I recently read somewhere what I think is an excellent idea with more than a little relevance here. It said:

Every film production should have a "whack-reader" on the film set, an assistant who reads the book on which the film is based and whacks the director or producer with the book anytime one of them says, "What if the character did this instead."

It would prevent a lot of ham-handed adaptations, like the one that turned THE HOBBIT into three feature-length movies.
