3 Books to Binge-Read Before They Get the Movie Treatment in March

"First published in French in 1943, The Little Prince is a charming parable about an alien boy who crashes to earth that it's hard to believe it hasn't ever been made into an animated film—until now. The movie is not a straight adaptation, but I suspect its creativity and imagination—not to mention voice 'appearances' by Jeff Bridges, James Franco, and Rachel McAdams—would make author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry proud."

"Not to be mistaken for the book of the same name by David Shafer, the movie Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is based on this memoir by journalist Kim Barker, which chronicles the time she spent reporting in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Given the sober subject matter, you might expect an equally sober cast. Instead, Barker is played by Tina Fey! It's a tall order to put a comedic stamp on this story, but I'm confident that she'll pull it off."

"An eerie, captivating mystery of time jumps and very special characters. It could (and hopefully will) make an amazing movie of suspense and special effects, and if anyone can pull it off, Tim Burton is certainly the man to do it."
