Q: I just saw "Wild Mountain Thyme" with Emily Blunt, and I have to say, that was a weird movie. Was it based on something?
You're absolutely right that when there's a particular kind of weirdness in a film, it often points to it being an adaptation of something else (i.e., a book, a play, etc.).
And you're right about "Wild Mountain Thyme" (2020) specifically. The big-screen romantic dramedy was a Broadway play first — albeit one written by the director himself.
John Patrick Shanley ("Moonstruck," 1987) was a playwright before he went to Hollywood, and he's kept a foot in both businesses since.
