This research discusses the process of ecranization that occurs in the adaptation of the novel Maria Beetle by Kotaro Isaka into the film Bullet Train directed by David Leitch. This research aims to describe the changes that occur in the intrinsic elements of the story, including plot, character, and setting, and analyze the impact of these changes on the meaning of the work. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a literary ecranization approach. Primary data used are the novel Maria Beetle and the movie Bullet Train, while secondary data are obtained from articles, journals, and other relevant sources. The results show that there is a significant process of shrinkage, addition, and change in the film adaptation. Some scenes, characters, and settings are omitted or changed for dramatic purposes, efficiency of screen time, and the needs of the global market. The addition of characters such as the White Death and the modification of the cultural setting also affect the nuances and moral messages in the movie. The conclusion of this study shows that film adaptation does not merely transfer
the content of literary works, but is a creative process that produces new works with different interpretations.
