[QUOTE="Rob, post: 355576, member: 176677"] Most people say this but I wonder if it's true. Now people read the book before ever seeing the film as the simple fact is that the book comes out before the film, as film's are made from a book and not the other way round. Having read the book your mind remembers it as pictured in your brain especially if it was a book you enjoyed. Then out comes the film of the book which is not as you have pictured it, because someone else has done this, i.e the director. It's a bit like when someone "covers" a popular song everyone says that the original was the best and in most cases they are, but is that just because the remake is different to what you think it should be. I can't think of a remake that is better than the original but surely that can't be right. Going back to The DaVinci Code I saw the film first and that is how I picture it, but now I'm in the process of reading the book (I've not finished it yet) and am finding that the film is the better of the two as I find Dan Brown's writing does not flow very smoothly, even though very interesting.
