Films inspiring bestsellers
A clutch of acclaimed big-screen adaptations are spawning huge new sales of the novels that inspired them, notes the Telegraph. Forget the award for best actor, best actress and even best film. The real winners of the coming movie awards season are not even involved in the industry.
The release of a string of highly acclaimed films based on novels is providing a multi-million-pound bonus for the authors. Films including Atonement, The Kite Runner, The Golden Compass, No Country for Old Men and There Will be Blood are generating hundreds of thousands of additional book sales.
