There is no definite answer to the word limit of a novel adapted into a movie because it depends on many factors such as the complexity of the plot, theme, characters, story structure, and so on. Usually, the number of words needed for a novel to be adapted into a movie was not a fixed number. It depended on the decision of the film director and producer. Some movies might only need a short novel adaptation, while others might need a very large novel to support them. In addition, the number of words in a novel was not the only deciding factor. The length of the novel and the complexity of the overall content also needed to be considered.
