One thing that has been evident lately in films is the increase of non classic books being made into films. Good examples of this recently would be Cloud Atlas, Silver lining's playbook, Perks of Being a Wall Flower, and Killing Them Softly. This makes it clear that book adaptations are no longer strictly based on overall popularity. Filmmakers have become more daring with their choice of script material, and making un popular books into popular movies. This has an indirect effect on the sales of such books, so overall its a good thing because it increases the sales of literature. Audiences desire to read the book and compare it to the movie. Whether filmmakers realize it or not they are anyway promoting literacy. This new trend is helped by the longer average duration of movies, which allows for more detail. The new emergence of movies based on novels seems to have a positive effect on different kinds of art, and seems to only be growing.
