The special effects are dated and so on, but it's better story-wise if you care to look it up.) (Although back in 1988 there was a miniseries staring Richard Chamberlain and Jaclyn Smith that stayed very close to the book. As noted, this is a great read and it's much better than the movie by the same name in my opinion. Microfilm, competing assassins, double and triple identities and of course a love story. If people are trying to kill you that can sometimes add to the.stress. This can be difficult in the best of times.
I believe you'll like it.Ī man wakes up with amnesia.not a unique plot even then.and has to put together who he is and what's going on from few clues. The book is well plotted, thought out, with complex characters. Please try reading the books and finding out what the plot actually is.
I understand shortening for time (as in The Lord of the Rings) I understand combining characters.but why take a book's title then completely rewrite the story? The Bourne movies, starring Matt Damon in the title role, have been commercially and critically successful ( The Bourne Ultimatum won three Academy Awards in 2008), although the story lines depart significantly from the source material.įirst of all let me say.the recent movie with Matt Damon, I hated it. A non-Ludlum book supposedly inspired by his unused notes, Covert One: The Hades Factor, has also been made into a mini-series.
Some of Ludlum's novels have been made into films and mini-series, including The Osterman Weekend, The Holcroft Covenant, The Apocalypse Watch, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum. Ludlum also published books under the pseudonyms Jonathan Ryder and Michael Shepherd. He is the author of The Scarlatti Inheritance, The Chancellor Manuscript, and the Jason Bourne series- The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, and The Bourne Ultimatum-among others. There are more than 210 million of his books in print, and they have been translated into thirty-two languages. Robert Ludlum was the author of twenty-seven novels, each one a New York Times bestseller.
