Don't judge a book by its movie cover #4

The film was based on the best-selling book, and now the book is sold with images of the adaptation emblazoned on its the cover. It’s an endless cycle of one capitalizing on the success of the other. 

Here are some examples of original book covers, and the replacement movie poster versions. What are your views? Does the movie poster demonstrate what the book is all about? Does the new art do the original story justice? Are the famous faces likely to have a positive impact on book sales?

  1. Hmmm... I've not seen Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close but the film did an excellent job using the novel cover to draw in moviegoers. Whether or not it's complimentary to the movie/story, I don't know. =)
