Post 4- Adapting book2

So I'm reading The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum, this book is a spy themed novel about a man who was found by some sailors in the Mediterranean Sea. He has no recollection of where he is or even who he is. Then e wakes up on a small island in the care of a drunken doctor....... So this man was found in the sea and no one knows who or where he came from, He's half dead, and has no memory. Great? Not so much because apparently his past that he can't remember came with some freaky baggage....... He has a lot of people after him to kill him- but doesn't remember any of them- and he also has super-fast fighting reflexes. So basically he is on this journey right now trying to figure out who he is and stay alive.

So first of all this would be a great TV show adaptation because of the mystery and length of the book. You could even split the various books in the series into cliff hanging seasons that all lead up to one finally.

5 most important decisions:

1. The first major thing you would need to put into the show is the dramatic tone that is in the book. Without making it cheesy of course, Bourne (the main character) is constantly facing danger and fighting with himself to try to remember so the show would need to have that dramatic feel in order to make the tone of danger and confusion present.

2.  You would also need to create Bourne's role as was in the novel. Bourne is a mysterious man who has unbelievable reactions to danger. His role is what makes the Bourne Identity what it is. His skills are what makes every situation in the book and now in the TV series  exhilarating and a cliffhanger in  every show to the viewers.  So by saying true to his character in the book and incorporating that into the TV series you will attract more of the fans of the book when you incorporate his role versus if you were to change his character in the TV series.

3. Another very important decision when thinking about making the board and identity into a TV series is the distribute Tatian of the events the book throughout the series. There are several events in the book that make the book what it is and I feel thatyou can stretch that throughout the several series of the show.The most important scenes from the book will be incorporated into the several series with additions of new characters and new plots a new many issues or problems the board has to figure out throughout the show's.

4. Another key character would be the doctor. The one who born falls in love with in the book, she was very important in the book and will continue in the TV series to be just as important with helping foreign figure out who he is and why he's there and helping him overcome Carlos and fight. In the in the TV show she will be more of a main character in the viewers will get to see her side of the story as well as Florence and what she goes through in fighting Carlos and solving the mystery of Bourne.

5.with the series they will need to be a specific feel that the audience recognizes from the book to be incorporated into the TV series. There needs to be a sense of danger excitement and illusion. Will be background music throughout that will give that feel of danger and the illusion of someone always watching just like in the book. This will make sure that the TV series,  all giving a new perspectives of the book will stay true still in most sense bringing the audience and the fans of the book to become excited about the new series.
