Uma análise comparativa da obra Pet Sematary de Stephen King e o filme Pet Sematary como uma obra de adaptação

Abstract

The theme of the research is to analyse the film Pet Sematary, directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer in comparison with the book version Pet Sematary (1983), by Stephen King. Similarities and differences that characterise the adaptation as an original cinematographic work were analysed, looking for originality in the adaptation. Theoretical support was drawn from the works of the following authors: Carvalhal (2006), Corrigan (2012), Diniz (2005) and Cevasco (2003). This research and its methodology is based on comparative analysis given that, through the investigation, the works were analysed and contrasted with each other. As to the approach, the research is qualitative. After analysis and comparison, it was held that, despite the similarities in plot between the book and the movie, the latter version is a new work as a new story was told through something previously written.
