picturization
Book becomes movie
Picturization is the process of adapting something into visual form, especially turning a written work into a film.
The term appears mainly in Indian English, where it commonly describes the filming of song sequences in Bollywood movies: The picturization of that dance number took three days to shoot.
Elsewhere, visualization or film adaptation are more common terms.
