Line 79:
* The writer of ''[[The Curious Case of Benjamin Button]]'' also adapted ''[[Forrest Gump]]''. [http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1897317 Comparisons have been made.]
* Ever thrifty, [[Roger Corman]] managed to film what was essentially the same script ''three times'': When making ''Beast from Haunted Cave'', he simply had writer Charles B. Griffith [[Same Story, Different Names|rewrite his own script]] for the heist thriler ''Naked Paradise'' and add a monster. He then had Griffith rewrite ''that'' script into a comedy, which he filmed as ''Creature from the Haunted Sea''.
* The ending of ''[[Star Trek Nemesis]]'' was basically the ending of ''[[Star Trek II: The
* Not only was ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture]]'''s plot based on the script for the cancelled ''Phase II'' pilot, but it bore a striking similarity to an episode from the original series, "The Changeling".
* ''[[Phantom of the Paradise]]'' has so many striking similarities with ''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'' (even though it could have only been inspired by the stage version of Rocky - RHPS was still filming when Phantom hit theaters) that some fans consider it part of the same series. Likewise, Rocky's bastard-sequel ''[[Shock Treatment]]'' has a number of striking similarities to Phantom; possibly a case of Richard O'Brien subtly reclaiming his own work.

{{quote| "THE SCRIPT In attempting to capture some semblance of story, Joel Schumacher, along with screenwriter Akiva Goldsman, first used the basic outline of BATMAN FOREVER. If one were to sit down, and view both films simultaneously on two separate monitors, the comparisons between the two would seem just about right—time-wise. Examine, for instance, the first act. Freeze has taken guards in the museum. Two Face has taken guards in the bank. Batman is trapped in a vault being lifted, inexplicably, by a helicopter. Batman is trapped, inexplicably, in a rocket headed for unknown space. Through over-the-top theatrics, Batman is able to save the day. That sentence is applicable for either film." [http://www.batman-on-film.com/opinion_bray_batmanandrobin.html Greg Bray], ''Remembering Batman and Robin'', Batman on Film}}
** It doesn't just apply to the beginning; ''Batman & Robin'' also used some key plot points from ''Forever'', namely the final act, where Batman, Robin, and Batgirl raided the observatory.
