Read the book, see the movie

Hollywood is dropping unique and faithful adaptations of classic fantasy and sci-fi literature. Directors like Nolan and Gerwig are sparking community buzz by reimagining beloved texts, and these apps can help you track every step of the process.

Everyone is rushing to reread classics and debate if the adaptation will live up to the book. Whether you need to catch up on Dune or revisit Panem, you’ll need a library and a discussion forum.

A trailer is the most effective way to grasp the aesthetic and atmosphere of these upcoming sci-fi and fantasy adaptations. Although some previews are still pending, checking out previous installments in these franchises can offer a glimpse of what to expect from the new releases.

In this exciting upcoming project, legendary director Christopher Nolan is applying his creative and technical mastery to turn the “unfilmable" story into the biggest IMAX event of the decade. The Odyssey has a star-studded cast to carry the Greek epic, and you have until July to brush up on your Homer.

21 years ago, the first Chronicles of Narnia film was released, becoming an instant classic. Now, A-list director Greta Gerwig is adapting the very first book in the saga to show us how Narnia began in the first place. Prepare for the upcoming release through a film marathon or by diving back into the original prose of C.S. Lewis.

Villeneuve returns to show the dark side of being a "Chosen One" in his version of the space opera. His soon-to-be trilogy has been widely successful, especially after Dune earned a reputation as impossible to adapt. Master the lore by reading the original books, rewatching Villeneuve's installments, or even revisiting David Lynch's earlier attempt.

The Hunger Games returns to the big screen with this anticipated prequel. Centered on the second Quarter Quell, the story explores the harrowing experiences that shaped Haymitch into a fan favorite. Make sure to read Suzanne Collins’ book, and keep an eye out for a cast that includes Mckenna Grace, Elle Fanning, Jesse Plemons, and Ralph Fiennes.

While you wait for the big premieres, dive into the latest from HBO's Westeros. When the big day arrives, ensure you've secured your ticket or have your preferred streaming app ready to go.
