Adapting the book "Wither" into a movie could either be very good or very bad. There are no major special effects that would need to be made but the sets would have to be very eleborate to get the right feel for the scene. I would also say that finding the right actors/actresses would be difficult as well. All of the characters have very distinguishable traits that would need to be met so that they seem true to the character. I think the best thing to do would be to use not well known actors that way the audience can visualize the character instead of visualizing the celebrity as the character. It is always distracting when a big name celebrity is put in a movie because then you only think of them as theirselves instead of the person they are trying to portray.
There are some scenes that must be kept in the movie. One scene is when Rhine (the female protagonist) is walking down the isle with her sister wives to be married to their husband who they have never even seen before. During this scene, one of the sister wives, Cecily, is very excited and bouncy while the other, Jenna, is morose and solumn. It would be important to show these personalities so the audience can understand the different viewpoints of Rhine's situation instead of just her own thoughts. Another scene that must be kept is when Rhine tells Cecily the story of her and her twin brother before she was forcibly taken to be a bride. This would establish the reasoning for why Rhine is trying so hard to escape. The audience needs to understand why she is giving up her new cushy life to go back to harsh conditions with her much loved brother. One final scene that would need to be kept is when Gabriel goes missing but leaves a June Bean. This is subtle but an important part in the story as it is one of the only scenes where Gabriel really shows his affection for Rhine.
