There's money to make, and there's MONEY to make. Take all the Star Wars
novels out there. Turn a good one into a feature film? Why bother? You
can't sell novelization of the movie, because the original novel has been
out there. Make the X-wing vs. TIE Fighter game into a Star Wars movie?
Why make a film based on merchandise made to support another film in the first
place? I mean the idea sounds really good on paper, but if you've played
Street Fighter: the Movie then you'll know how bad such an idea can be.
