This month's rotating display in the library features books that have been made into movies, and I included both Beastly and I Am Number Four
Here are the unnecessary changes I found in just the two and a half minute trailer alone:
* The witch is blond (not to mention played by one of the Olsen twins) and thin and beautiful, instead of, well, not any of that.
* Beast is not furry, but is instead completely hairless and has weird tattoos (or something) all over his body
* Beast rescues Beauty from danger and takes her into captivity instead of taking her as his prisoner in exchange for not calling the cops on her attempted-home-robbery-druggie-father
* Beast grows a rose garden (on his roof instead of in his yard) for Beauty once she arrives, instead of growing it for himself, prior to her arrival
And yet...and yet all of my anger over these changes dissolved when what to my wondering eyes should appear, but Neil Patrick Harris as the tutor. Swoon!
*I'd been planning to read it anyway, but when it was delivered to my faculty mailbox with a note requesting I read it as soon as possible, how could I decline?
