Movies Based on Books

This past weekend two movies based on books opened. Troy, starring Brad Pitt, is inspired by Homer's Illiad.

Ella Enchanted, starring Anne Hathaway of the Princess Diaries also opened and is based on the popular book Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine.

In this novel based on the story of Cinderella, Ella struggles against the childhood curse that forces her to obey any order given to her.

In the coming weeks, several other movies are opening based on books. The third Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkban, opens on June 4. It's based on the popular book by J.K. Rowling

During his third year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter must confront the devious and dangerous wizard responsible for his parents' deaths.

A remake of the Stepford Wives arrives in theaters on June 11. It's based on the book by Ira Levin.

For Joanna, her husband, Walter, and their children, the move to beautiful Stepford seems almost too good to be true. It is. For behind the town's idyllic facade lies a terrible secret -- a secret so shattering that no one who encounters it will ever be the same.
