7. Mockinjay, Part 2 – I don't think I need to say much more
about this. (11/20/15 US release)
8. The Secret Scripture – does anybody else think this looks
fantastic? The premise of the story right up my alley and I've
already requested the book by Sebastian Barry. The film will star
Rooney Mara, Vanessa Redgrave, Eric Bana and Jeremy Irons.
(no release date yet)
9. Frankenstein – It's been done before but I doubt it's been done
like this and I cannot wait to see the film starring Daniel
Radcliffe as Igor and James McAvoy as Victor Frankenstein. For
me, the story has always been more about Doctor Frankenstein
than his monster…but maybe that's just me. (10/2/15 US
release)
10. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. If you are not excited about
this film then we simply cannot be friends. Seth GrahameSmith's alterations of Jane Austen's classic novel were fantastic
in my opinion and I am VERY eager to see what Lily James does
with this version of Elizabeth Bennett. (no release date yet)

Finally, I'd like to do a brief follow up on last month's article
regarding Tolkien, Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. NOTE:
There are some pseudo-spoilers in this paragraph! The kids and
I went to see The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies on opening day –
they were dressed as Bilbo and Thorin, of course. WE LOVED IT.
As disappointed as we were with Desolation of Smaug, the kids
and I could not have been more pleased with Battle of Five
Armies. Though there were loads of departures from the book it
did not seem to matter to any of us. The battles were intense,
actors phenomenal and costumes just stunning. Cate Blanchett
rocked her role as Galadriel in a showdown with the
Necromancer (aka Sauron) voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch
(who also voiced Smaug). The added bits actually helped
connect The Hobbit to Lord of the Rings for people who have
NOT read the books (least of all a heartbroken Thranduil
sending his son, Legolas, to find the Dunedain known as Strider
to aide him and learn his true name).
Violet Patterson, author of the Kindle Bestselling Emerald Seer
