They did make a TV movie about Into Thin Air in 1997, but it must have been forgettable, since I don't remember it.
East of Eden (1955) is director Elia Kazan's updated re-telling of the Biblical story of rival brothers, Cain and Abel and a paradise lost. Writer Paul Osborn's screenplay adapted John Steinbeck's 1952 novel with the same title for this dramatic Warner Bros. film. [The film tells only a small portion of Steinbeck's work, leaving out the childhood of the parents and the Chinese character of Lee.]

Don't usually like movies made from novels, if I've read it first. The characters don't usually look like I imagined them to, and some of the nuances and subplots of a good novel are often omitted -- eg in Trainspotting even the scene which gave the book its name was omitted from the film. I'm not that keen on seeing the film first and then reading the book either, because then I have a preconception of the characters and I also know the story (ie no real surprises)!
