ENG 2390 From Book to Film: Watchmen
(formerly ENG 239A)
This supplemental class will investigate the narrative decisions involved in "translating" a popular literary text into a popular film. Through analyses of these paired works, students will be able to argue for aesthetic, generic and cultural rationales behind any changes made. This course’s iteration of Book to Film will examine the quintessential revisionary graphic novel, Watchmen (1987), and the eventual Hollywood blockbuster, Watchmen (2009).
