I didn't see the movie. I think a good director could capture the flavor of the book with the right lighting, sound, and dialog. Of course, nothing the director does could match the book. But he can try.

I don't think this happened, though. The trailer shows what happened to the world, and had many scenes with the wife. That the book neglected to explain how the world got they way it was, and what happened to the wife, added to the otherworldly mystique of the book.
