There was a lot of fat trimming. A TV/film adaptation has to preserve the essentials and let the more superfluous stuff go by the wayside.

I think another big factor is simply that it's tough to hold the actors hostage for that long. Sure they are well paid, but many of them are ready to be able to pursue other avenues at this point.
