Dear List Members There have been many film to novel adaptations. One thing that intrigued me about "Conspiracy Theory" was that the novel preceeded the film, and was in a sense an advertisment for it rather than an attempt to capitalize on an existing film's established popularity. The use of novels adapted from unreleased films seems recent. Is it? Thanks. Peter S. Latham ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.sa.ua.edu/screensite
