NOVELIZATIONS

NOVELIZATIONS
   Everyone knows examples of books that were made into films. In science fiction, it often happens the other way around. Novelizations are novels adapted from movie scripts and published in conjunction with the release of a film.The Quatermass Xperiment was a big success as a novelization in 1959 - it was based on the 1955 Hammer film about an ancient Martianspaceship excavated in modern London. Theodore Sturgeon wrote the book version of A Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea in 1961.By the mid-sixties, movies and television were often novelized, including borderline SF shows, such as The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and The Prisoner. Some novelizations, like the ones for Star Trek, remained popular long after the show was cancelled.
