George Clooney in The Descendants (2011)

FAQ

The Descendants

FAQ



    Yes, many. Famous examples include Gone with the Wind (1939), or, more recently, Let the Right One In (2008) and The Help (2011).

    Yet another example is the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird (1962), the first novel written by Harper Lee. The movie adaptation of the same name was released in 1962, winning an Oscar for "Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium" for screenwriter Horton Foote.
