Novelization	comment	The literary counterpart to The Film of the Book: A novelization retells the story of the film in novel form. In some cases, this can even go as far as a book based on the movie of the book (distinct from just re-releasing the original novel with a film poster slapped on the cover). At best, the novelization is a faithful rendition of the film's story that takes additional time to explore and explain things the movie didn't have time to do itself, like the characters' inner motivations or justification for certain plot holes. At worst, you end up with something that reads like someone copied the film script and added "It Was a Dark and Stormy Night" at the top. Novelizations are also often put together quickly, using an early draft of the film's script so the author can finish writing and have the book published to tie in with the movie's theatrical release. This work process that incurs a genuine risk that the script copy the author was working from may differ vastly from the film's final version and offer a glimpse into What Could Have Been for the film. This mishap occurred with Chris Claremont's X2: X-Men United novelization and Peter David's Spider-Man 3 novelization, amongst many others. If the movie winds up having its release delayed, the book might be in something of a no man's land when it comes to sales, while the film itself is potentially spoiled by anyone who reads the novel (which happened to Penelope). On the other hand, sometimes the book is better than the movie, mostly if the movie wasn't great in the first place or was subject to a lot of Executive Meddling. Many novels are either ghostwritten or with authors writing under pen names, with some writing a few of them under various aliases. The novelization isn't exclusive to film; episodes of popular television shows may also be novelized — e.g., all of the original series Doctor Who serials were novelized — as can Comic Book Story Arcs, and even video games (usually the ones with strong narrative elements, like RPGs). These vary from Expanded Universe material to complete bastardizations that only bear the name of the original. See also Tie-In Novel.

Novelization / int_11366f17	comment	The RPG Betrayal at Krondor had a novelization written by the author upon whose work it was based. The book took the "script" route, mostly putting fight scenes into words and adding banter where it might have been missing in the game - and cutting many, many sidequests and much banter and content from the game, in turn.

As the book is based on a rough draft of the film, now-lost deleted scenes can be read (such as the rest of the Frenchie material and a scene at the talent show which completely spoils the 'Michael drove off a cliff and died' concept). However, the real fault lies in the pure stupidity evident in spots - for example, Cool Rider Michael rides his motorcycle up a flight of stairs.

Novelization / int_1cbc1a59	comment	Dragonheart has both a regular novelization and a junior one. The novelization, written by the film's screenwriter Charles Edward Pogue, is based on his early screenplay before creative differences with director Rob Cohen and executive meddling from Universal changed it. Compared to the family-friendly nature of the film, the novelization has the Darker and Edgier feel the movie was meant to have. It expands on the world, the characters, and their relationships and gives previously minor or unnamed supporting characters larger roles such as the dragonslayers introduced near the end. It also includes vital scenes and moments of character development cut from the film, rearranges some scenes and dialogue to help the story flow better, and removes elements added to the film that Pogue disapproved of, like the pigs in the swamp village. While the film received a mixed reception, the novelization is praised by readers and fans, deeming it superior to the film and lamenting What Could Have Been. The book notably features more direct interaction between Draco and the other characters than shown in the movie that was limited due to the CGI technology at the time.

Novelization / int_1cc11947	comment	Descent had a trilogy of novels written. They're actually excellent, taking what little plot the games had and massively expanding it. The stories do diverge a bit but follow the same basic plot and themes. The author did an impressive job of taking the games' mechanics and providing believable parallels to them: for instance, Energy Centers, glowing hallways that restore the ship's power, don't exist in the novels, but the characters do plug the ship into the mine's power grid at one point to achieve the same effect.

Novelization / int_244bc20d	comment	The novelization of Howard the Duck was exponentially better than the film. Written by National Lampoon graduate Ellis Weiner, he went wild with the source material, spicing up the action with sharp, funny descriptions, inserting long digressions that steered the reader from the silly plot. In some cases, he invented elaborate, absurd backstories for characters and items with only brief appearances in the movie. For instance, the disintegrator ray that plays a significant role in the film's climax was revealed by Weiner to have been thought up by President Reagan over a bowl of Smurfberry Crunch; this detail is not in the movie.

Novelization / int_2a77a546	comment	Inside Out warranted two novelizations, one the traditional paperback "junior novelization", the other the longer hardback Driven by Emotions. The latter has each emotion recount the film's events from their first-person perspective in turn. Fear, Anger, and Disgust's actions are greatly expanded upon with details about how they guide Riley through a typical school day while Joy and Sadness are missing (and what they think of the environment). An entire additional scene involving Fear directing Riley to a library so everyone will have an idea what they might be facing as she runs away to Minnesota. Sadness's chapter (which closes the book) reveals why she made Riley cry so soon after she was born and suggests that her urge to touch the core memories and turn them sad, which she isn't quite able to explain/understand in the film, is the result of her being drawn to them because they want her to touch them.

Novelization / int_30d9627b	comment	The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1978) was novelized so skillfully by its then little-known writer, Douglas Adams, that many readers are unaware it began as a radio series. The novel covers the first four episodes with much additional material, some of which was in the original script but had to be cut for time. The sequel The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is a looser novelization of a few of the following episodes, with the chronology shuffled and some subplots removed or heavily rewritten. The later novels (starting with Life, the Universe and Everything, a very loose adaptation of an unproduced Doctor Who script — the original script itself, Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen, was also novelized in 2018) received an Audio Adaptation much later.

It's noteworthy that the author only had two months to pen the entire thing, yet the book is generally seen as a big improvement over the film.

Novelization / int_34a70b48	comment	The Batman Forever novelization by Peter David is praised as an improvement over the film. He throws in some deleted scenes from the film (like Two-Face's escape from Arkham) and rearranges some scenes that the film showed out of sequence to help the story make more sense. He added more character development for characters like Dr. Chase Meridian, Robin, The Riddler, and Two-Face. Peter David gives additional insight into Riddler's obsession with Bruce, stemming from Nygma's childhood, and adds details that fill in plot holes from Batman Returns, such as how Batman clears his name. Unlike the film, the book has a stronger connection to the previous films with mentions of The Joker and The Penguin, and some classic Batman characters like Lucius Fox and Harvey Bullock have cameo appearances. There's even a mention of Poison Ivy. Bizarrely, The Riddler briefly wears a robotic muscle suit for a few pages during the climax, like in the licensed game version.

At least, in the book for Aliens, which included subplots not used until the Director's Cut of the film, as well as a scene where Company sleazebag Burke is cocooned in the Alien hive) for many years. The Alien novelizations had it better than most. All of the novelizations up until Alien: Resurrection were written by Alan Dean Foster, the same guy who ghostwrote the original Star Wars novel. At least, Foster cared about his books' tone, and they're written quite passably, if not well. The author's consistency also means there's little if any discontinuity between these three novels; the style and mood are the same across all three. Foster even gives his readers a wink by using similar images for the opening of each book, even though the films were the better part of a decade apart in each case. The novelization of Alien: Covenant was based on an early version of the script and contains various scenes changed in or outright removed from the final cut of the movie — such as a battle between a Neomorph and a Xenomorph.

In Japan, all three anime were adapted into an "animanga" using screenshots of the show, despite the show being based on a manga. The main appeal was that it was in color, but then the Full Color edition of the original manga was released using Toriyama's stronger artwork. As Kanzenshuu's Julian says, it's redundantly redundant.

Nine" (a name chosen for indexing purposes due to the first three letters of "Nine" matching Nintendo's). Since the books were aimed at children, the cover art from the games were retouched for the book versions to omit any weapon a character might be using (like Solid Snake's gun or Ryu Hayabusa's kunai knife). The stories were often altered to downplay or omit any deaths (most notably, Ken Hayabusa doesn't die in the Ninja Gaiden novel). There were eight regular books in this series, plus two "Junior Edition" books aimed at an even younger audience.

The novel has become a collector's item among modern fans since copies are harder to find. The book was so renowned that lines from it ("You don't know what death is!") appear in the sequel. Michael Myers' added backstory was incorporated into the sixth film. The second and third films were also novelized by Dennis Etchison (under the pen name Jack Martin), who was asked to write the script for Halloween 4 (however, while his treatment was used, his script wasn't). Nicholas Grabowsky novelized the fourth film. Halloween (2018) was novelized by John Passarella (best known for writing novels from the Buffyverse).

It expands on some characters (Wicket has more characterization, Moff Jerjerrod is depicted as a sadist, etc.). It also makes the Rebel fleet larger, drawing out the battle more, and dramatically enhances the confrontation between Luke, Vader, and the Emperor, making the dueling more detailed and revealing a lot of Vader's thoughts. For some reason, it has the dialogue of many of the non-human characters written out in excruciating detail, down to emphasizing the pitch changes in Artoo's beeps and boops. It also oddly refers to Owen Lars as Obi Wan's brother.

A two-volume Japanese-language novelization of Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles was also written by Osamu Makino (who also wrote an alternate Japanese novelization to the first live-action movie, as well as novelizations of Damnation and Vendetta).

Novelization / int_59151283	comment	Metal Gear: The original Metal Gear Solid had a novelization by Raymond Benson published in 2008. Since it was written a decade after the game's release as a tie-in to Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, it incorporates some of the plot elements and retcons introduced to the series since then. It also turned Solid Snake from a stoic assassin to a one-liner spouting action movie star to inject some humor with some mixed results. The later Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty also written by Benson, was a more straightforward adaptation of the game. Project Itoh, who was already a fan of Hideo Kojima's work before becoming a published author, wrote the novelization of Guns of the Patriots published in Japan in 2008 and later adapted into English in 2012. It retells the game's story from Otacon's perspective and covers almost everything except the battles with the B.B. Corps (who are absent in the book). Itoh was set to write the novelizations for Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, but his deteriorating health and eventual death resulted in these projects being assigned to Beatless author Satoshi Hase and newcomer Hitori Nojima (a penname used by Kadowaka author Kenji Yano, who was already an acquaintance of Hideo Kojima) respectively. Nojima would go on to write Metal Gear Solid: Substance, a two-volume alternate novelization of the first two Metal Gear Solid games that takes a metanarrative approach into adapting the story, as well as the novelization to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, eventually becoming one of the writers for Hideo Kojima's later game Death Stranding, also writing that game's novelization. None of Nojima's novels had been adapted into English yet.

Novelization / int_5ada53ed	comment	Quite a few for the James Bond movies... The Spy Who Loved Me was different from the original novel in practically every way — Ian Fleming's dissatisfaction with the book led him to try and suppress it wherever he could, and that included only allowing the title to be used when he sold the movie rights. It's therefore unsurprising that the movie spawned a novelization by Christopher Wood, who also wrote the screenplay. Entitled James Bond, The Spy Who Loved Me, it added characters and organizations from the Fleming novels to the plot and incorporates the events of the film into the literary Bond's continuity. Wood also wrote the screenplay and the novelization for Moonraker. While James Bond and Moonraker stays close to the movie, Jaws (here The Voiceless again) is missing from the freefall scene at the beginning and the waterfall chase, and he doesn't have a girlfriend. Also, in the Venice chase scene, 007's gondola doesn't sprout wheels. Licence to Kill was the first Bond film not to take its title from an Ian Fleming novel or short story. John Gardner, who was writing Bond novels at the time, did the novelization. He had the unusual task of reconciling the film continuity (such as it is) with Fleming novels. For instance, in the film Felix Leiter gets his leg bitten off by a shark. But in the Fleming books, to which Gardner's novelization was meant to be a sequel, Leiter had already lost a leg to a shark (which happened in Live and Let Die). Gardner simply had the shark bite off Leiter's prosthetic without the bad guys noticing. Gardner also wrote the novelization of GoldenEye. He expanded certain scenes, dialogues, and character interactions — and attempted to incorporate the events of the film into the literary Bond's continuity, chiefly M's retirement and replacement by a woman. Raymond Benson, who took over writing Bond novels from Gardner, wrote the novelizations for Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day.

Novelization / int_5fa33285	comment	Labyrinth: Because Jim Henson himself supervised their writing and provided tons of material to author Anthony Charles Hockley Smith (as revealed in a 2012 Empire magazine tribute to Henson), the 1982 novelizations of The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth contained information and scenes that didn't make it into the finished films. For the former, this included the names of all the Skeksis and Mystic characters, the alternate name for the Mystics (uRu), the passages in an invented language which were changed to English for the final script, the deleted funeral scenes, etc.. The Labyrinth novelization was again very close to the movie but contained expanded versions of the doorknockers and Fireys' sequences, the backstory of Sarah's mother leaving the family for an actor she worked with (and whom Jareth is the fantasy world equivalent of), and so forth. Labyrinth had a children's picture book version with drawn illustrations, written by Louise Gikow. It stuck closely to the film, with one big change — the issue of Jareth being a Stalker with a Crush isn't brought up. Not only is the Dream Ballet sequence presented as a delaying tactic, but the climax also has him destroyed by The Power of Love (specifically, Sarah's love for Toby). In the film, Sarah figures out that his Reality Warper powers don't include control over her, and a declaration of this is enough for him to admit defeat. This change didn't apply to the novelization or the Photo Album's telling (which used dialogue excerpts and stills from the film), aimed at older audiences.

A few minor characters change roles and names, but the most substantial changes include Eagle's race (from Asian American in the series to Latinx in the book), leaving out the subplot of Sunji's implied immortality, and detailing the lead characters' escapades in far more detail than the show ever did (or could). This creates a far different motivation for the final actions of two of the lead characters, since the Homoerotic Subtext between two of the characters became quite literal text.

Link is given an Age Lift, Zelda is given a Race Lift, and some new characters are added, and there are some original subplots, such as a massive brief war against the Yiga Clan, the addition of powerful spirit animals wielded by Zelda, Link, Ganondorf and Impa. There are also some changes to the canon, such as Ganondorf being Groose's reincarnation, and the revelation that Ganon is actually a victim of Demise's curse, which has possessed him and his power for its own bidding.

Both series of The Girl from Tomorrow got one, both series of Spellbinder had two each, and Blue Water High has had a novelization of the first season written from the viewpoint of one of the characters. These commonly are word-for-word transcriptions, with each episode taking up a chapter. The Blue Water High series is notable for breaking away from that—the series itself rotates the protagonists' viewpoints.

Novelization / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: An interesting semi-example: Nintendo's official Strategy Guide for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was written in a novelization format (for example, instead of telling the reader directly "Light the torches to open the door", it was "Link saw some unlit torches. When he lit them, the door opened.") The guide also contained official art and background information that can't be found anywhere else. It was somewhat entertaining, but that extra atmosphere didn't do much good when you were lost in the Water Temple for four hours. (Nintendo apparently agreed — they haven't tried anything similar since.) There was also a straighter novelization of the game, about which the less said, the better. Nintendo made the guide for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past a pseudo-novelization complete with summaries of the previous games' plots, official art, and specious but interesting descriptions of Hyrule's culture and history (which were since contradicted by Ocarina of Time). There are several manga of various games, including Ocarina Of Time, pretty fair themselves and sometimes include bonus side stories (some of which are dubiously canonical, but still fun). In fact, the side story for The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask manga details the origin of the titular mask quite well. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle Games had Gamebooks from Scholastic.

Novelization / int_7aaf9e41	comment	Batman: Batman (1989) and Batman Returns both had novelizations by Craig Shaw Gardner. The Batman Forever novelization by Peter David is praised as an improvement over the film. He throws in some deleted scenes from the film (like Two-Face's escape from Arkham) and rearranges some scenes that the film showed out of sequence to help the story make more sense. He added more character development for characters like Dr. Chase Meridian, Robin, The Riddler, and Two-Face. Peter David gives additional insight into Riddler's obsession with Bruce, stemming from Nygma's childhood, and adds details that fill in plot holes from Batman Returns, such as how Batman clears his name. Unlike the film, the book has a stronger connection to the previous films with mentions of The Joker and The Penguin, and some classic Batman characters like Lucius Fox and Harvey Bullock have cameo appearances. There's even a mention of Poison Ivy. Bizarrely, The Riddler briefly wears a robotic muscle suit for a few pages during the climax, like in the licensed game version. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight had novelizations done by Dennis O'Neil, who'd written and edited Batman comics for three decades beforehand. As a result, he's confident in making a lot of expansions and outright changes. The changes made range from the minor (Joker is somewhat closer to the comics take, even using Joker Venom at one point) to the truly bizarre (Scarecrow's motivations are explained as those of a Well-Intentioned Extremist trying to create utopia through fear). The Dark Knight Rises also had a novelization, this time written by Greg Cox, which reveals the fate of the Joker after the previous movie. He's the sole Arkham inmate left after the Dent Act forces all others into Blackgate Prison, although it's hinted he might have escaped the asylum.

Novelization / int_7ab10627	comment	The novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture was written by Gene Roddenberry himself (to the disgust of Harold Livingston, who wrote the script for the movie). Notable because he gave a massive boost to the Kirk / Spock slashers by stating outright that the honorific Spock uses for Kirk "t'hy'la" was interpreted from the Vulcan language as "brother/friend/lover" and what the shippers have reinterpreted as meaning "soulmate". The novelizations of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock had several important plot points that were missing from the movies. It was established that Commander Sulu was to be promoted to captain and commanding officer of the USS Excelsior immediately after returning from the training mission, but the Genesis controversy caused Starfleet Commander Morrow to rewrite his orders. In Wrath of Khan, we see a developing mentor/protÃ©gÃ© relationship between Lt. Saavik and Cadet Peter Preston, the latter of whom has a crush on the former. The Genesis team members are all named and given plot development, including one who was Carol Marcus' lover. The torture of the Genesis team (sans three people) is shown in explicit detail, and towards the end, we see the beginnings of a friendship between Saavik and David Marcus. In Search for Spock, Saavik and David's friendship blooms into romance, which was unfortunately not seen in the movie. And when David is killed, Saavik becomes so enraged that she takes on three Klingon guards by herself and is only taken down after two disruptor blasts. (Also, Kirk doesn't say the famous line "You Klingon bastard, you've killed my son!"; he calls him a "spineless coward" instead). The Voyage Home was novelized by Vonda McIntyre, with some style. Spock and Sarek in particular get further upgrading via backstory and other lines. The famous What Could Have Been scene with Sulu meeting his great-great-grandfather is faithfully included, and Macintyre plays up (to the point of being Anvilicious about it) the conservation themes of the film, with Spock occasionally stopping by nondescript plants to say "Fascinating. An extinct species." Even McCoy's ranting gets an upgrade: McIntyre's Voyage Home novel also elaborates and expands on the probe's nature. It's a sentient being of near godlike power and is referred to as "the traveler." It's maintained contact with Earth's whales for centuries across the vastness of space and visited Earth previously before humans evolved. It considers whales a superior species because it enjoys their songs and doesn't even notice or care about humans. Its reason for coming is it heard the cries of the whales as they were hunted centuries ago. It had come with the intention of rescuing them, but the journey took so long that the whales are all dead by the time it arrived. When it discovers this, it plans to purge Earth of life and begin it anew - until George and Gracie are brought to the present and answer its call, persuading it to spare the planet. This explanation and backstory for the probe were eventually rendered non-canonical by a later novel entitled Probe, however, which revealed that [[spoiler space whales sent it]]. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier's novelization by J.M. Dillard does a lot to redeem the movie's plot, adding considerable backstory to Sybok and his mother, and explaining that "God" had telepathically sent Sybok a formula for configuring a starship's deflector shields to penetrate the Barrier. After Sybok gets Scotty to set up the Enterprise's shields in this way, Klaa's Bird-of-Prey copies the same shield configuration in order to follow the Enterprise. It also gives background information on St. John Talbot, General Korrd, Cathlinn Dar, and J'Onn, and tells what led them all to their current circumstances on the godforsaken world of Nimbus III.

While not so much adding Word of God stuff, it does give out some small details you don't always know about. For example, the novelization states that Elsa was eight when the accident happened and gave Kristoff a bit more to do during the coronation, including the fact that he didn't stay for it. He just went back to get more supplies before Elsa was crowned. It also has Kristoff punch out Hans for trying to kill Anna and Elsa during the climax.

On the positive side, however, the novelization is a vast expansion of the film, starting before Danny and Sandy meet and incorporating loads of extra scenes, such as the characters dealing with the death of Buddy Holly. Scattered throughout are profanities more representative of the original stage version (Kenickie calls Danny a "faggot" at one point); and there is a T-Bird named Roger, as in the play - Doody is merely the name of an otherwise unimportant Rydell student. But that's not all - the entire story is told from the point of view of Sonny, whose girlfriend is a Pink Lady named Marcia, the addition of whom causes all of the Pink Lady/T-Bird romances to be shuffled around.

John Gardner, who was writing Bond novels at the time, did the novelization. He had the unusual task of reconciling the film continuity (such as it is) with Fleming novels. For instance, in the film Felix Leiter gets his leg bitten off by a shark. But in the Fleming books, to which Gardner's novelization was meant to be a sequel, Leiter had already lost a leg to a shark (which happened in Live and Let Die). Gardner simply had the shark bite off Leiter's prosthetic without the bad guys noticing.

Novelization / int_8a339030	comment	Each of the Indiana Jones movies has been novelized. The one for Raiders of the Lost Ark features a good deal of Adaptation Expansion, with author Campbell Black adding his own scenes, one of which comprises an entire chapter. Of course, in the first chapter, Indy's failed quest to get the golden idol at the beginning. But instead of the second chapter being his return to the States and teaching his class, as in the film, it introduces Dietrich and has him being given his mission to obtain the Ark by a high-ranking Nazi named Eidel. Black also frequently cuts back to "meanwhile, with Belloq and Dietrich" style scenes throughout the book to make them (Belloq, especially) seem more like actual characters with their own story. James Kahn's novelization of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is faithful to the movie, except for one entire chapter (two) which deals with Short Round's life before meeting up with Indy. One of the elephants is called Large Short Round, which leads SR to assume it's his reincarnated dead brother. Kahn also negates a few of the movie's problems with Artistic License and even justifies some of them In-Universe; for instance, he has Indy and Captain Blumburtt discuss the very un-Hindu gross-out feast at Pankot Palace, turning it into a brilliant bit of Foreshadowing that all is not right at Pankot. Rob MacGregor's novelization of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is also relatively faithful to the movie, adding a few details such as the background behind the encounter with Panama Hat on the ship, the animal representations of the six stages of the Grail quests (all of which Indy encounters), what Elsa said in her sleep to make Henry realise she was a Nazi ("Mein FÃ¼hrer") and the Grail Knight's explanation of why he looks so old.

Some anime or manga side stories and sequels (or ideas from them) originate as novels. Series creator Yoshiyuki Tomino tended to write the novels based on the anime he directed, generally enjoying the greater creative freedom it gave him. Char's Counterattack has a particularly complicated history in this regard: Though part of the original anime's continuity, the story began as Tomino's serialized novel Hi-Streamer. He planned significant changes for its film adaptation that were rejected by the sponsors, most notably Amuro staying with and conceiveing a child with his Zeta love interest Beltorchka. In response, Tomino used those ideas for a new novel in its own continuity called Beltorchka's Children. Instead of being a one-off, Tomino used the book's continuity for the Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash novel trilogy, which decades later because its own film series.

Novelization / int_8b7b9cd5	comment	The novelization of A New Hope, ghostwritten by Alan Dean Foster, introduced several plot points not elaborated on in the movie, including the first official reference to Darth Vader as a "Lord of the Sith" and the name of the first Emperor (Palpatine). It has a fair bit of Early-Installment Weirdness such as Palpatine only being the first in a line of emperors and a powerless puppet rather than the Manipulative Bastard and Evil Overlord he would be established as in the later films. It has some scenes that didn't make it to the movie, like the special edition-exclusive Han and Jabba scene. Interestingly, it was released before the movie came out. (Unfortunately, since Foster wrote it before the script doctors got to it, you have to slog through a fair bit of George Lucas' original dialogue, about which Harrison Ford once said, "George, you can type this shit, but you sure as hell can't say it.")

Novelization / int_8f8df73b	comment	A lot of Disney and Pixar animated films have junior novelizations which change plot elements: including scenes not present in the film (e.g., the novelization of The Lion King (1994) adding an extra scene in the ending where Simba is alone at the top of Pride Rock at night), changing the fates of certain villains (e.g., the novelization of Cars 2 having Grem and Acer falling into a garbage truck instead of being beaten up inside a bar in London, England, one storybook based on The Aristocats ending with Edgar being fired by Madame instead of being sent to Timbuktu after getting into a fight with some alley cats), etc. Beauty and the Beast opens with a version of the originally planned, fully dramatized prologue dropped due to time and budget constraints. A mist springs up around the castle when the Enchantress's curse is cast (suggesting that this is why the villagers seemingly have no idea it exists), ending with the Beast on a balcony crying out for her forgiveness as she departs. Atlantis: The Lost Empire fills in a key detail with regards to Kida's fate: she returns after the Heart of Atlantis uses her to save the city because the averted catastrophe isn't because of its powers being used for evil, as was the case when Atlantis fell and the crystal pulled her mother into it. The Jr. novelization for Up condenses the movie heavily, eliminating some scenes, having important scenes take place off-page, making the pacing worse than the movie. This is most obvious in the climax, where a 15-minute climax takes ten pages to tell. Frozen's Jr. Novelization does keep the main plot intact, but without the music, condenses the numbers greatly. It also gives some small changes and additions. While not so much adding Word of God stuff, it does give out some small details you don't always know about. For example, the novelization states that Elsa was eight when the accident happened and gave Kristoff a bit more to do during the coronation, including the fact that he didn't stay for it. He just went back to get more supplies before Elsa was crowned. It also has Kristoff punch out Hans for trying to kill Anna and Elsa during the climax. Inside Out warranted two novelizations, one the traditional paperback "junior novelization", the other the longer hardback Driven by Emotions. The latter has each emotion recount the film's events from their first-person perspective in turn. Fear, Anger, and Disgust's actions are greatly expanded upon with details about how they guide Riley through a typical school day while Joy and Sadness are missing (and what they think of the environment). An entire additional scene involving Fear directing Riley to a library so everyone will have an idea what they might be facing as she runs away to Minnesota. Sadness's chapter (which closes the book) reveals why she made Riley cry so soon after she was born and suggests that her urge to touch the core memories and turn them sad, which she isn't quite able to explain/understand in the film, is the result of her being drawn to them because they want her to touch them.

The U.S. novelization was written by Randall Frakes, a close friend of James Cameron, after Cameron gave him access to the movie's backstory. Thus, most of the book goes into in-depth details about the characters' motivations and feelings. The U.K. novelization by Shaun Hutson didn't have the same luxury and serves more as a direct retelling of the movie in prose form, but makes up for it by describing all the acts of violence throughout the story in great detail.

In contrast, Shadows of the Past combined several episodes thematically related by focusing on Batman's and Robin's reasons for becoming crimefighters. The last one, The Dragon and the Bat, combines the two Kyodai Ken episodes; since this is significantly less material to adapt (and the original episodes didn't have much dialogue to start with), it's much bigger on Adaptation Expansion, like a subplot about Dick joining Bruce on his trip to Japan.

Novelization / int_93936882	comment	Yvonne Navarro wrote novelizations for Species and Species II that she made sure to notice in her website that for being based on the scripts before Executive Meddling cut details or downright dumbed down to "a bloodbath movie story" (with the original having the close collaboration of the film's writer), feel more like complete stories - although Navarro noted that the book for the sequel had meddling itself, as half of it had unfortunate editing by "a clueless television exec". The audiobook for the first, narrated by cast member Alfred Molina, even got an award.* After previously writing the comic book series of both characters, Peter David handled the novelizations of the Spider-Man Trilogy and The Incredible Hulk movies. Notably, the novelization of Spider-Man 3 included many scenes cut from the movie, most notably several scenes in the final battle that make it play out much differently than it did in the film. David also added the touch of giving names to background characters that went unnamed in the The Incredible Hulk film, which corresponded to similar characters from the source comics.

Novelization / int_988629da	comment	The novelizations of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock had several important plot points that were missing from the movies. It was established that Commander Sulu was to be promoted to captain and commanding officer of the USS Excelsior immediately after returning from the training mission, but the Genesis controversy caused Starfleet Commander Morrow to rewrite his orders. In Wrath of Khan, we see a developing mentor/protÃ©gÃ© relationship between Lt. Saavik and Cadet Peter Preston, the latter of whom has a crush on the former. The Genesis team members are all named and given plot development, including one who was Carol Marcus' lover. The torture of the Genesis team (sans three people) is shown in explicit detail, and towards the end, we see the beginnings of a friendship between Saavik and David Marcus. In Search for Spock, Saavik and David's friendship blooms into romance, which was unfortunately not seen in the movie. And when David is killed, Saavik becomes so enraged that she takes on three Klingon guards by herself and is only taken down after two disruptor blasts. (Also, Kirk doesn't say the famous line "You Klingon bastard, you've killed my son!"; he calls him a "spineless coward" instead). The Voyage Home was novelized by Vonda McIntyre, with some style. Spock and Sarek in particular get further upgrading via backstory and other lines. The famous What Could Have Been scene with Sulu meeting his great-great-grandfather is faithfully included, and Macintyre plays up (to the point of being Anvilicious about it) the conservation themes of the film, with Spock occasionally stopping by nondescript plants to say "Fascinating. An extinct species." Even McCoy's ranting gets an upgrade: McIntyre's Voyage Home novel also elaborates and expands on the probe's nature. It's a sentient being of near godlike power and is referred to as "the traveler." It's maintained contact with Earth's whales for centuries across the vastness of space and visited Earth previously before humans evolved. It considers whales a superior species because it enjoys their songs and doesn't even notice or care about humans. Its reason for coming is it heard the cries of the whales as they were hunted centuries ago. It had come with the intention of rescuing them, but the journey took so long that the whales are all dead by the time it arrived. When it discovers this, it plans to purge Earth of life and begin it anew - until George and Gracie are brought to the present and answer its call, persuading it to spare the planet. This explanation and backstory for the probe were eventually rendered non-canonical by a later novel entitled Probe, however, which revealed that [[spoiler space whales sent it]].

Novelization / int_ac719b97	comment	The movie Stargate has a novelization written by Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, the movie's writers (Emmerich was also the director). The book is slightly better than the movie. While it has the same ending, dialogue, and even shares its cover with the poster, the book provides more insight into each character's motivations, particularly Ra and Abydos's inhabitants.* Superman: Superman II had an unusual book, made up to look like Daily Planet news stories discussing the events of the film. Fitting into the newspaper motif, it also had fake ads, advice columns, a gossip column, and a classified ads page, all done tongue-in-cheek. Superman Returns's novelization includes a sizeable portion on Krypton that was not in the film - both the relationship between Lara and Jor-El and the Deleted Scene of Kal-El's return to Krypton. It also notably lacks the controversial Superman's son element. It has a good deal of internal monologue from Superman, particularly during the plane save scene and the island scene. Overall, Superman is portrayed as a much more fallible and struggling character, even shedding Manly Tears at Krypton's destruction. Supergirl (1984) had a novelization by Norma Fox Mazer which delved more deeply into characters, mainly Linda Lee and the witch Selena.

It elaborates on certain plot points: Lisa cheats on Johnny because she's dissatisfied with him fucking her belly button, and Denny asks for baking ingredients because he is making meth brownies. It's also available for free. Wiseau himself originally authored the story as a play, and then a 500-page novel before he decided to make it as an independent film.

It's therefore unsurprising that the movie spawned a novelization by Christopher Wood, who also wrote the screenplay. Entitled James Bond, The Spy Who Loved Me, it added characters and organizations from the Fleming novels to the plot and incorporates the events of the film into the literary Bond's continuity.

It raises many characters' backgrounds, and feelings such as Bruce, Betty, David, General Ross, Talbot (whom Betty considers the son her father never had), and even gives insight into the Hulk's thoughts. The book fills in some plot holes like how Benny Goodman died (David fed him to his dogs), and why the Gamma Dogs found Betty after the Hulk did if David sicced them on Betty before telling Bruce about it; in the book, David unleashes them after telling Bruce. Even Bruce's adoptive mother, Monica Krenzler, reappears near the end, seeing Bruce embracing Betty on the news. Some of the early script's notable details include the Hulk's fight with the mutant dogs, Talbot's death, and Betty calming the Hulk in San Francisco, where he kneels in pain and shame upon seeing her, and she gently touches him.

The series led to more than one Tie-In Novel, creating a 21-volume novel series that significantly expands on the original television series. The novels based on the unproduced scripts for The Sentinals were later adapted into the comic book series. The novelizations were declared to be Canon Discontinuity by the current head of Robotech licensing and production... and then the ones based on the T.V. series were later re-issued with new covers under the current Robotech branding. However, the novel-exclusive stories and related omnibus remain out of print, although some are officially available as e-books. All of the novels are easy to find through the used book circuit.

It adds exposition and back story to the main characters and gives the 4 survivors a puppy that they adopt from the mall's pet store. It contains the "happy" ending from the film and not the mythical downbeat alternative ending where Fran and Peter commit suicide. Most jarringly it changes the raiders at the end to pyschopaths who, despite working together as an organised team when raiding the mall, leave each other to die without even trying to help if caught by the zombies and in one instance actually "point and laugh" as one of their number gets eaten alive. It also has Peter display a sadistic side and makes it clear he enjoys shooting zombie Stephen at the end.The book was not well-received by fans as it takes is a flat retelling of the film and has the human characters act unrealistically.

Novelization / int_c09826ef	comment	The Human Comedy (1943) is a remarkably interesting example. Writer William Saroyan authored the story and screenplay for the film and was running to direct it. When he clashed with MGM head, Louis B. Mayer, Clarence Brown was selected instead. When Saroyan became dissatisfied with the resulting film, he wrote a novel that reflected his vision for the story and published it before the film was released. This action led many to believe the film was based on the novel when it was technically the other way around. Simultaneously, the film was later adapted for radio plays, a TV movie, and a musical. The novel was adapted as a film, released in 2015, entitled Ithaca, directed by Meg Ryan (in her directorial debut) and produced by Tom Hanks. In other words, it's the film based on the novel based on the film!

Novelization / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who stories began to be novelized soon after the show debuted. From 1973 to 1994, Target published almost every single Doctor Who story from the original series run in novel form, plus several unbroadcast stories such as audio drama The Pescatons and three stories slated but never made from the canceled Season 23. In the era before home video, the Doctor Who Novelisations were the only way many young fans had to relive the story. Despite their literary shortcomings (with some honorable exceptions), they are still sought-after and fondly remembered to this day. After Target's demise, BBC Books filled in their gaps; in 1996, they novelized the T.V. Movie; in the 2010s, they novelized Douglas Adams' Who stories, including Shada, which was abandoned during production; and in 2019, Eric Saward novelized his two Dalek stories, Resurrection of the Daleks and Revelation of the Daleks. They began releasing novelizations of the revival series in 2018. The movie script written by Tom Baker as a proposed Doctor Who feature film, Doctor Who Meets Scratchman, was also novelized. James Goss, who collaborated with Baker on the novel, took full license to go timey-wimey by adding in Doctors who hadn't yet been even created when the script was originally written, including the Fifth, Tenth and Thirteenth Doctors. The Sarah Jane Adventures also has novelizations of all the first season, the first two stories of season 2, and "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith". They use the space to add scenes that explain a few things (like adding events from "The Sontaran Strategem" and "The Poison Sky" shown from Sarah Jane's viewpoint to "The Last Sontaran") and add Ship Tease for Characters (like Luke/Maria in "The Last Sontaran").

It was based on an earlier version of the screenplay that suffered from invalidated script syndrome. The final result contains some things which would have made for intriguing scenes in the movie: the Queen telling the Dog Prince a "bedtime story" about how she ended up in prison, the literal burying of the magic ax, Virginia's Recurring Dreams about Wolf, or an interesting variation on the Swamp Witch's cottage scene with Clay Face rather than Acorn). Other sections have some surprisingly deep explorations of character and motivation: the longer conversations between Virginia and the Huntsman, Virginia and the Queen, Virginia and Snow White, or Virginia and Tony about her mother; or where they hear in Little Lamb Village about the Trolls ravaging the kingdom and Tony, who accidentally golded Wendell, feels responsible. And some explanations for otherwise head-scratching moments are included, such as the old woman in the forest and the Cupid girl in Kissing Town both being Snow White in disguise. There's also lots of fun snarking in the characters' thoughts, especially Wolf's and Tony's.

This proved simple enough in the original seasons when there were only 12 episodes each year. After the program shifted to doing 90+ episodes a year, liberties began to be taken about which scripts could be adapted and which ones couldn't. One advantage of the novels was that they took separated episodes and wove them into a single, flowing storyline. Eventually, the T.V. series itself would do it, too.

The author explicitly writes it as a comedy, just as the film is, but it's written in true Deadpan Snarker fashion, just as Venkman is. Few novelizations have such a grasp of the characters that they can sum up Egon Spengler like so: It should be noted that Ghostbusters actually has two different novelizations: one written by Richard Mueller (who later wrote for The Real Ghostbusters), the other written by Larry Milne and published in Britain - the latter, unusually, is written in the present tense and also contains bios of key cast and crew members... and, bizarrely, virtually all of the film's credits ("From Columbia-Delphi Productions"). The Ghostbusters II novelization isn't quite as great, but does have this line:

Dillard does a lot to redeem the movie's plot, adding considerable backstory to Sybok and his mother, and explaining that "God" had telepathically sent Sybok a formula for configuring a starship's deflector shields to penetrate the Barrier. After Sybok gets Scotty to set up the Enterprise's shields in this way, Klaa's Bird-of-Prey copies the same shield configuration in order to follow the Enterprise. It also gives background information on St. John Talbot, General Korrd, Cathlinn Dar, and J'Onn, and tells what led them all to their current circumstances on the godforsaken world of Nimbus III.

Novelization / int_df2eb6f4	comment	Highlander had one that added tidbits about the mythology (or the film's version it contradicts the series many times already), a scene where Connor first met Kastagir, and a few added bits to scenes in the film. Most notably, the novelization expands on the Kurgan's backstory. His First Death occurred in 970 BC, when his drunken father caved his head in with a rock. Upon returning to life, the Kurgan returned the favour by force-feeding his old man a searing hot stone, and then he went on the run and joined a bandit company. He eventually met another Immortal known only as "the Bedouin" who might be called the only friend the Kurgan ever had, and the Bedouin mentored the Kurgan in the way of the Immortals and the rules of the Game. Eventually though, the Kurgan takes the Bedouin's head — his first Immortal kill, and so begins the Game. Through centuries of hunting down Immortals and taking many of their heads, he also joined forces with various barbarian peoples of Eurasia to sate his unending hunger for Rape, Pillage, and Burn — he marched in the armies of the Vandals, the Goths and the Visigoths when they sacked Rome, fought the Huns and then later joined the Huns, went north to Scandinavia and took part in Viking raids, and even fought in Genghis Khan's Golden Horde. The book also expands on the ending after Connor kills the Kurgan and wins the Game. He returns to the antique shop and bequeaths it to Rachel as a final goodbye gift, then departs with Brenda to Scotland to open a new shop together in Camden Alley and touring the country together for a couple of months. In the final scene, Connor returns to the ancient ruins of his old home in the Highlands and finds the graves of Ramirez and Heather, the old tor long since worn away and felled by the elements. Fashioning a crude cross out of some timbers, he tells Heather that she would like Brenda as "she is much like you".

The occasional good novelization (for example, The Diary of Rupert Giles, Vol. 1, ironically by Nancy Holder, author of the infamously atrocious original post-season seven novel, Queen of the Slayers) seeps in.

Hell on Earth adapted Doom II and took place on an After the End Earth that had been overrun by demons and zombies. Partway through Infernal Sky, the series moves into far stranger sci-fi waters, virtually abandoning the source material by Endgame. Interesting reads, but definitely not what one expects when one picks up a book based on a game about killing monsters from hell. One interesting thing about the novels was that they went the Doing In the Wizard route in regards to the demons, which were revealed to be biotechnological terror weapons created by aliens, whose modus operandi was to design their bioweapons to resemble evil creatures from the mythology of each planet they invaded to spread fear among the populace better. Seems to be Canon Discontinuity, since most subsequent games have stuck with them being actual demons from an actual Hell (though the alien Super-Soldier thing would explain where they got the rocket launchers).

Novelization / int_e5da0fa0	comment	Rand and Robyn Miller, the original creators of the Myst franchise, collaborated with David Wingrove on a trilogy of novels that served as a sequel, prequel, and an even earlier prequel to the games themselves. There was a Myst strategy guide that read like a novelization. It included a brief backstory segment of the main character being a photographer (explaining the screenshots throughout the book) who found the Myst book in a library while looking for photography books. It also intentionally had him make mistakes on some puzzles to illustrate what you have to do if something goes wrong. The guide also included a more standard strategy guide format after the novelization version. The answer book for Riven: The Sequel to Myst uses the same approach. It has sections that have varying solution reveals, from obtuse questioning the environment to a literal walkthrough of the game in short story form. The latter is a true novelization of the game and a decent read.

All of the novelizations up until Alien: Resurrection were written by Alan Dean Foster, the same guy who ghostwrote the original Star Wars novel. At least, Foster cared about his books' tone, and they're written quite passably, if not well. The author's consistency also means there's little if any discontinuity between these three novels; the style and mood are the same across all three. Foster even gives his readers a wink by using similar images for the opening of each book, even though the films were the better part of a decade apart in each case.

Pepper's band magically gains the members of hundreds (literally) of other popular bands, all of whom are listed over the last several pages of the book. Unlike the Grease novel, musical numbers don't become awkward dialogue pieces - the characters sing as if in a musical movie. The story stops, the lyrics of a Beatles song are printed in full, and the story continues.

Novelization / int_f3ff4a44	comment	British-published novelizations of American T.V. shows were everywhere in the 1980s; some only had one book because of the parent show's short run- basically these would be novelizations of the pilot episode (Automan, Shannonnote a series with a post-Kojak and pre-Knots Landing Kevin Dobson as a widowed New York cop/single father who moves to San Francisco so his late wife's parents can take care of his son while Shannon's fighting crime in the City By The Bay), others got into plural figures (like Knight Rider and Street Hawk - the latter only lasted for 12 episodes after the pilot, but there were four books published covering said pilot and six regular episodes), with the champion being The A-Team (which clocked up ten books, all but one of which were based on episodes - only the first six of which were published in the U.S.).

Novelization / int_f61e0445	comment	Dempsey and Makepeace had six books by various writers, with the first by Jesse Carr-Martindale (one of the show's writers). Unusually, the first book wasn't based on the premiere as much as on a later season one episode, "Makepeace, Not War" - and the next two by Starburst regular/author John Brosnan under the pseudonym John Raymond. Brosnan got into trouble with London Weekend (the show's producers) when parents complained that he'd made the stories somewhat more explicit than the series was - in Lucky Streak (based on the episode of the same name and "Judgement"), Makepeace shoots a rapist in the crotch, which does not happen in "Judgement."

Novelization / int_f6a54e75	comment	The Kingdom Hearts series has tie-in manga for each game. They also have novelizations, with many characters made angstier and made-up scenes that wind up contradicting game canon as the series progresses. Game director Tetsuya Nomura noted this in one interview. It was probably a reason why he brought the novels' writer, Tomoco Kanemaki, on to actually help write the scenario for one of the actual video games, 358/2 Days, before writing the novel version (and even then, Nomura rewrote the script once she was done with it).

Novelization / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers had several novelizations based on the 2007 movie and its first two sequels. Alan Dean Foster penned the novelizations for Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen. Both books stick fairly closely to the finished films plot but with a number of minor differences such some changed dialogue and scenes. Jazz is killed when Megatron rips out his spark rather than being torn in half. Notably, Wheelie is called Wheels and has a more privative Dinobot-esque way of speaking, a holdover from an earlier script draft. Here, The Fallen promised to make Megatron a Prime as reward for his aliegence and Megatron abandons him to die after Optimus revealed that he lied. Foster also wrote two prequel novels to each movie, Ghosts of Yesterday which follows a Sector 7 lauched at the same timeas the Apollo 11 mission that runs into the Cybertronians and The Veiled Threat which follows the Autobots and NEST as they mop up Decepticon forces across the globe. Peter David wrote the novelization for Transformers: Dark of the Moon. It features several scenes that were changed in the finished film such as having Mudflap and Skips killed by Sentinel Prime. Notably Megatron's offer of a truce is accepted by Optimus here and the Decpticons leave Earth for Cybertron.

One of the elephants is called Large Short Round, which leads SR to assume it's his reincarnated dead brother. Kahn also negates a few of the movie's problems with Artistic License and even justifies some of them In-Universe; for instance, he has Indy and Captain Blumburtt discuss the very un-Hindu gross-out feast at Pankot Palace, turning it into a brilliant bit of Foreshadowing that all is not right at Pankot.
