From Roald Dahl disapproving of Gene Wilder to Ian Fleming hating Sean Connery's casting as Bond, sometimes writers are wrong about their own movies.
While it is inevitable that authors will not always be happy with the casting of their work’s movie adaptations, some writers shot down performances that turned out to be perfect. Sometimes, even an author does not know what is best for their book’s movie adaptation. For example, when director Rob Reiner set out to adapt Stephen King’s successful psychological horror novel Misery, King warned him that the movie adaptation needed to maintain the novel’s goriest scene.
8 Stephenie Meyer Much like her fellow best-selling vampire romance novelist, Twilight saga author Stephenie Meyer had a lot of ideas for how her adaptations would be cast and a lot of misgivings about the choices producers made. For Meyer, Twilight’s brooding vampire antihero Edward Cullen needed to be future Superman actor Henry Cavill.
5 Donn Pearce While the novelist Donn Pearce might be best remembered as the screenwriter of Cool Hand Luke, that didn't mean that the author was happy with how the 1965 movie was cast. Pearce argued that Paul Newman was too short for the central role in Cool Hand Luke. The legendary folk hero was intended to be a rebellious chain gang convict, so it made sense that Pearce gave him a more imposing physique.

Movie Review: Americana, told Wes Anderson-style, in star-filled ‘Asteroid City’Wes Anderson returns with a sprawling cast for “Asteroid City,' a play within a play set in the midcentury American desert at a stargazer convention of kid geniuses. In her review, AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr writes that “'Asteroid City' seems like a response to critics of his last two films. It's earnest and self-conscious case for making art, putting on the play, telling the story, acting the part even if you and your audience aren’t entirely sure what you’re saying, and it works on an intellectual and emotional level. Rated PG-13, “Asteroid City” is a Focus Features release in theaters Friday, expanding nationwide June 23.
