Hollywood often takes popular literary work and turns
them into cinematic masterpieces.
Therefore, some of the greatest movies of all-time have been adapted
from a few of the most popular books; be it Gone Girl, The Shawshank
Redemption, or To Kill a Mocking Bird. These films then go on to become so
popular that people often tend to forget that they were originally adapted from
books. Here is a list of popular movies you never expected were based on books:
