A challenge that film makers would have to overcome is making the thoughts known and having the book in 3 different perspectives. Since the book is in Third person ominsenct has a lot of characters thoughts in it. Filmmakers will have trouble showing the characters thoughts in the movie. Also they will have to show the movie through all three perspectives.
One scene that is essential to keep is when Logan Thibault, the main character, is jogging and finds the picture of Beth while he’s in the war in Iraq. That scene is essential to keep because it’s where it all begins, he feels like he has to find her and repay her for saying his life throughout the war. Without that scene there wouldn’t be a book. The second scene that is important is when they first meet. This is important because you see how she felt about him at first and then you see how that evolves. The last important scene the filmmakers have to keep is when Logan and Keith Clayton, the sheriff and Beth’s ex-husband, meet. When Logan gets interrogated for looking suspicious and then slashes Claytons’ tires and stealing the police cameras. Another important scene they need to keep is when Logan and Clayton are trying to save Ben, and they don’t Zeus does. They need to keep this scene because it’s the suspenseful moment of the book and also determines the ending to it.
One scene that could be cut is when Logan first gets to town and is showing people the picture and asking if they know her. They can take this scene out because it’s not a very important scene compared to the other scene and its long. Another scene they could take out is one of the parts when he’s remembering the things that happened in Iraq. These scenes can also be taken out because their also not important and don’t really contribute to the plot.
