Why are so many people so obsessed with seeing books turned into other things.
Because, people don't know how to read. ;D
Well, that's one possibility.
I think it's also true that when people really, really like something, they have a hard time letting go of it. Making that well-loved book into a movie or a game or something lets us prolong our stay in that world.My husband and I were really into Peter Jackson's
The Lord of the Rings movies, and when they were over, we didn't want to stop being with those people. We watched all the special features on the DVD's, and believe me, there are a LOT of special features. And while they were interesting, and both of us tend to be insatiably curious, anyway, a lot of our watching them was just that we didn't want it to be over. When I finished the last book in the Harry Potter series, I immediately read it again. And then I read it again. I somehow couldn't bear to let go of Harry and Dumbledore, and having so many things finally make sense was also something I wanted to keep.Imagine reading all five volumes of the Witcher saga, then hearing from Sapkowski that there will be no more. You don't want it to stop -- you love this world and these characters too much. I know! We'll make a game, and then we can BE Geralt and LIVE in this world and let other people live there, too. *shrug* It works for me.
