August theatrical releases were a bit sparse, but “Partner Track,” “Lost Ollie” and seven other book-based projects found their way onto streamers last month, including HBO’s “Game of Thrones” prequel series “House of the Dragon.” September has more theatrical releases, but fewer book adaptations to look forward to. Those that are coming out this month have rich history though, especially “The Rings of Power” series that Amazon has based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s books and appendices.
There’s also “The Silent Twins” starring Letitia Wright and Jodhi May as well as Andrew Dominik’s feature film “Blonde” adapted from Joyce Carol Oates’ book about the career of Marilyn Monroe.
Here are six book to screen adaptations coming out in September:

Plot: Petro-chemist Andy Yeats knows how dependent the world is on oil; if something were to happen to the world’s oil supply, it would set off a chain reaction: transportation would grind to a halt, supplies would cease to be delivered, law enforcement would be overwhelmed. While on a business trip to the Middle East, Andy realizes that his worst fears are coming true and his family is separated at this crucial moment. His teenage daughter, Laura, is alone at home in London while his wife, Elena, and young son, Sam, are in Paris. Amid this chaos, each family member will sacrifice everything to find one another, despite the distance and the dangers that separate them. Based on Alex Scarrow’s best-selling novel of the same name.

The increasing sense of precarity around the world’s infrastructure would seem to help Peacock’s “Last Light” resonate: The limited series depicts a disruption in the world’s supply of petroleum, setting off a major energy crisis and fears of global cataclysm. And yet the series never finds its gear, existing as a ripped-from-future-headlines thriller that’s neither particularly credible nor especially thrilling.
Here, Matthew Fox plays the chemist Andy Yeats, who finds himself drawn into the crisis; as the world lurches into a moment of uncertainty, he’s separated from his family, trying both to find his way to them and to do what he can to bring the world back to order. The family struggles seem calculated to wring emotion from viewers, with Andy’s son (Taylor Fay) gradually losing his sight in a way that tests the tender stoicism of mom Elena (Joanne Froggatt). There’s,...

Peacock’s Last Light is a consistently inert environmental thriller that fails to deliver even the most minor thrills. But in reaching its bizarrely anticlimactic conclusion in only five episodes, none more than 44 minutes, it’s far too brisk to be mad at.
Peacock is hoping that Last Light might get some attention for Matthew Fox’s return to TV, but with less watchable goofiness than The Lost Symbol, the streamer’s short-lived Dan Brown adaptation — another cheap-looking international thriller with allegedly literary trappings — I’m pretty confident this will be another no-impact fizzle.
Last Light begins with Fox’s Andy Yeats — a weirdass reference to “The Second Coming”? — standing on a sand dune. He’s disoriented, or “lost,” if you will. After a burst of high-drama snippets from later in the series, we go back to two days earlier; it’s an...

Matthew Fox kept a mental checklist of things he’d like to accomplish in his career, and once every gig had been crossed out, he made a decision to “walk away from the storytelling business.”
Fox had starred in a pair of hit television shows in Party of Five and Lost, toplined a string of feature films, acted in a Western and jetted across the Atlantic to hit the stage for a play in London’s West End. Bucket list achieved. So, in 2015, the actor retired, taking what seemed like a final bow with back-to-back films Bone Tomahawk and Extinction before settling down in Oregon with his wife and two children.
Not so fast. Another small-screen challenge soon revealed itself. “One of the things that I had never done was executive produce and that was kind of, you know, haunting me a little bit like,...

"The worst case is unfolding." Peacock has revealed a trailer for a mini-series titled Last Light, which will be streaming on their service next month. This is being described as an apocalyptic disaster series, though it really seems like a freak out "we're afraid of change" maintain-the-status-quo concept more than anything. Here's the fear-mongering pitch: "Your family. Your world. What if it all disappeared tomorrow? If society were collapsing, how far would you go to save the ones you love?" So what's causing this disaster? The end of oil. Yes, the thing that we actually need to stop using for the sake of our planet's health and our survival as a species, is the resource in the "society will collapse without it" series. This is based on the novel of the same name by Alex Scarrow. Last Light follows a petro-chemist who discovers the world's oil supplies have been cut off.

Matthew Fox is opening up about his acting hiatus following the conclusion of Lost in 2010.
The 55-year-old shed light on his new Peacock series, Last Light, and how it brought him back to TV screens.
"I kind of had a bucket list in my mind of things that I wanted to accomplish in the business, and after I did Bone Tomahawk in 2014 that had kind of completed the bucket list," Fox said at the Monte-Carlo Film Festival over the weekend, according to Variety.
"I wanted to do a Western. It's a very odd Western, but it's a Western. And so that sort of completed the bucket list."
"At that time in my life, our kids were at an age where I felt like I needed to really reengage," he continued.

“Nanny McPhee” director Kirk Jones is set to take on Donald Trump in his first television series, “You’ve Been Trumped.”
The drama, based on Anthony Baxter’s 2011 documentary, tells the story of a small Scottish village who took on the then-reality TV star when he tried to build a golf course in a nature reserve. Jones, who has previously written and directed “Waking Ned” and “Everybody’s Fine,” is also writing the project while Baxter will serve as a creative consultant.
“There was a reason why the world’s media was drawn to this story in 2006 and why there was such a determined effort to prevent Anthony Baxter’s excellent documentary of the same name, being released in 2011,” said Jones. “A special site of scientific interest was stripped of its status and a community of decent people faced an unwanted aggressor.
