Line 69:
* Both the films ''[[Bram Stoker's Dracula|Bram Stokers Dracula]]'' and ''[[Mary Shelley]]'s Frankenstein'' had new [[novelization]]s written, despite being based on classic novels themselves. ''And'' having included the original author's name [[In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It|in the title of the movie]], as if to give an air of authenticity. [[Fred Saberhagen]] wrote the novelization of ''Bram Stoker's Dracula''; Saberhagen reportedly offered his services on the Frankenstein novel as well, solely for the purpose of being able to put "''Mary Shelley's Frankenstein'': From the author of ''Bram Stoker's Dracula''" on the cover. Ah, [[What Could Have Been]]...
* ''[[The Thing (film)|The Thing]]'' also had a [[Novelization]]... making it a novel based on a film based on a film/short story.
* Hollywood producers offered Philip K. Dick the chance to write the [[Novelization]] of ''[[Blade Runner]]'', itself a loose [[Film of the Book]] (the screenwriters had not read the original book) of his ''[[Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?]]?'' They would have paid a lot of money to do this, but, feeling insulted he refused. This led to the release of tie-in editions of ''Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?'' re-titled and looking for all the world like ''[[Blade Runner]]'' novelizations. Later, when his short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" [[Adaptation Displacement|inspired]] the movie ''[[Total Recall]]''. Having gone through [[Development Hell]] and many screenwriters, the script was essentially an original script with even less in common with its source material than ''[[Blade Runner]]''. By the time of the film's release, [[Piers Anthony]] had written a novelization of ''Total Recall''. The novelization came out in 1989. The movie came out in 1990.
* Two [[novelization]]s of [[James Bond (film)|James Bond]] movies, for taking only a few elements of the novel (''[[Moonraker]]''), or [[In Name Only|just the name]] (''[[The Spy Who Loved Me]]'').
* ''[[Black Beauty]]'', originally a novel, had a movie made out of it. And then the movie was novelized into a children's book with pictures from the movie in the middle.
Line 134:
* ''[[Touhou]]'' series (video game) → ''Strange and Bright Nature Deity'' ([[Manga]] spinoff) → ''Fairy Wars'' (video game continuation of a story from the ''SaBND'' manga)
* Not across mediums, but across companies: Konami's ''Guitar Freaks'' → Harmonix's ''[[Guitar Hero]]'' → Konami's ''[[Rock Revolution]]''.
** Another [[Rhythm Game]] non-pure example; Pac Man and other old arcade games → ''Pac Man Fever'' by Buckner and Garcia → ''Pac Man Fever'' on ''Rock Band'', including a song about Donkey Kong available on Xbox 360 and [[
* ''[[Roadside Picnic]]'' (novel) → ''Stalker'' (short story<ref>expanded into a script, by the same people plus Tarkovsky</ref>) → ''[[Stalker]]'' (Tarkovsky movie) → ''[[STALKER]]'' (video game adaptation) → numerous novelizations → movie based on one of them.
* ''[[Tak and the Power of Juju]]'' started out as its own game series, became a cartoon, and Tak from the cartoon appeared in [[Nicktoons Unite!]].
