As of 2020, which author has the most written works that were adapted into Hollywood films?

Love Stephen King, but his books are way better than most of the movies.

Agree King is the champ but disagree with content on second place there are 11 Harry Potter/magical beast movies and at least 14 Bond movies titled by Fleming novels.

The dude writes 3 or 4 novels a year, so it had to be him.

King is a great author! Has been my fav since I was a teen. He can tell a story like no other!

He's one of the best authors ever

LillySparrow, I thought that Misery was pretty mild compared to most of his stories

Meesh, I love both the movies and books but mostly the movies

Player #36466748, The magical beast movies were not originally novels, so that excludes them.

Meesh, my brother says that all the time haha

Brought to you by: cocaine Mans had to stuff his nose with cotton to stop the bleeding on the pages he was writing.

1408 is a favorite too

The Stand is my favorite.

He was my mom's favorite author! I miss you, mom.

His movies are much better than his stories

Once I liked to read his novels very much. That was until he started writing as if his main priority was to have his book made into a Hollywood thriller. I also dislike his continuation of story lines by making another book and adding on to the prior. I understand why he is so well liked, but the last 2 books I tried did not keep me interested.

I’ve never seen any of those . . . Only Misery which I loved. Kathy Bates and James Caan should win (well, Ms. Bates did👌🏼) should win 🏆 the academy award great movie

Western novelist Zane Gray has had more than 100 books made into movies.
