literature.

In contrast, the reason why The Dark Tower movie failed is that it took inspiration not just from the eponymous novel, but from every book in author Stephen King's repertoire. The result is a surprisingly quick film that catastrophically fails to leverage the rich world, plot, and characters of King's sprawling Western sci-fi epic.
