From Page to Screen: Flowers in the Attic

It was probably inevitable. I mean, now that 50 Shades is being made into a movie the floodgates have opened and the bar of "questionable taste" has been....adjusted.

Without further ado, I give you the trailer for Flowers in the Attic.



Lest you are surprised Flowers hasn't been made into a movie before now, rest assured: a 1987 adaptation was released, but only hinted at the incest that is integral to the plot (the part that was 90% of the reason most of us weren't allowed to read the book).  According to star Mason Dye, this adaptation will be different, saying "we stay very true to the book." 

The new film adaptation will premiere on Lifetime, January 18, 2014.  Incidentally, that leaves you plenty of time to read the book before you pop your popcorn.

Happy Reading!
