Arthur C. Clarke's 2001 is about the only case I can think of where a professional author got involved in a movie novelization and succeeded. But that was a unique case - nobody else does the process like Kubrick & Clarke did.

I just wanted to say, I never read Arthur C. Clark's 2001, but Kubrick's filmic adaptation of the book ranks easily in my top ten of greatest movies ever made. I have a hard time watching the stargate sequence, even after mulitple viewings, as it is so disconcerting, and, for lack of a better word, creepy.

Clarke and Kubrick were definitely a match made in heaven. Sadly, that can't be said about the Kubrick/King pairing on The Shining. LOL!
