In this context which should I use?
Adaptation or adapted?
Cheers
Follow the pattern earlier in the sentence. "Directed by" was used so "and adapted by" would naturally follow. If you separated it into two independent phrases, you could use whatever you like:
Directed by Chris Columbus. Big screen adaptation by Richard Harris.
Cheers.
Could I have it as Directed by Chris Columbus and big screen adaptation by.....?
That would sound unnatural as I thought I had indicated in my first reply.
