Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Films based on books

Welcome to the Films based on books department of WikiProject Film. The department coordinator is Her Pegship.

Guidelines

 * 1) Use only one category as the categories will be linked as subcategories.
 * 2) DO NOT add a film where the book was written AFTER the film was made; those should go in Film spin-offs.

To do
1. See the Worklist for links to film articles which need to be checked:
 * Is it really based on written material, and is that material mentioned in the text or links?
 * Are the film and source material articles separate, or does the article need splitting?
 * Does it have the appropriate category/ies?
 * Is it listed on the appropriate source list (see below)?
 * Remove the article's link from the Worklist when you have finished with it.

2. Update various lists in the Lists of films by source category.

 * Category:Films based on books - All films based on a book would have this category.
