Big news for book lovers! Our favorite grumpy-but-brilliant giant Pacific octopus is finally swimming onto our Netflix screens. Remarkably Bright Creatures is officially getting a movie adaptation set for May 2026.
If you haven't read the book yet, you have plenty of time, but the stakes are high for this one. How are they going to pull off Marcellus? He’s such a complex character with a very specific internal monologue.
I’m honestly a bit nervous because the bond between Tova and Marcellus is so delicate and beautiful - if they make it too 'Disney-fied' or use bad CGI, it might ruin the magic. But seeing this story about grief, loneliness, and unlikely friendships get a massive platform is pretty incredible. I’m already preparing my tissues for that ending.
Are we ready to fall in love with an octopus all over again, or should they have left this masterpiece on the page? #literature #culture #entertainment
