November is shaping up to be the most exciting month for adaptations. It has my top three most anticipated adaptations of 2025 releasing and I can’t wait. It feels like we haven’t had any interesting adaptations recently (please stop adapting Colleen Hoover’s books into films, she sucks), so the three I’m talking about today are coming at the perfect time.
The Mighty Nein
I think this might be the most excited I have been for a TV show ever. No offence to Vox Machina, but The Mighty Nein are a far more interesting group. Plus, I never watched campaign one (and likely never will) so The Nein will always have my heart.
I’m so curious to know how many campaign episodes the first season will cover. We already know Essek is in at least one episode of the show and he didn’t show up until around 60 episodes of the campaign. That feels like a lot to cover in just one season. Did they do the same for The Legend of Vox Machina?
There’s less than a month to go until this comes out but that month is going to feel so long. I’m really bad at keeping up with weekly episodes so let’s see how it goes with this. I much prefer it when they drop the entire season at once.
Synopsis: A group of outcasts, criminals and misfits stumble into saving the continent when an arcane relic capable of reshaping reality falls into the wrong hands.
Frankenstein
It feels like we’ve been waiting forever for this film to come out. I can’t tell you how excited I am (running theme of this post apparently). I love the story of Frankenstein, which I have never read but would like it, and I adore Guillermo del Toro. The fact that he loves to use practical effects makes my heart sing. It works so well for horror.
The film is showing in select theatres from October 17th and will be available to stream on Netflix from November 7th. I’ll have to wait for it to come to Netflix as it doesn’t appear to be showing in my local cinemas, I’m still excited though. Even my boyfriend is interested in watching this.
Synopsis: Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.
I Wish You All the Best
This book was so beautiful, I can only imagine just how much the film will make me cry. It’s not often I feel so emotionally affected by a book but this one was really special. I have no idea where this will be available to watch in the UK as it’s not showing in cinemas here, but I’ll try my best to track it down.
Synopsis: In this refreshingly modern coming-of-age story based on the best-selling book by Mason Deaver, a high school junior comes out as nonbinary and is thrown out of their family’s home. With nowhere else to turn, they move in with their estranged older sister and her husband. After enrolling in a new school, they find support from an eccentric art teacher and form an unexpected bond with a kindhearted student. With the help of their new relationships, they navigate the awkward hurdles of young adulthood in this sweetly funny journey of self-discovery that celebrates the power of being true to yourself.
