HE'S NOT THAT INTO YOU

What’s special about the new movie “He’s just not that into you” is that it is adapted from a SELF-HELP book entitled He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo.
So far we had :
Movies adapted from novels: Pride and prejudice followed by all the Jane Austen adaptations when the rights became public come to mind (hence the deluge of adaptations of Jane Austen novels).
Movies adapted from articles : The Insider (adapted from the Vanity Fair magazine article "The Man Who Knew Too Much" by Marie Brenner).
Movies adapted from the synopsis of a novel before the novel was even published: The horse whisperer (adapted from Nicholas Evans' novel).
Movies adapted from comic books: Batman, Superman, Spiderman... etc..
Movies based on a true story (grrrrrrrr) : The aviator, Frost/Nixon and zillions of films
Movies based on a memoir : Running with scissors (adapted from Augusten Burroughs’ memoir)
Movies based on a music album : The Wall, Tommy
Movies based on a toy : Transformers, Teenage mutant Ninja Turtles
Movies based on a poem: Beowulf
Movies based on a video game : Lara Croft, Wanted

BUT SO FAR AND AS FAR AS I KNOW

No movies based on a platypus
No movies based on a blender
No movies based on a pack of M&Ms
No movies based on a jingle
No movies based on foreign ear

BUT there has been movies about pretty much everything and everyone.... Think about it. Take 10 random words, for example:
flower, car, cat, photo, book, war, love, shoes, cell phone, food... you’ll see that for every word, there is a movie, not necessarily “based on” but a movie related to any of these words.
PS: By the way correct me if I’m wrong in the “No movies based on” department but remember that Tom Cruise is NOT a platypus, Meryl Streep and blender have nothing in common. a jingle is not a jungle and the rights to foreign ear are available !

Le nouveau film “He’s just not that into you” (titre français inconnu à ce jour mais "Casse-toi la meuf" ou "Je préfère Maman" viennent a l'esprit) est adapté d'un livre intitulé He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys by Greg Behrendt et Liz Tuccillo qui n' a rien d'un roman et appartient plutôt au genre Guide touristique.
Jusqu'à présent, on avait :
Film adapté d'un roman : Pride and prejudice suivi de toutes les adaptations récentes des romans de Jane Austen par exemple (plus de droits d'adaptation...)
Films adaptés d'articles : The Insider (adapté d'un article du magazine Vanity Fair "The Man Who Knew Too Much" par Marie Brenner).
Films adaptés du synopsis d'un roman avant même que le roman ne soit écrit: The horse whisperer (adapté du livre de Nicholas Evans).
Films adaptés de bandes dessinées : Batman, Superman, Spiderman... etc..
Films basés sur une histoire vraie (grrrrrrrr) : The aviator, Frost/Nixon et des zillions d'autres
Films basés sur des mémoires : Running with scissors (adapté du livre de Augusten Burroughs)
Films basés sur des albums musicaux : The Wall, Tommy
Films basés sur des jouets : Transformers, Teenage mutant Ninja Turtles
Films basés sur des poêmes : Beowulf
Films basés sur des jeux vidéos : Lara Croft, Wanted

MAIS (A MA CONNAISSANCE)

Pas de film basé sur un ornythorinque
Pas de film basé sur une tourniquette pour faire la vinaigrette
Pas de film sur un paquet de Smarties
Pas de film sur un slogan de pub
Pas de film adapté de foreign ear (snif)

MAIS on trouve des films sur tout et à peu près n'importe quoi. Prenez dix mots au hasard :
fleur, chat, photo, livre, guerre, amour, chaussures, mobile, nourriture...vous verrez qu'à chaque mot, il y a un film, pas forcément un film basé sur mais un film quand même.
PS: Corrigez moi si j'ai tort mais souvenez-vous que Tom Cruise n'est pas un ornythorinque, Meryl Streep et le mixeur n'ont rien en commun, un slogan de pub n'est pas un cardigan de plumes et que les droits de foreign ear sont disponibles !
