In the quest to create more content, Hollywood streamers are hitting the books
Remember when reading the book before the movie was a thing? Well, it’s practically impossible to keep up now.
With the combination of celebrity books clubs (Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Jenna Bush Hager and others each have one) and a seemingly endess number of streaming services looking for content, more books hitting the shelves these days are being optioned for TV and movies. And not just optioned, they’re actually getting made.
It’s a plus for both industries. For example, Hulu had a hit with “The Handmaid’s Tale,” then the Margaret Atwood book, originally released in 1985, took off again. “The Queen’s Gambit,” was a recent hit for Netflix, and once again put the 1983 novel back on people’s radar.
