Oh happy dance! The Giver movie is in theatre's on August 15! I'm going to try to go see it opening night! Who else is planning to go see it?

I really want to, but I find that it's really unfaithful to the book… so I'll pass.

I feel the same way about how there are differences. You're talking 20+ years since the book was written and they're trying to target a broader audience. Since I re-read the book again last year (the first time I read it was in 1997 or 1998, I'm so OLD) I wondered how it would be as a movie. If I could make any book into movie and be the director/producer this one would be it. (This is ongoing from an old thread back in December of '13...)

Glad they are releasing it for you!

I guess I'll have to refresh myself on the book when I eventually see the movie...
