Very possibly.

When making a film out of a novel, you have to take some stuff out 
simply for reasons for time - but it's also sometimes a good idea 
to change a few things as well - and provided it's nothing critical 
to the plot, I can't see a problem with it, if it is done by 
reasons of creating particular atmosphere's etc. And it's hard to 
make those judgements until you see the finished product.
