Film Adaptation
"Low Men in Yellow Coats" and "Heavenly Shades of Night are Falling" formed the basis of a 2001 film entitled Hearts in Atlantis, starring Anthony Hopkins as Ted Brautigan, Anton Yelchin as Bobby Garfield and Hope Davis as Liz Garfield. Major story elements are common to the film and the story, but many of the details were changed. In addition, all the references to the Dark Tower were removed and the final destinies of the characters, revealed in the latter stories of the original novel, are not included. A further consequence of the changes is that the title of the film is completely impenetrable to those not familiar with the novel; a snatch of dialogue attempts to remedy this. Ted remarks of childhood being a lost city like Atlantis.
