This is likely a bold move, considering it's my first foray into this group forum but..
Could I possibly bend your ears for a moment on the reverse concept of movies that have had novelizations crafted from scripts and so forth... more specifically one film that bends its reality into my waking mind once every few months-- It's the reason I've sought out the novelization, why I scoured the interwebs recently attempting to find that one, lone dusty copy...
Yes, gang, I'm referring to Robocop. Now, I can hear you (some of you..one of you, et cetera) saying Robocop. Really. Huh. Okay....and I'd fully understand that, considering the breadth of novels that were made into motion pictures that are in ways seemingly deeper on the surface than what I've chosen (and backwards no less..)
But..
I've often found myself looking for more instances...more traces of Alex Murphy/Robo chasing the remnants of his former humanity. I'm lost in fascination over this. It reaches me in ways I can't quite express. So when I lightbulb ephiphanied on the idea of the film novelization, I briefly considered sourcing it...because quite frankly film novelizations (instead of the other way around. Stay with me. I'll likely reference this again another half dozen times.) can be potentially hit or miss. (There's surprisingly good and there's rushed hacked job make a bucks.)
And yet...
Reading the reviews of this work by Ed Naha based on the Neumeier/Miner script (as to whether it's the final work or the earlier drafts is a source of headscratchery), it seems Mr. Naha delved far deeper into the aforementioned humanity of the character than the film allowed(though the film did have those moments, i.e., "I can feel them but I can't remember them." scene) ...and if this is indeed the case, I'm fully sold and the wanton desire to absorb and satellite back will be staggering. Of course there's that chance of exceeding the expectation--being too close to the idea and jumping the shark but... I feel if you're willing as a writer to examine the inner workings and thoughts of your character, you have to truly get inside the mind...and if you've succeeded and have shown the private life, the conflicts, the true nature...then you really do know who this person is.
I'm there for that. Cross the -ts and lowercase js. Right there on the dotted line.
Did find a few leads. Poised to pull the proverbial trigger on the purchase...
Hoping for the best, but trying to maintain a cool headed level of expectation. We'll see-
