The New Trend in Malaysian Cinematography

     Malaysian movie industry is filled with great directors that create movies, based on their own original ideas not by adaptation of novels or any sort of books. However, lately the entertainment industry in Malaysia experienced a new type of tv series and movies. Few Malaysian directors started making movies based on Malaysia's bestselling novels. Novels such as "Nora Elena"(adapted from the novel "Kasih yang Suci"), "Ombak Rindu", and "Lagenda Budak Setan" have all been made into movies, not ordinary movies, but blockbusters (with the exception of "Nora Elena" which is a highly successful tv series).

                  

       I hope that this trend will not bring an end to our Malaysian directors originality in the industry. Adapting from bestsellers is a good move but I still prefer a more original storyline. Anyway, I hope you guys could give me your opinion about this issue.
