As Steve Jobs once paraphrased Picasso, “Good artists copy. Great artists steal.” While it’s debatable whether the best films are original stories or adaptations, it’s certainly true that Hollywood loves to plunder existing source material when making movies — and successful books are a favorite starting point. The prestige films likely to win awards in 2018 include adaptations of a dozen popular and acclaimed novels, memoirs and biographies, by authors young, old, and dead, with settings including Civil War-era Virginia, 1980s Italy and 2040s L.A.
