Id love to see them do this to 2 Micheal Crichton novels, Sphere and Congo. Theyre very good books, but the films just dont do them justice.

Congo was so popular in my day thought it did well, so odd

It was fun in a campy way, but the novel was serious and much more frightening and tense.

Did we not like sphere?? I thought it was great! Or do you just mean in terms of box office performance. Maybe in comparison to the quality of the books?

I thought there were some good points, with that cast there was bound to be, but it just doesnt quite live up to the slow burn dread of the novel. The book also had a better stinger of an ending.
