When there is a book and a movie with the same title, which one was almost always created first?
- A.
Movie
- B.
Book
Correct Answer
B. BookExplanation
In most cases, the book is almost always created first when there is a book and a movie with the same title. This is because the process of writing and publishing a book typically takes longer than producing a movie. Authors often spend months or even years crafting their stories, while movies require additional time for scriptwriting, casting, filming, and post-production. Therefore, it is common for filmmakers to adapt popular books into movies rather than the other way around.Rate this question:
