Revenge of the Sith's novelization completely blows the movie out of the water in so many ways. "This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker...Forever" is so much more emotional than simply yelling "NNOOOOOOOOOO!"
Ian Stouffer I was most blown away by Obi-Wan‘s internal monologue in the book. Stover is one of the best of that era of Star Wars writers. Honestly of all the clone wars novels that I’ve read I think Shatterpoint was just about the best one and would’ve made one hell of a film.
There are two novelisations of Terminator. You own the better of the two. There is an edition written by horror writer Shaun Hutson which was a pretty pedestrian translation of the movie itself. Unlike Randall Frakes, Hutson didn't get access to Cameron's notes and so wasn't able to include the character backgrounds and motivations.
Sean Young in Batman 89?! Very interesting never knew. Just read the first Batman and loved it. Purchased Batman Returns and the Batman Murders Warner Bros line of books. Been addicted to tracking down these movie tie ins ever since.
I'm watching your excellent video again. You have some great titles there. Nice 1st edition of 'Raiders...' I have only ever found the coloured foil reprints. I have that same Star Wars Trilogy copy, too. But also have the originals too (ANH is a reprint from c1980, though). Please keep us updated on any more you pick up. 👍
I remember in the 70’s, having novelisations of ‘Young Frankenstein ‘ and ‘Silent Movie’, ‘Thunderbolt and Lightfoot’, ‘The Dollars Trilogy.’.....Now, Tarantino is bringing out ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’ in this form next year
There’s so many from back then that one is usually not even aware of and are of course mega rare. I had no idea there were paperback novelizations of the dollars films until a few years ago and of course they never got reprinted!
As a stuck up nerd who does not enjoy Batman Forever that much, I 100% agree that the novelisation is excellent. Awesome collection too, I had no idea that a novelisation of the radio dramitization of Star Wars existed!
Pete 1972 thanks and I don’t consider you stuck up at all!😉 I can’t believe the long cut of BF is 170 min but hopefully it would have more good stuff in it. David went overboard in trying to improve literally everything and did so. As for the radio drama I had seen the book once before and when I finally found it again I snagged it. Now to get the other two!
Since the Snyder Cut is taking the Internet by storm, I would totally be all in for a good Directors Cut of Batman Forever. When it comes to Star Wars, as much as I ferociously despise the modern Disney climate, the classic Star Wars alongside the collectibles based on it still puts a smile on my face. 😊
Sometimes when you are so passionate for a certain hobby, a tiny bit of unintentional snobbery can show its ugly head. Besides the Dark Side is always lurking you know. 😈
Alan Dean Foster has tons of film novelizations - Krull, The Last Starfighter, Alien, The Black Hole, Outland, The Thing, Starman, etc. You'll need to get your hands on those too!
He is in all honesty the best novelisation writer. Of course it depends on what he has to work with, but he is brilliant at expanding scenes and character motivation.
I used to have a lot more novelizations than I have now, but I loved the novel treatments for Star Trek Generations, Jaws 2, Spider-Man 3, Batman. I cribbed the Matthew Stover line "this is how it feels to be..." for a short story I wrote😶
Oh man, I love collecting these. Around where I live, I can grab little paperbacks for pennies. I have 2001, After Earth, Alien, Chariots of Fire, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Cutthroat Island, E.T., Face/Off, The Omen, Platoon, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Red Heat, Star Trek TNG: All Good Things, The Sting, Terminator, and Wing Commander III (basically a movie). What could have been the centerpiece of my collection, Alan Dean Foster's The Thing, was unfortunately foiled by that bookstore's owner keeping it in a stack behind the counter, and couldn't make up her mind whether she actually wanted to price and sell the damn thing or display it.
I can’t stop ever. These are such wonderful goldmines of materials and different views of films. I hate it when you find a great copy of a rarer title and run into a store owner like that….
I notice you have the Metal Gear Solid novel which is a cute oddity, have you ever read the Resident Evil novels by S.D. Perry? Instead of being straight transcriptions of the game to page, they actually have lots of original elements like character histories and inventing new setpieces and two of the seven books are entirely original. Book 2, Caliban Cove, featuring a premise eerily similar to the eventual RE4 (a character from a previous entry acting on behalf of the U.S. government investigating an isolated town with a cult using a mind-controlling virus/parasite)
I thought so as well. In fact I read the novel long before I read the comic and felt the novel was stronger due to the greater focus. But the comic has so much extra material that had to be jettisoned so you really need both.
That hooked me reading them the first time but I’m always amazed most at their tone and how they each feel like a classic SF adventure novel and not exactly the movie we’ve all memorized.
@@DamnFoolIdealisticCrusader I never finished it because that style was tough at how young I was despite being an avid reader. But I remember what you mean, I should reread soon
I never knew Tron got a movie novelization until I saw one for sell on Ebay. Apparently written by Star Wars writer Brian Daley too. Apparently Tron: Legacy just got a Junior Novelization though when it came out. All the recent Godzilla movies seem to be getting ones too including this year's Godzilla vs. King Kong got a novelization.
I got hooked on the Rocky movies from reading their novelations b4 I ever saw the movies. I was hooked on Rocky movies ever since . I was 11 and it got me into boxing also.
The Close Encounters novelization was (supposedly) ghostwritten by Leslie Waller who also wrote (sometimes under the pen name Patrick Mann) novelizations for Dog Day Afternoon, Hide In Plain Sight, and the soap opera, sorry, drama series, Falcon Crest besides a whole bunch of original novels. How about an update video?
That wouldn't surprise me. I always wondered how Spielberg had time to sit down and write a novelization during such a hectic and long production. An update isn't a bad idea. I've picked up a couple more novelizations which I go over in book collection update videos.
I mean, the reason the name Leslie Waller is thrown around is because it comes from Spielberg himself, in an magazine interview (Starlog #19). Gives Waller full credit for ghostwriting the book, while he played editor and "polished it" in less than a week.
Haven't read a lot of novelization's, mainly because I just recently started getting into them. But the first one I did read was "2001: a space odyssey" what a read that was. Would highly recommend it if you're a fan of the film or a fan of scifi in general
Most tie ins can be very hit or miss but are at least fun quick reads. 2001 is one of those special cases where it’s essential to read because the novel was developed alongside the film and represents more of Clarke’s view of the story vs Kubrick’s view.
I have Star Wars 1976 novelization in paperback signed by Alan Dean Foster. I wish it was also signed by George Lucas but we can't have everything. It has the Ralph McQuarrie cover with Luke as a girl. I also have first editions of the illustrated Empire Strikes Back Novelization by Donald F Glut, and Return of the Jedi illustrated edition by James Kahn. I have Star Trek III novelization. By Vonda N. McIntyre. I'm trying to find a mint as new Star Trek II novelization as i never owned that one. I had read the motion picture novel by Roddenberry years and years ago from the library and it was kind of different. I know i must have read the novel for Star Trek II at some point though, because i remember the Peter Preston scenes. I remember liking the novelization for Generations and for Star Trek Nemesis. And them having cut scenes. In fact i've probably read all the star trek ones even novelized episodes. Except for the JJ Trek ones. I never did read those by Alan Dean Foster. I also remember the Raiders of the Lost Ark Novelization and Last Crusade being different from the movies. Also the Clone Wars novelization was better than the movie. That was written by Karen Traviss. Force Awakens was a major disappointment as a novelization. I haven't read the expanded last jedi or rise of skywalker and i don't know if i ever will.
Matthew Gaudet having an autographed original SW copy is a nice collectible! All of these are such truly fun reads. Check your local bookstores for the other Trek film novelizations. I see the TOS film ones appear frequently but strangely never the TNG ones. I did read the TFA novelization because Foster wrote it and it really wasn’t worth it because I don’t think he was allowed to add anything-though I felt the book was better because the characters felt a little more fleshed out.
@@DamnFoolIdealisticCrusader , my problem with the novel and the screenplay is that they hint Rey is Luke's daughter. But it was either an abandoned concept of JJ's or just another red herring mystery box. Since that was then retconned into her being a no one, and then in rise of skywalker again retconned to being Palpatine's clones daughter. The novel does give Leia a bit more to do, and they actually slightly mention the New Republic and politics which they did not in the movie i think because of the prequels.
Yes, the TNG movies all had novelizations. They also all had junior novelizations as well. The two J.J. Abrams Star Trek movies have novelizations as well, but Star Trek Beyond didn't for whatever reason. By the way, I had the Queen Amidala and Anakin covers for The Phantom Menace, and that exact copy of the Star Wars Trilogy collected edition of the original three Star Wars novelizations.
I looked it up on the Star Wars Wiki and the Return of the Jedi Radio Dramatization did indeed have it's script published in book form in 1996, just after Brian Daley's death, and it was the last Star Wars thing he ever wrote.
Ironically after I finished this video I found the Alan Dean Foster novelization for the 2009 film. I love the design of this particular Star Wars trilogy paperback. One day I’d like to get the ESB and ROTJ book versions. I really should read more of Daley’s other work as I adore his writing.
@@DamnFoolIdealisticCrusader Nice! I had most of the Star Trek movie novelizations, except for First Contact (I had the junior novelization instead), and Into Darkness when I was in my twenties, but got rid of them when I was moving into the house I'm living in now. Yeah, I loved that Star Wars Trilogy paperback edition. I also had each novel individually as well. They did something similar with the prequel novelizations too, though it was a trade paperback format book rather than mass market, which made putting them together on the shelf difficult since I didn't have the trade paperback re-release of the Star Wars Trilogy book. Honestly, I think Star Wars overshadowed the rest of Daley's work, because I've never seen anything else written by him on the shelves at any bookstore I've been to. Just the constant reprints of his Han Solo books. You'd think someone would've reprinted his non-Star Wars related work after his death, but if they have I've never seen them.
The Review Basement I’m in the same boat. I’ve never seen a non-SW Daley novel in a bookstore. They seem to republish or repackage the trilogy novelizations all the time. On one hand I hope people will actually read them but on the other it’s like you got it right with the one small paperback version!!
Interesting collection of novels, although I couldn’t help but notice one glaring omission in your superhero section. What have you got against the GOAT Superman?!?
Nothing it’s just what I find in bookstores. After I made this video I did eventually find the novelization of Superman III and Last Son of Krypton. I also enjoyed the Last Days of Krypton novel.
If you don't mind me asking, there is just a couple questions that I wanted to ask even though some are very similar questions: What is the last decade of cinema you liked, and what is the last decade of cinema you loved? And last, when did at least major Hollywood films as a whole go significantly downhill in your opinion? Let me know if any of the questions come off too vague.
Pete 1972 that’s a big question to chew on. I never really thought about if before in that way but I suppose it has gone downhill and changed over my lifetime. I suppose that last decade I was ok with was the 90’s. As for choosing a favorite decade that’s tough but I will say it probably would be the 30’s or 40’s because the sheer percentage of great titles and talent is overwhelming.
The 40s especially is absolutely incredible, might be my favourite decade of the Golden Age of Hollywood. But what about the 70s and 80s? In terms of aesthetics, amazing storytelling and the lack of restraint that came before, 70s and 80s were really the peak for bold entertainment in so many respects. But I do agree that there can easily be a case made for the 30s-50s.
As a whole when it comes to the 70s and 80s, which one do you personally prefer over the other in terms of just personal taste? Because both decades do have a very different vibe.
Pete 1972 these are good and hard questions. I could probably make the case for any of those decades if I’m honest. Of course the 70s really had the freeing up of restrictions that allowed for some of the most open films to be made since the adoption of the production code in 1934. So if just choosing between the 70s and 80s it would have to most likely be the 70s simply because the outburst of creativity was so massive and it was the short-lived Hollywood Renaissance as it’s termed nowadays. Though if you study that you have to link it to the counterculture and emerging new styles of the late 60s which in turn were really inspired by the French new wave and others throughout the 50s and early 60s.
David Seltzer wrote the novelization and it’s one of my all time favorites. There were ones of 2 and 3 and then eventually standalone novels were written called Omen IV and V.
I can't believe you left out the GREATEST movie novelization of all time: Lord of the Rings!!!! It *really* expands on the movies and has so many new scenes and adds details to Peter Jackson's screenplays. I was VERY disappointed by the Hobbit novelization, it's really short and leaves out a lot scenes and characters and doesn't follow the movies, maybe it was based on an earlier script. SKIP the tie-in "prequel" book The Silmarillion, it's really boring and contradicts the movies, I have no idea how that even got published, just a cash grab, and the normal novelization author had his son write it LoL lazy/nepotism.
