Oliver the Eighth - Script to Screen Just as still happens today - first comes some real-life incident, which inspires a story, which is adapted as a screenplay, then filmed as a movie, then licensed for ancillary rights, including a novelization (the value of which is seldom clear). The most interesting example so far was the life of William Randolph Hearst, which inspired the screenplay filmed as CITIZEN KANE, which begot several texts explaining how CITIZEN KANE was created and released, which in turn generated a documentary on the making of CITIZEN KANE, which itself has now just been dramatized by HBO for television! Watch for the novelization at better bookstores everywhere. |
