Going from novel to screen requires a thousand decisions about what to cut and what to keep. Thankfully, the answer to one simple question helps every time: Does it (the scene) forward the story? Yes? Keep it. No? kill it. Not sure? Cut it. When you master the movement of story you reduce adapting to a problem of time. Unfortunately, no one has a solution for time.
