A movie adaptation refers to a film that is based on or derived from another source, such as a book, play, short story, comic book, or even a true event. It involves taking the original work and transforming it into a visual format for the screen, while maintaining its core themes, characters, and plot points. The process of adapting a piece of literature to film can be challenging as it requires selecting which elements to include, condensing or altering storylines, and finding ways to translate written descriptions into visual representations. Movie adaptations come in various forms such as dramas, comedies, action films, romance movies among others depending on the genre of the original work.
