Did everyone know The Giver was being made into a movie with Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges and fucking Taylor Swift?

Because I didn't.

MrsJenE · January 2014

I'm still pissed that Vampire Academy looks the way it does.

I just spent my entire 1st period looking at the imdb page and discussing this. I knew Jeff Bridges was in it, but I had no idea about TSwift, Meryl, and Katie Holmes. So random.

Yes I knew it was being made but I didn't know who was in it.

I think the casting for This is Where I Leave You is pretty perfect.

MrsJenE · January 2014

Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper are in the same movie AGAIN? This is the third one.

I have been wanting to read this book and I guess now I have a push.

I didn't realize The Maze Runner was going to be a movie. I hope they don't do the same thing with it that they are doing to every other YA series.

I had no idea this was being made at all. The casting seems super random. Taylor Swift? Really?

I was just coming here to post this! I didn't know some of these were being made into movies. My excitement over The Giver was killed and trampled by T.Swift. BLECH.

I think I even pictured Jason Bateman in my head when I was reading it.

Agree. Unless rave reviews come out, I doubt I'll see it.

If they leave the story as it is, it's a really minor character only shown in flashback. But who knows what they will do with it.

RevJen · January 2014

I really wanted to see The Monuments Men but I didn't realize it was a book first. I think I'm going to pick it up.

That's true. It's just weird seeing her name next to Meryl Streep's.

My thoughts EXACTLY! WHY CAN'T THIS GIRL JUST DISAPPEAR FOR A WHILE????? I hope they don't expand her role!

booknerd226 · January 2014

I'm excited about a lot of these. I've been saving Divergent to read closer to the release date. Is Shailene Woodley going to be in all the YA movies. Wasn't she just in something?

::Off to IMDB::

angelrx4 · January 2014

I had no idea Unbroken was being made into a movie. Directed by Angelina Jolie? This story is so beautiful and heartbreaking. I hope she does it justice.

@Young_Love @EliStar The whole project worries me because Lois Lowry is not connected with it at all. They invited her out to give suggestions and opinions, but she is not a consultant on the movie.

On the upside it's being directed by David Yates and produced by Harvey Weinstein. But still. No author affiliation at all? Worrisome.

I'm going to start a spoiler thread about this movie.

Did they bump the release of Serena from 2013? I read this last year and I swear it was because I saw it on one of these types of lists (which I love

). Maybe I'm mistaken and I found the rec elsewhere...

Am I the only one who thinks Taylor Swift is not THAT bad?

She did okay as a cartoon in the animated Lorax movie.

I didn't know it was a book until right now. The movie looks great though, so I will definitely look into the book.

I can't tell whether you are being facetious or not.

No. I'm sure Taylor Swift thinks she's amazing.

pinkybooklover09 · January 2014

A lot of these look really good! I saw the trailer for the Winter's Tale or whatevs with Colin Farrell and it looked like something I would love to see but not read. I still haven't read The Giver! I guess I should get on that this year!
