Q&A: Scary books to make into a movie with a 12 certificate.?
Question by LipstickJungle♥: Scary books to make into a movie with a 12 certificate.?
We need to read a book from the supernatural, horror or ghost story genre. Then we have to (from the sheet):
Imagine that Stephen Spielberg has made a announcement about a new competition for school age children in England. He would like to made a new spine-chilling film based on a story that young people have read. The film would be released with a 12 certificate (so not to much blood, gore, violence, sex ect. ect).
You need to write a letter to him in which you aim to convince him that your chosen story would make a good film.
🙂
Fyi. Im asking for the book, not the letter. (But the letter would be good if you can be bothered :p)
So yeah. Scary books, not to long, not to short, that i can do that with.
Thanks x
