Must-read Books that Are Hitting the Big Screen This Year


The Zookeeper’s Wife by Diane Ackerman
Starring: Jessica Chastain and Johan Heldenbergh
Release Date: July 31, 2017

This true story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Ackerman artfully retells the story of Jan and Zabinski and how they used their zoo to save over three hundred people from the Nazis. After their zoo was bombed, they managed to hide people in animal cages, giving animal names to their guests and human names to their animals. This is one story we truly hope lives up to the hype (大肆宣传) on film.


The Lost City of Z by David Grann
Starring: Sienna Miller and Robert Pattinson
Release Date: August 14, 2017

Looking for adventure? This story is just what you need. The book (and film) tells the tale of British explorer Percy Fawcett and how he ventured into the Amazon jungle in 1925, never to return. It’s an enchanting mystery that we can’t wait to see play out on screen.


The Dinner by Herman Koch
Starring: Richard Gere and Rebecca Hall
Release Date: October 5, 2017

We always say we’d do absolutely anything for our kids, right? The story begins with two couples politely, eating dinner together, avoiding a conversation about their children who have committed a horrific act. As the story goes on, you’ll see just how far these parents will go to protect the ones they love.


The Circle by Dave Eggers
Starring: Emma Watson and Patton Oswalt
Release Date: November 28, 2017

A young woman, Mae, is hired to work for a powerful Internet company and feels like she’s hit the job jackpot. The facility is very advanced, lively, and a bit wild. Mae’s story begins as one of ambitions but soon turns into a heart-racing story of suspense (悬念).
