What is a movie novelization?

Well, a novelization of a movie is when a writer takes the plot and characters from the movie and turns it into a full-length novel. It can offer more depth to the story, additional character development, and sometimes different perspectives.

Not that I know of. But you could check with official movie sources or look for announcements from publishers.

Not that I'm aware of. I haven't heard of any official movie novelization for It Chapter 2.

Yes, there is. Some movies get novelized to offer a different reading experience for fans.

Well, it's not a straightforward yes or no. Usually, it depends on various factors like how closely it adheres to the main storyline and if it's been endorsed as canon by the production team.

To write a good movie novelization, start by watching the movie multiple times to notice all the details. Then, expand on the story, add more depth to the characters' thoughts and feelings. Also, describe the settings vividly to bring the world to life for the readers.

Novelization mainly serves to expand and deepen the story from another medium, like a movie or a game, giving more details and character development.

A companion novelization is basically a novel based on an existing story or franchise. It offers additional details, backstories, or alternate perspectives to complement the original.

The book might have more detailed character backstories. In the movie, time is limited, but in the novelization, there could be more exploration of the main characters' pasts, which can make their actions and decisions more understandable. For example, the lead scientist's motivation for studying Godzilla could be more deeply explored.

The novelization often adds more depth to the characters' inner thoughts and backstories. This gives you a deeper understanding of their motives and emotions that might not have been as obvious in the movie.
