OvomorphMember0 XPApr-09-2012 4:26 PMi am the opposite (sadly), i can count how many books i've read in my adult life
on both hands, 3 of which have all been ALIEN related, but i will say that i have
read thousands and thousands of graphic books, so i am hoping there is
a balance in that regard
i read "Aliens" 24 hours before i saw the film, same with Alien3.
which i think lent itself to be being severely disappointed in both of those films
i think i will wait until after i've seen PROMETHEUS
to experience the novelization, i don't want to spoil it for myself

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-09-2012 4:29 PMI read a ton, which is good and bad for something like this. I love to read, but years of reading recreationally has made it harder for me to read poorly written material.
I'd love to read a well-written version of this movie, but I doubt a talented science fiction writer, or fiction writer, would do it. Do great authors do stuff like this? I guess I'm not familiar with post-script novelizations. I know 2001 was written at the same time as the script, but that was Kubrick and Clarke.

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-09-2012 4:41 PMyeah, 2001 isn't like modern novelizations. I read AVP before it came to the big screen and actually was excited because on paper the story is kind of cool but it just went horribly wrong somewhere. : (
I can't name an author that is well known that has written a movie novelization, but just because I can't remember one right now dosn't mean it hasn't happened.

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-09-2012 5:02 PMI still have my Dan O'bannon Alien novel! Read it after seeing the film,my first rated-R film.Scared the crap out of me.As a matter of fact,I remember my smart-ass blamed the film for why I got high after getting caught smoking weed a few years later.Mom and Dad didn't buy it.

OvomorphMember0 XPApr-09-2012 5:27 PMIn the Alien franchise, I've only read the first novelization and enjoyed it. Regarding Prometheus, it all depends on how much I enjoy the film and if I think a novel would help to clarify "foggy" (if any) aspects.

OvomorphMember26 XPApr-09-2012 5:44 PMAs I said in a similar post I did some weeks ago, I think
Alan Dean Foster would do a superb novelisation of Prometheus.

Shane
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-09-2012 8:34 PMTimothy Zahn is ok for that stuff as well. He wrote the only "Star Wars" books worth even considering reading.

BubbaChubbs
OvomorphMember0 XPApr-09-2012 8:38 PMHas anyone heard any news of a Prometheus novelization? I scoured the internet and the only movie tie-in I found was the art of Prometheus book.
@Shane - Timothy Zahn's Star Wars books are fantastic!

FacehuggerMember158 XPAug-06-2012 1:01 PMI would read the crap out of a Prometheus novelization. Saw the movie 3 times in the theater. I love dark Sci-fi, so this has turned into my new favorite movie, heh. I agree about Alan Dean Foster. I'm a big Riddick fan and he wrote the novelization for Chronicles and it's quite good. A novelization would be the perfect way to fill in the gaps for those of us who want to know more.

Custodian
OvomorphMember0 XPAug-07-2012 3:08 AMI'd read the novelisation now, as long as it was a three-book job.
Hint, hint.
2013 sci-fi horror novels 'Custodian' and 'Tandem' available from Amazon, B&N, iTunes etc...
