>studio desperate to recoup production costs publishes a flop's screenplay
Any more examples of this?

In olden days (basically pre-2010), there would be a full novelization of a blockbuster film based on the script (if it wasn't based on a book itself), and all the deleted scenes would be written in. I'm not sure when they stopped doing it.

I read the novelization of Saving Private Ryan. It sucked.

Wow I had no idea this was a thing, is it worth it to read these? - specifically, pulp horror movie ones
I've never seen saving private Ryan but I've heard it sucks.

They did novelization based on movies which were based on books. In a box somewhere I have the novelization of Bladerunner, it is terrible.

That seems to be the exception, though. Most of the stuff based after books just got the ol' "Now a Major Motion Picture"/movie poster cover.

I'm not sure why they don't do novelizations anymore, if they sold terribly or it would make normies realize how badly modern movies are written. Iron Man 2008 got a novelization, but could you imagine some of the later quipfests getting novels churned out by hack writers who will indulge in fetishes?

Not at all, they did novelizations for everything back in the 80s/90s, Jurassic Park even had one.

The Taxi Driver is apparently decent

Fred Saberhagen wrote a novelization of the movie "Bram Stoker's Dracula," directed by Francis Ford Coppola, that includes all three guys' names on the cover.

Alan wrote some of the most well known ones including Alien and Star Wars. He explains the trade in this book and they were always the forgotten bastard child of the business. They wanted them to write novelizations without access to scripts or even designs, to be ready at or shortly after release.
What you, and many other boomers, took to be the “real story” with a lot of background and motivations and setups is just shit invented because the author had no clue what the story was. Because I too am a boomer I know how people treated these books and tie in books (as if they got some backstage to the mind of the creator). It was all bullshit. If they were any good it’s by complete accident. There was as much thought put into it as the lunchboxes. All part of the long tail of cash in slop.

The original script for Strange Days was published.
It wasn’t exactly what was used for the movie, and the introduction even mentions some of the cuts to the script that were made for the film, so presumably published after the film was edited and released.

Dont know

probably not
