While the stories that these great authors have written are immortal in their own right, the lives of these writers themselves are often so much stranger than fiction, and these stories are just as worthy of adaptation as the fiction they created. Modern writers draw inspiration from a legion of storytellers that came before, sometimes adapting their works, characters, and settings into beautiful modern retellings, and sometimes utilizing storytelling techniques and conventions that were first seen within the pages of their works. It is easy to forget, however, that our stories were not always delivered on the silver screen. As film enthusiasts, we are treated to an almost limitless buffet of content that can help us laugh, cry, think, and escape for a few hours at a time. Talented filmmakers work tirelessly to deliver entertainment that is exciting, relevant, and valuable to all kinds of audiences. In modern times, that takes the form of movies and television, with talented actors and actresses portraying the characters in all forms of fiction, from big budget blockbusters to bizarre and artistic offerings that can make audiences think for weeks on end. Great stories have always thrilled and fascinated humankind.
