You might find plenty of Movies based on Books. But only a few of these Books to Movies Adaptations are worth watching. Every year number of books based movies get released but only a few of them get the public love and attention. Because books to movies adaptations is a very critical topic to talk about.
Most of the time, book readers are not satisfied with the actors playing those specific characters of their favorite books. Other times they complain that the story plot of the book was better than it is in movies. And there are times when the audience just doesn’t like the movies based on novels/books. Because they think it just ruined their imagination about what they were thinking about that specific book.
But I think every year few blockbuster books based movies come out and shut every critic’s mouth. And today we are going to talk about the upcoming movies based on books which are worth waiting for. So, without any further ado let’s get to the list of best upcoming books based movies!
1- DUNE
Coming Out on October 22, 2021
Cast: Rebecca Ferguson, Jason Momoa, Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet.
You can buy this best selling right away at AMAZON.
All the Science Fiction fans, are you ready? Because the famous series in the sci-fi category is coming out on our big screens. Dune is a sci-fi novel by Frank Herberts and is loved and admired by many people out there. Dune is a mythic and magical journey of a gifted young man entrusted with the protection most valuable assets of Galaxy.
You will find this brilliant young man traveling to the most dangerous places of the universe to protect his family and honor. Dune is full of honorable families conflicts in the interstellar society and fights over the precious element of the universe. The storyline of Dune has all the thrilly drama related to politics, religion, technology, and human emotions. I think we are going to love this movie because from Characters’ choices to tech costumes to amazingly ruined universe, everything seems so perfect here.
Is Dune 2021 a remake?
In a sense, you can call Dune 2021 a remake but it is really not. In 1984, Director David Lynch adapted the book Dune into a Movie. That movie is actually really fun to look at. The costumes, the bizarreness of the universe, and green crampy scenes were not that bad to look at.
But the DUNE 2021 is much more than the DUNE 1984 movie. The trailer has shown us some pretty amazing clips of what we should expect from this book-to-movie adaptation.
Herbert also wrote five sequels: Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune.

2- THE STARS AT NOON
Coming out at the end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022.
Cast: Taron Egerton, Margaret Qualley.
Buy the Best Selling Novel The Stars At Noon on AMAZON.
I don’t know why I feel so disappointed while writing about this book-based movie. But I think it’s because Taron Egerton replaces Robert Pattinson in Claire Denis’s long-awaited Denis Johnson adaptation of The stars at Noon.
Yes, you hear it right, unfortunately, all the Robert Pattinson fans will not see their Edward Collin on the big screen this time. And the role has been awarded to the Taron aka Kingsman. Denis Johnson Novel “The stars at Noon” is a thriller love story of a hideous American Journalist and an English businessman. The story is full of passion, love, fear, and betrayal between the two headstrong characters.
The movie will be set in the political conflicts and violence of the 1980s Nicaragua time when the fights between leftist Sandinista revolutionaries and US-backed counter-revolutionaries were at their peaks. Amongst this political chaos, two individuals of different nationalities will meet and entangled themselves in the sinister plots with each passing day.
3- DEATH ON THE NILE
Coming Out on February 9, 2022.
Cast: Gal Gadot, Kenneth Branagh, Armie Hammer, Letitia Wright.
While waiting for the movie, you can enjoy reading this gem. Buy it now on AMAZON.
If Detective, investigation, murder witnesses, and unexpected twists are your thing, then this book-to-movie adaption is exactly for you. Death On The Nile is written by famous author Agatha christie whose novels never disappointed us. this is not the first time that Agatha christie’s work is adapted to screenplay. Before this, a television series named Poirot was also a book-to-screen play adaptation of Christie’s work which aired on ITV from 1989 to 2013.
Also, in 1978, Death of The Nile was released as a movie by director John Guillermin. This means this is the second time Death on the Nile is being made into a film. The Death on the Nile revolves around the murder of a young heiress. The novel/story is based on a critical investigation by Detective Hercule Poirot who on his vacation on a cruise came across this gruesome murder case.
Are there any Agatha Christie’s movies on NETFLIX?
If you are done watching every top category movie on Netflix and looking to watch something interesting while waiting for Death On The Nile, then go and look into that “Hidden Gem” category. This is where you will find “Agatha and The Truth of Murder”. This movie is basically a major cross between the Enola Homes and Death On The Nile.
4- AFTER WE FELL
Coming Out in September 2021.
Cast: Josephine Langford, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Carter Jenkins.
You can buy the whole After Series on AMAZON.
After is not a new name for all those books-to-movies adaptation overs. The toxic yet steamy relationship between Hardin and Tessa made their fan swooning over them and at the same time, the fans feel like pulling their hair out. After the movie/book which was the first in the series was based on the beginning of the relationship and trust between Tessa and Hardin. The second book/movie After we collided continued the rollercoaster-like relationship between two characters. And now the third movie named AFTER WE FELL revolves around the struggles of both characters to save their relationship which is on the verge of breaking, due to the hideous secrets of their families coming out now and then.
Basically After started as Harry styles fanfiction by Anna Todd on Wattpad. Will their relationship survives this family chaos? Will Tessa ever be able to choose between Hardin and her career? For the answers, we must wait for the movie. But if you are impatient like me, buy the books now Amazon link above or you can read for free on WATTPAD.
5- DEEPWATER
Coming out at the beginning of 2022.
Cast: Ana de Armas, Ben Affleck.
Buy this Psychological Erotic thriller now on AMAZON.
Written by Patricia High Smith, Deep Water is an erotic thriller and is gonna be one of the best movies based on books. Reading Deep Water keeps me on the verge because of its plot twists, psychological thrill, and erotic eeriness. And I know the movie will also be full of the same thrill and suspense.
This dangerously psychotic Book is about an open relationship between a married couple. In this loveless relationship, the wife is allowed to date and have a relationship with anyone she wants as long as she doesn’t desert her family and home. But soon the well-to-do husband started getting jealous of his wife’s love affairs. The thrill starts when her husband engaged himself in erotic murders of her lovers just to win her back.
