Books are notoriously hard to make into movies though. Can be done, but often the cuts and changes are so drastic that the movie (or tv series) becomes just a shell of the book.

- WalterBright 3y agoShort stories are well suited to turning into movies.
- dylan604 3y agoMy favorite Stephen King adaptations were from his shorts vs novels. Shawshank and Stand By Me are deserted island movies for me. But I agree, short stories are just long enough to put a concept out there with just enough to establish characters, motives, plots, yet leave enough room to expand on for the movie version without conflicts from deviating from canon.
