The Alien Covenant novel stays close to what ended up on screen, but this is not a simple summary of a movie. Think of this book as an extended cut of Covenant, with more 'internal dialogue' type of scenes more dialogue scenes between characters. Some characters really benefit from the extra content, especially Oram (the scene with the eggs now makes him seem much less stupid/gullible) David(you really get a sense of what his thought processes are like, yikes). Sometimes the novel is slightly different than the movie (Walter gets much more 'internal dialogue' stuff, the hypersleep reveal at the end is way, way more subtle than the theatrical ending), but there are no real drastic changes. Alan Dean Foster's writing is great as always, and I'm glad he was picked to do the novelization. Now if only he could do one for Prometheus. :)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good NovelizationBy R. C. ThomasNot a bad novelization. I was hoping the novel would give a little more insight to actions that the characters made in the film. There was some good background given on characters and their relationships with each other. I remember reading the novelization for the original Alien by Foster. Overall, a good novel.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. It's good. Not greatBy Totoro_MonIt's good. Not great, but good. I'd give it a 3.5 if I could. The writing is very well-done, but like the world of ALIEN, it feels a bit robotic at times. Maybe that's the point, but compared to other ALIEN novels I've read, I think it could have been spruced up a bit instead of being a kind of 'paint-by-numbers' affair. Still gives some good insight into areas the movie couldn't. Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created, with Alien: Covenant, a new chapter in his groundbreaking Alien adventure. The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise. But it is actually a dark, dangerous world.When they uncover a threat beyond their imaginations, they must attempt a harrowing escape.Acclaimed author Alan Dean Foster also returns to the universe he first encountered with the official novelization of the original Alien film. Alien: Covenant is the pivotal adventure that preceded that seminal film, and leads to the events that will yield one of the most terrifying sagas of all time. ldquo;a solid sci-fi adventure novel...If yoursquo;re a fan of Fosterrsquo;s previousnbsp;Aliennbsp;novels - or his work in general - itrsquo;s definitely worth a read.ldquo; -nbsp;Den of GeekAbout the AuthorAlan Dean Foster has written in a variety of genres, including hard science fiction, fantasy, horror, detective, western, historical, and contemporary fiction. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Approaching Storm and the popular Pip Flinx novels, as well as novelizations of several films, including Transformers, Star Wars, the first three Aliens films, and Alien Nation. His novel Cyber Way won the Southwest Book Award for Fiction, the first science fiction work ever to do so. Foster and his wife, JoAnn Oxley, live in Prescott, Arizona.

  • Exhibition Hall
    exhibition hall 15 the weird west exhibition hall - november 2010 chris garcia - editor, ariane wolfe - fashion editor james bacon - london bureau chief, ric flair - whooooooooooo! contact can be made at [email protected] Well, October was one of the stronger months for Steampunk in the public eye. No conventions in October, which is rare these days, but there was the Steampunk Fortnight on Tor.com. They had some seriously good stuff, including writing from Diana Vick, who also appears in these pages, and myself! There was a great piece from Nisi Shawl that mentioned the amazing panel that she, Liz Gorinsky, Michael Swanwick and Ann VanderMeer were on at World Fantasy last year. Jaymee Goh had a piece on Commodification and Post-Modernism that was well-written, though slightly troubling to me. Stephen Hunt’s Steampunk Timeline was good stuff, and the omnipresent GD Falksen (who has never written for us!) had a couple of good piece. Me? I wrote an article about how Tomorrowland was the signpost for the rise of Steampunk. You can read it at http://www.tor.com/blogs/2010/10/goodbye-tomorrow- hello-yesterday. The second piece is all about an amusement park called Gaslight in New Orleans. I’ll let you decide about that one - http://www.tor.com/blogs/2010/10/gaslight- amusement. The final one all about The Cleveland Steamers. This much attention is a good thing for Steampunk, especially from a site like Tor.com, a gateway for a lot of SF readers who aren’t necessarily a part of fandom.

  • 357 Literature and Cinema
    Journal of Social Studies Education Research Sosyal Bilgiler Eğitimi Araştırmaları Dergisi 2019:10 (4),357-369 www.jsser.org Literature and Cinema: Ways of Interaction in the 21ST Century Zulfia Zinnatullina1, Diana Davletbaeva2and Reseda Mukhametshina3 Abstract The research is based on the analysis of interaction of different forms of art: cinema and literature. Cinema is in very close connection with literature since the moment of emergence. In spite of this various discussions about the literature and cinema’s interaction continue. There is no consensus about the status of film adaptation, its fidelity approach or the influence of film to the text reception. It is possible to speak about the variety of types of relationship existing today between cinema and literature. For a long time, it was considered that cinema plays a secondary role in comparison with literature. The only possible algorithm of interaction between these types of arts is "literary work- scenario-screen version". However, there is a strong tendency towards the impact of cinema on setting new trends in literature. Along with the traditional “literary work – scenario – screen version” algorithm we also consider "literary work – scenario – screen version – literary work" (when details which appeared in the screen version influence the following parts of a literary work) or "scenario – movie – literary work" (when a literary work is created on the basis of the original scenario or the movie). Today writers and directors look for new ways of transferring of one art form’s peculiarities into another. As a result, we can speak about the existing interdependence between them. Key words: cinema, literature, interaction, intermediality, novelization, adaptation.

  • The Study of Novelisation: a Typology and Secondary Bibliography
    Belphégor Thomas Van Parys K.U. Leuven The study of novelisation: A typology and secondary bibliography The phenomenon of novelisation is remarkably widely underresearched, even within adaptation studies, which has generally limited itself – until quite recently – to the one-sided direction of literature to film. Considering that the field of ‘film and literature’, which has vigorously started emancipating itself over the past decade, has traditionally been regarded as only a subfield of film studies, it is obvious that the study of novelisation is rather marginal in the grand scholarly universe, in the film department as well as the literature department. While film adaptation studies focus on the adaptation from novel to film, literary science is primarily occupied with the study of highbrow literature. Needless to say, novelisations are widely derided and discarded as low forms of paraliterature. But the genre is peripheral in content as well, since the novelisation is a ‘hybrid’ form, often mixing film, literature, screenplay, and even film photography into one package. It is in other words ‘the odd novel out’ in the disciplinary academic world. Here I make a plea for more attention to novelisations, not to demand respectability for these novels per se (for bad writing is unfortunately the rule rather than the exception), but to show its significance and ubiquity as a cultural and literary practice. The novelisation is ideally suited to refine, modify, and perhaps subvert the typical pet peeves in film adaptation studies, such as the assumption of linearity or the notion of fidelity. In this essay, though, I will not concern myself much with the theoretical implications or the historical roots of novelisation.

  • 9 Fantastical Worlds and Futures at the World's
    FANTASTICAL WORLDS AND FUTURES AT THE WORLD'S EDGE: A HISTORY OF NEW ZEALAND SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY by Simon Litten and Sean McMullen CHAPTER 2: SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY REBORN With the late 1950s and 1960s came satellites passing overhead among the stars, the threat of nuclear annihilation, the growing presence of computers in science, commerce and industry, and space travel for humans. Overall the public was more aware of technology than ever before. Television reached New Zealand in 1960, and on television were such series as Men in Space, Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits and Out of the Unknown. In the cinemas, the films Doctor Strangelove and On the Beach made the public aware that destroying the world to save it from communism might not be a terribly sensible idea. Science and science fiction were suddenly highly visible and very fashionable, even in remote New Zealand. After over half a century of absence, science fiction novels by New Zealanders began to again be published in book form, now marketed as science fiction, making them a lot easier to track down. The first of these was Adrienne Geddes's novel of alien invasion, The Rim of Eternity (Collins Brothers and Co, 1964) published in Auckland. Geddes may well be New Zealand's first female science fiction author, but little is known about her, and this appears to be her only work. Michael Joseph was the author of The Hole in the Zero (Avon Books, 1967) and The Time of Achamoth (William Collins, 1977). The author was born in Britain but completed his schooling in New Zealand, and went on to become a professor of English.
