I mondi fantastici dentro le pagine dei libri, hanno spesso preso la strada del grande schermo. Universi e storie racchiuse in due ore o poco più, che cercavano di racchiudere tutte le emozioni provate nella lettura dando in più la possibilità di vedere materializzarsi davanti ai nostri occhi i personaggi fin a quel momento creati solo nella nostra mente.
Ma molto spesso proprio il limitato arco temporale è stato ostacolo insormontabile per ricreare al meglio tutte le situazioni che nei libri possono essere sviscerate al meglio. Ecco perchè negli ultimi anni, molte sceneggiature tratte dai romanzi di fantascienza hanno preferito utilizzare lo strumento delle “serie televisive” per mettere in scena ancora più dettagli e ancora più approfondimenti.
Le serie tv tratte da libri di fantascienza
Nell’ultima decina danni abbiamo così visto un proliferare di Serie Televisive a tema fantascientifico, con l’adattamento di libri che è risultato in alcuni casi andare addirittura oltre le aspettative. Certo le necessarie modifiche e diversi aggiustamenti di trama e personaggi, hanno fatto a volte storcere il naso ai lettori più puristi, ma resta il fatto che abbiamo potuto godere di alcune perle imperdibili.
Da “L’uomo dell’alto castello”, che ha rivoluzionato l’idea originale di Philip Dick, fino a quel “The Handmaid’s Tale” che si è spinto anche molto oltre la storia iniziale creata dalla Atwood. Passando per un “Foundation” che ha appunto scatenato le ire di molti fan di Asimov (per lo stravolgimento della storia e dei personaggi), ma che resta un prodotto di altissimo livello.
Ecco allora un elenco di tutte le Serie Televisive tratte dai libri di fantascienza, uscite in questi anni più recenti.
