Literary adaptation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Literary adaptation is the adaptation of a literary source (e.g., a fantasy novel) by another medium, such as a film, video game or board game.
There are two ways of using a literary source: honour, and plunder. To honour the source, the medium will retain the characters and locales but may not use the structure or dialogue. A plundered literary source used by another medium will not resemble the original.
