Movie Book Adaptations Coming to Netflix in 2022 and Beyond
– Reviews News
Netflix has had great success in the past adapting popular works and that trend will continue. We're here to walk you through many of Netflix's upcoming book adaptations that will specifically be made into movies slated for release in 2022 or beyond.
The last time we covered upcoming Netflix book adaptations was in 2019 and there was a lot to cover back then, but now it's gotten ridiculous! We'll only be talking about the book adaptations of confirmed movies and not the TV shows (which we'll cover in a separate article) or just the books Netflix has picked up (we'll cover that separately too!).
Now, in particular, we'll exclude comics (with one notable exception) from this list, as we've covered them in a separate preview article.
Blond
Coming to Netflix: 2022
Andrew Dominik's Blonde has been in the works for a long time, having been adapted from Joyce Carol Oates' novel about a fictionalized version of the life of Hollywood actress and model Marilyn Monroe.
the gray man
Coming to Netflix: July 2022
Netflix's big summer movie directed by the Russo Brothers is actually based on a novel and it's also pretty iconic. Of course, we are referring to the book written by Mark Greaney.
The film, which will premiere on Netflix on July 22, is one of Netflix's biggest to date, with a budget of $200 million.
Mr. Harrigan's phone
Ryan Murphy teams up with Jason Blum to adapt this short story from Stephen King. It's a horror movie set to hit Netflix later in 2022 (likely for Halloween).
It stars Donald Sutherland, Jaeden Martell and Joe Tippett and is adapted by John Lee Hancock.
Nimona
Previously in development at 20th Century Fox, this adaptation of Noelle Stevenson's novel Nimona (which was a webcomic before it was a novel) was apparently lost after the studio behind the title shut down.
Then in early 2022 came the news that Netflix would relaunch the project and release it as an exclusive.
The animated feature, directed by Nick Bruno and Troy Quane, is about a troublesome young shapeshifter who is the partner of supervillain Lord Ballister Blackheart and together they work to stop Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin and the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroism. .
persuasion
Conceived as a modern adaptation of Jane Austen's novel Persuasion, this film hails from MRC with Dakota Johnson and Henry Golding playing the roles of Anne Elliot and Mr. Elliot respectively.
It will be released in July 2022 and has been talked about a lot.
Astronaut
Adam Sandler will play Jakub in this sci-fi adventure film which adapts the Czech book by Jaroslav Kalfar, bohemian astronaut.
Not slated to hit Netflix until 2023, the film tells the story of an orphan boy who grows up in the Czech countryside and overcomes all odds to become his country's first astronaut.
Paul Dano, Carey Mulligan and Isabella Rossellini will join Sandler.
The murderer
David Fincher will bring to life this adaptation of Alexis Nolent's comic book series available as a full graphic novel (which is why we're including it in this list) and will star Michael Fassbender and Tilda Swinton.
The plot of the globetrotting film revolves around a killer who begins to snap as he develops a conscience while hunting his prey and wants to get out.
The wonderful story of Henry Sugar
One of many Roald Dahl adaptations in the works is a live-action film directed by Wes Anderson that stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Dev Patel, Ralph Fiennes and Ben Kingsley.
ugly
McG directs this adaptation of Scott Westerfeld's novel with writing by Krista Vernoff.
Here's what you can expect from the film, which wrapped filming in late 2021:
"Set in an Orwellian future in which teenagers undergo surgery on their 16th birthdays to become fashion models, the story follows Tally Youngblood, an 'ugly' teenager forced by the authorities to give up her transformation until 'she infiltrates The Smoke, a community of rebels who choose to keep their looks and live outside of normal society. »
