For some reason, I got to thinking about Choices books and how I would see them being adapted in an alternate universe, and I wanna share some of my ideas:
It Lives - Movies. Theyād be set a couple of years apart so when you go to watch ILB youād be so happy seeing the kids from ILitW grown up. You should probably leave the children at home when you watch this one.
The Crown & The Flame - TV show. Yeah, easy, since itās canonically a show, but this wouldnāt be one of those shows on a streaming platform that drop an entire season in one day. TC&TF would be one of those shows youād have to watch week after week when each episode airs, and it would drive you crazy because they always end in cliffhangers.
Hero - Comic books, though I could also see it being an animated series.
Lovehacks - Movies. Maybe you wouldnāt have intended to watch them, but you felt like going to the cinema and that was a convenient one to watch, but you ended up really liking it and it got great reviews.
Perfect Match - Books turned Netflix movies. The books had a small, yet very consistent fan base, so they had Netflix adaptations, which got a lot of hype and really expanded the fandom.
The Freshman - Book series. Another canon one. Itād be one of those series that went on for ages, and even if you outgrew it as it went on, you stuck with it til the end because nostalgia.
Endless Summer - TV show. It might have been a book series before. Either way, people who tuned in to the show without knowing about it before were SHOCKED at the ending and had ES trending for like a week straight after the finale.
Open Heart - Show on a streaming service. Itās the kind youād binge without realizing how long it has been and by the end your concept of time is wack.
Rules of Engagement - Novels. They wouldnāt have a ton of following, but the author kept the story going, which leads us to:
The Royal Romance / The Royal Heir - Novels. Spin-off of RoE that got super successful and no one really saw it coming. Itāll probably get turned into a movie series, which will make it even more popular. A lot of people who watched it arenāt aware itās a spin-off because RoE isnāt talked about much in media. Every single blog post that lists ā15 things we bet you didnāt know about The Royal Romanceā probably starts off mentioning that itās a spin-off, getting people to read it out of curiosity.
Ride or Die - Movie. Made it surprisingly big so the screenwriters are scrambling to make a sequel while itās still trendy. It keeps getting pushed back and you donāt even know if itās still being made anymore.
Home for the Holidays - Movie on a streaming service. A Hallmark thing that was released during the holidays but got lost in a sea of other holiday movies that year.
Americaās Most Eligible - The Office-style mockumentary. It would maintain a reality TV feel while still letting viewers see all the drama that happens ābehind the scenesā. The internet is loaded with reaction gifs from the confessionals.
High School Story / High School Story: Class Act - Show on a streaming service. Theyād be advertised separately instead of as a show with six seasons. Season 3 of HSS:CA would most likely include a musical episode. Itās what you watch when youāre in the mood for something lighthearted.
Red Carpet Diaries - Movies. Would get a lot of promos because of all the big-name actors in them. A couple of the actors would get Oscar nominations for them, which they would probably not win, because the movies werenāt really poetic cinema.
A Courtesan of Rome - Show on a streaming service. Would almost certainly be the subject of many themed viewing parties. The internet is crushed when it doesnāt get a season 2.
The Elementalists - Books turned movies. Unfortunately, turning TE into movies meant losing plenty of the story for time purposes, which made the fans upset, especially since everyone knows which scenes would be prioritized in the final cut. You gotta feel bad for the actor who plays Beckett. Itās not his fault, but he still catches flak on social media.
Bloodbound - TV show. Generally stanned by audiences, though it gets problematic as it goes on. Cue Buzzfeed article: āWe Need To Talk About That Orgy In Last Nightās Bloodbound Episodeā
Anyway, I know those arenāt all the books, but theyāre the ones who came to mind while I was thinking about this. Hmu if youāve got any other takes.
