* The live-action ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' film [[Race Lift|recast]] Ripcord (formerly a redheaded white guy) as black. Since then, Ripcord has been introduced in two new continuities - the [[GI Joe IDW|IDW
== Literature ==
* [[J. K. Rowling]] mentioned in an interview that after she saw the first ''[[Harry Potter]]'' movie, her own mental image of Snape changed to resemble [[Alan Rickman]], which would then affect the way he's described in the later books.
** Actually, it seems to have mostly affected how Snape's dialogue is written. Read the "Spinner's End" chapter of ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince|Half-Blood Prince]]'' and try ''not'' to imagine [[Alan Rickman]] doing Snape's lines.
** Rowling has also noted that her mental image of Luna Lovegood eventually mutated into [[Evanna Lynch]]. But she successfully fought against her "ugly duckling" Hermione being taken over by [[Emma Watson]].
* Similarly, both Colin Dexter (''[[Inspector Morse]]'') and Ruth Rendell (''[[Inspector Wexford]]'') have said their mental images of their detectives were dramatically affected by the TV adaptations.
Line 99:
* After ''[[Dr. No]]'' was released and made ridiculous amounts of money for all involved, [[Ian Fleming]] gave [[James Bond (novel)|James Bond]] Scottish ancestry (rather ironic, considering he considered [[Sean Connery]] a bad choice for the role at first).
* In Craig Thomas' novel ''Firefox'', the titular fighter craft was originally nothing more than a MiG-25 Foxbat augmented with state of the art technology. After [[Clint Eastwood]]'s 1982 [[Firefox|movie adaptation]] came out with its iconic [[Cool Plane|superfighter design]], subsequent republishing of the novel would use the movie version of the Firefox to depict the craft. In addition, Thomas changed the description of the plane in the sequel novel ''Firefox Down'' to match the new appearance.
** The Firefox (both the plane and movie plot) is actually an Expy of the '
* The original novel of ''[[House of Cards (British series)]]'' ends with {{spoiler|Francis Urquhart's death}}. This was changed in the TV adaptation, enabling sequels. The two sequels to the novel (both adapted for TV later) are based on the TV ending.
* [[Arthur C. Clarke]]'s ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' originally had the mission going to Saturn. It was changed in the films as they couldn't get the rings right, and that change crept into all subsequent adaptations.
