As of right now, there are no plans for any Abbi Glines novels to be made into films, but the author does have a strong fan base for works such as Breathe and Because of Low. We will post updates from the author’s official site, as well as her publisher’s, on any adaptations.

I feel like I already have the perfect adaptation of The Ten Thousand Doors of January in audiobook form. Rebecca Soler does an incredible job as Evangeline and Jacks. Sometimes I think the best way to adapt a story is to leave the visuals to the reader’s imagination. It can be even more powerful than any CGI. Not every great story needs to be translated to screen with all of the inner thoughts and magical nuances of the story. Most of the time, there would be too much pressure to include everything. The way I feel about the audiobooks is that they are complete just the way they are. A film would be fun, but it wouldn’t be the same as having the audiobooks and being able to imagine things for myself. In a way, I’m already satisfied.

As for movie adaptations, I am equally unaffected. By and large, they are a gamble and I have yet to read a really great one as opposed to lots of really awful ones that have annoyed the original fans. There are so many things that can be changed in a book to make it ‘work’ on film and rarely are they for the better. Often a character’s motivation will be altered and a crucial scene removed. The inner world of a protagonist and the way they converse with other characters is usually a writer’s main tool and that can be very difficult to get right on screen. I personally would be happy to stick with perfect books rather than risk sub-standard films.

I've dug deep into vampire lore across media, and 'Kindred' stands out as a groundbreaking novel, but it hasn't leaped to the big screen yet. The story's rich psychological depth and time-travel elements would make an incredible film, but rights and adaptation hurdles might be the reason. Fans have been clamoring for it, especially after Octavia Butler's works gained more mainstream attention. While waiting, check out 'Daughters of the Dust' for similar thematic richness—it captures the same haunting beauty of ancestral ties. Hollywood's slow to adapt complex stories like this, but with the right director, it could be a masterpiece.

This could be one of those few films that work well as a silent. All visual storytelling, lots of expressive acting, and then title cards for the few key lines of dialogue. It would be an interesting artistic choice, but I’m sure zero producers would ever actually make that choice.

And what if the best way to realize this story was as a stage play? Minimal set, focus on the actors and the words, the boxes could be made of cardboard and paper. The changes of time could be indicated by a change of lighting and costumes. The intimate and philosophical character of the dialogue would in a theater be highlighted in all its aspects. The audience could even be given a small box or a piece of string when they arrive, and so become part of the play.
Every story doesn’t need to be a big film. Some stories will thrive in a much smaller, more imaginative space. The ideas in Passage can be had directly by an audience in a theater, without resorting to the paraphernalia of spectacle normally used in film to ease the burden of dialogue-heavy stories. The play could have a great off-Broadway run or even a run in London’s West End, and then later a more adventurous film version made of it. Sometimes scaling down is the best way to do justice to a story.

A movie of Westworld would need to dumb down the politics and magic of the show in order to reach a broader audience. The series already walks a fine line in explaining complex themes to its viewers without condescending to them. A reboot of Westworld would have an even harder time approaching the topic in the same way. As a fan of the series, I would prefer that HBO not make a watered-down version of it at all. The series is currently sufficient to me.

Both the novel and the film are beautifully ambiguous at the ending. It is left to us to wonder whether our protagonist has finally found safety or if he has merely found a new way to be consumed by his fixations. Any sequel would have to answer this question for the reader, and sometimes the answer to a question is less powerful than the question itself. I want to cherish those stories that allow me to sit with my feelings of unease for a while longer. Not knowing is all. Thus while I may wish the author to continue his protagonist’s story in some form, there is much to be said for a writer’s resisting the temptation to do so and letting that perfect silence stand as it is: unsettling and beautiful in equal measure. It is a more mature choice.

Just finished the last chapter of Lockwood & Co. and I can confirm that I'm reading exactly the same words as you right now. Miles Cameron seems to have gone quietly back to whatever he was doing before Lockwood, and there's been no mention of a direct sequel (which I rather think was a natural ending for the characters). I gather he writes in different worlds, so he's probably moved on to a new story by now. But (fingers crossed!) maybe he'll drop some hints on his social media. Have you seen any of his interviews recently? Often authors mention things in interviews that aren't mentioned in the later official announcements. So, this is a waiting game, and until he writes another book as fabulous as this one, I'll just have to haunt Cameron's online presence. A sequel would definitely be an instant pre-order for me.

'Don't Believe It' by Charlie Donlea caught my eye. As far as I know, there's no movie adaptation yet, which is surprising given its gripping plot. The book follows a documentary filmmaker unraveling a decade-old murder case, full of twists perfect for the big screen. Hollywood loves courtroom dramas mixed with true crime vibes—this one’s ripe for adaptation. Maybe a streaming platform will pick it up soon; the layered storytelling and unreliable narrator would translate brilliantly visually.
Fans keep speculating online, but no official announcements have surfaced. The author hasn’t hinted at any deals either. Still, the book’s structure—switching between trial transcripts and present-day investigations—feels cinematic. If adapted, it could rival hits like 'Gone Girl' with its suspenseful pacing. Until then, we’ll have to settle for re-reading those jaw-dropping final chapters.
