like those funny "official movie novelization"s you see at the supermarket whenever a big movie comes out?  like: 2 Fast 2 Furious: Official Movie Book.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

I remember reading Star Gate: the novelization and Rambo 2: the Novelizaion when I was younger.  In both instances they censored the cursewords (Star Gate people didn't even say "hell") but amped the violence.

Quote from: petewell, books to movies to book sequels written for movies?  Like Jurassic Park 2: the Lost World, Get Short 2: Be Cool, Hannibal Lecter sequels..etc.?

but... those were all sequels to books that were books before they were movies.

2001 : Movie and book at the same time, yet different
2010: book to movie
2061: book, no movie
2069: Porn parody... no book
3001: just book again
