Abstract
The preamble of cinema and film adaptations of literature have been thenceforward; the idiosyncratic subject has been long neglected in literary and film studies. There are cogent roots of fiction in the premise of the film. In every country where a film is made based on fiction, it becomes a success and does good business too. Therefore, producers consider making films based on literature to be profitable. The Oscars are one of the most prestigious awards in film, having originated in 1928. Since then, the award has also been given to the best film adaptation. Internationally famous and meritorious directors like William Wyler, Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, and David Fincher have made films based on fiction. These include famous films like Quiet of the Western Front, The Grapes of Wrath, A Letter of Three Wives, The Bicycle Thief, The Bridge on River Kwai, Ben Hur, The Godfather, Kramer Vs. Kramer, Das Boot, The Silence of The Lamb, Schinder’s List, Forrest Gump, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, No Country for Old Man, Slumdog Millionaire, Life of Pi. Fiction writers whose works have been made into films include well-known names like Henry James, DH Lawrence, James Joyce, EM Foster, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Earnest Hemingway, CM Foster, and James Jones. In this way, film adaptation has always been the priority choice of the audience and filmmakers. Along with this, it has also been accepted by fiction writers.
