Christian Bale Question

How many of his livres are based on movies?

Also, if toi know, what are the names of the books? I was just wondering, cos I wanted to get the full background to some of his films but couldn't figure out if there was a book with them

Oh whoops ... I mean films based on books, not livres based on films .. silly me

Christian Bale  meilleure réponse

Ashley-Green said:
Okay, to my knowledge there are 22 livres which his films are based on:

cœur, coeur of the Country (Fay Weldon)

Metroland (Julian Barnes)

Portrait of a Lady (Henry James)

American Psycho (Bret Easton Ellis)

Captain Corelli’s Mandolin (Louis De Bernieres)

El Maquinista – the machinist – ( ?) This one I think is only in Italian, but I'm not sure

All the Little animaux (? Walker) I can't remember ths guys first name, sorry

The Prestige (Christopher Priest)

Terminator: Salvation (movie Novelisation)
and a prequel: From the Ashes

Little Women (Louisa May Alcott)

Treasure Island (Robert Louis Stevenson)

A Midsumer Night’s Dream (William Shakespeare)

Henry V (William Shakespeare)

Public Enemies (?) plus of a factual book, but still interesting, though the author's name escapes me

A Murder of Quality (John Le Carre)

Howl’s Moving château (Diana Wynne Jones)

The Secret Agent (Joseph Conrad)

Mary, Mother of Jésus – The Bible (I think that counts, as that would be what the film is based on)

Mio, My Son (Astrid Langden) A children's book, originally in Swedish, though I don't know if it's been translated

The Prince of Jutland / Royal Deceit was based on the Chronicles (of Saxo Grammaticus) which Shakespeare based his "Hamlet" on, but as the chronicles themselves are innaccessable (I haven't found them anywhere), Hamlet will have to do

Killing Pablo (Mark Bowden)

Also, there is a pick somewhere on this club which has most of these in it, but I guess toi haven't seen it :)

Hope that helps!! It was actually pretty easy for me to answer this, as I have a word doc on my computer with alist of the livres I want to buy on it .. I just added the ones I own and .. Presto!
