Every year there are a multitude of movies that are adaptations of books that have already been written, and 2025 is no exception. This year ahead, there are many books that many fans have waited years to have on the big screen, for either the first time or a new remake.
One of the first most awaited movie adaptations is The People We Meet On Vacation by Emily Henry. As someone who is friends with many readers, especially young adult lovers, I know many fans have been long awaited by this movie. It will star Emily Bader and Tom Blythe. These two actors have received a lot of recognition in the past few years for The Hunger Games and My Lady Jane. Many believe this movie will be extremely popular and spark people to read the books.
Another movie adaptation is Verity by Colleen Hoover. This is the second year in a row that one of Colleen Hoover’s books will be turned into a movie. Colleen Hoover is renowned for her romance books that are extremely popular among teenage girls, which means that this movie is expected to be a hit with teenagers. The movie It Ends With Us was incredibly popular among the many teen girls who read the books, which is why people are assuming that Verity will do just as well.
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is up for another remake this year. Netflix has taken on the role of making the newest remake of Mary Shelley’s infamous book. This movie has had a little backlash due to people not agreeing with the cast. For example, Jacob Elordi has been cast as the monster, which people believe is too mainstream to be a good fit for the role of the monster. Overall, many people are not excited about this movie, but it may surprise you!
Finally, the third season of The Summer I Turned Pretty show will be coming out this year, based on the third book of the series. The Summer I Turned Pretty is a book series by Jenny Han, with the show’s first season which came out in 2022. Ever since it was released it has become extremely popular, with people binge-watching the shows and beginning to read the books. This third season will be the final one, as it was the last book of the series, which only makes the wait more exciting.
Overall, 2025 is no different than recent years, with the immense amount of books that will be put onto the big screen. Book lovers and movie watchers are all anticipating this year’s new movies, as they countdown the days until they are out on screen.
