Can You Recognise the Film From the Book Cover?

[NickFitz]

"A movie adaptation is rarely the first time someone gets to give a visual representation of a book. It is usually the cover illustrator who gets the job to draw how he thinks the story should look.

"However, as soon as a book is turned into a movie, the illustrator's work is usually thrown in the bin only to be quickly replaced by a "you've seen the movie... now read the book" approximation of the movie poster as a cover. But what about these early visualisations of the story : can you recognise the story from how the illustrators of the early editions thought they should look?"

Flick Books - Can you tell the movie from the book Cover?

I racked my brains over one in particular; it finally came to me several hours later, whereupon I realised I have the edition of the book with that design on the cover

I've got 7/20 so far

Don't write the answers here you numpty! They are available on the site!

I got 8/20 plus a couple of very close ones (couldn't remember the full title).

Great quiz!!

[MarillionFan]

A quick 7.

there is a very good book called YES MAN by Danny wallace in which he meets a man on a london bus who tells him to say YES more, so he does exactly that and says yes to every oppurtunity presented to him, this was made into a film called YES MAN starring Jim Carrey, forget about the book cover you would not recognize the book from the film or vise versa, although its not a bad film.

I understood the OP was asking for help.

No but you clearly need some.

[MrRobin]

I got about 5.

The PKD one was particularly obvious.

Only for people who knew that the film name is not the same name as the book...

@Arturo Bassick, I apologise for my outburst

That's changing now as published have realised that the movie tie-in covers are alienate serious readers who do not want to be seen reading the book-of-the-movie.
