| 20 | Let's say you write a book. The readers love it, the critics love it, and everyone wants to see a movie of it. But when [[TheFilmOfTheBook the movie]] finally comes out, it's a major letdown. Or perhaps it works out fine, but a few years later, people still love the book yet [[FleetingDemographicRule don't seem to remember]] that the movie ever happened. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Not wanting to waste a good story, the studio makes up its mind to try again. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | And again, and again, and again. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Anyway, this is all about stuff that doesn't merely get multiple or long-running adaptations, but actually has a whole bunch of [[AlternateContinuity Alternate Continuities]] (preferably at least three within the same medium) as a result. Perhaps in some cases, the audience will "win" and one adaptation will [[AudienceColoringAdaptation cement itself in the public memory for all time]].... Perhaps the studios will keep playing anyway. In most cases, it seems they just can't seem to get it right, but that's always a matter of opinion. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | This is ''[[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant not]]'' about works that simply have [[LongRunners lots of sequels]] or vast {{expanded universe}}s within the same continuity; in other words, ''Franchise/StarWars'' and ''Franchise/StarTrek'' are not examples. [[note]] ''Star Wars'' almost could count as an example for the sheer number of times the individual storyline of each film has been adapted. ''Film/ANewHope'', for example, has two {{novelization}}s, three comic strip versions, a {{manga}} version, a RadioDrama version, some journals written from the POV of the characters, is retold in part of the ''[[VideoGame/LegoAdaptationGame LEGO Star Wars]]'' video games, and a version written InTheStyleOf Creator/WilliamShakespeare. However, all but the Lego and Shakespeare versions [[RetCon supposedly]] take place in the same continuity. [[/note]] |

| 42 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 43 | * ''Manga/{{Appleseed}}'' (manga, 1980s anime OVA, recent CGI movies, and now a new CGI series) |
| 44 | * ''Manga/BoysOverFlowers'': The original manga has no less than four official live action series adaptations (one in China, one in Tokyo, [[Series/BoysBeforeFlowers one in Korea]], and one in Thailand), plus a second, unofficial Chinese adaption, remakes in Indonesia (which got its ''own'' remake in 2017) and India, a drama in Turkey inspired by the premise, and an anime. Its sequel manga also recieved a live action adaptation in 2018. |
| 45 | * ''Anime/CodeGeass'' has only one full-length anime, but there are ''four'' separate and [[AlternateContinuity completely different]] manga adaptations as well as three games based on it. As of early 2012, two spinoff [=OVAs=], a film version of the original series, and yet another alternate-viewpoint manga are planned (the original anime came out in 2006). |
| 46 | * ''Anime/CuteyHoney'' has five animated incarnations, three live-action incarnations, and five manga incarnations. Try asking a fan of the show where Honey's powers come from. Try asking them whether or not she's human; the answer changes in every version. You'd think they'd run out of answers to a yes/no question eventually, but no... |
| 47 | * ''Manga/DeathNote'' became so popular that it got adapted into an anime, [[Literature/AnotherNote two]] [[Literature/LChangeTheWorld light novels]], various tabletop games, a mini web series, [[Theatre/DeathNoteTheMusical a musical]], and [[Film/DeathNoteSeries four Japanese live-action films]] plus [[Film/DeathNote2017 an American one]], with reports that the American version will have a sequel. |
| 48 | * ''Franchise/DragonBall'': |
| 49 | ** The Saiyan, Namek, Androids/Cell, and Buu arcs in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' might count, as almost every game released ever since they started back in ''1988'' covers one or several of them and quite a few cover those and ''just'' those (despite this necessitating that they start about a third of the way through a serialized story, entirely skipping ''Manga/DragonBall''). The only exceptions are either sequels to them or the ones that cover Kid Goku stories (either ''Manga/DragonBall'' or ''Anime/DragonBallGT''), which are very few. They're the only arcs to be adapted on ''Anime/DragonBallZKai''. It has gotten to the point where "Radit to Buu" has become a fandom shorthand for works focused only on this period. The original seventeen [[NonSerialMovie Non Serial Movies]] were also loose adaptations of series events, and were repeatedly implied to be set in the same continuity as one another. |
| 50 | ** There are ''three'' versions of ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', all based on Creator/AkiraToriyama's original plot outlines and sketches: the film series, [[Manga/DragonBallSuper the manga]], and the anime TV show. None of them are in-continuity with one another, all have mutually exclusive depictions of the same events, and all of them ran (often at the same time), throughout the mid to late 2010s. As a bonus, ''Super'' has also been adapted in a ton of video games already. |
| 51 | * ''Manga/GeGeGeNoKitaro'' has had six different anime series across various decades, one DarkerAndEdgier anime, and a few live-action versions. |
| 52 | * ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'' ([[Manga/GhostInTheShell manga]], movies ([[Anime/GhostInTheShell1995 animated]] and [[Film/GhostInTheShell2017 live-action]]), ''[[Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex Stand-Alone Complex]]'' anime TV series, ''[[Anime/GhostInTheShellArise Arise]]'' OVA series). |
| 53 | * ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'' has a 43-episode anime adaptation, a live-action film, and no fewer than 4 live-action TV series. And then there's the spinoff ''GTO: 14 Days in Shonan'' and the sequel ''GTO: Paradise Lost''. Its predecessor ''Manga/GTOTheEarlyYears'' also has several live-action adaptations and an {{OVA}} series. |
| 54 | * ''Manga/HimitsuNoAkkoChan'' has three anime, a LiveActionAdaptation, and a reboot manga. |
| 55 | * ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' probably gets the award for the most thorough invocation of this trope in the shortest amount of time. At present, there has been the original manga, two broadcast {{Animated Adaptation}}s, a LiveActionAdaptation, a few {{OVA}}s, ''a second manga released parallel to the first'', a SpinoffBabies series, and a movie covering an alternate end to the manga. Only the {{OVA}}s and the first manga seem to occupy the same continuity. |
| 56 | * ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' is famous for this. The original anime and manga series are set in similar, but distinct continuities. Then after that you get into the ''Raising Project'' games, the ''[[Manga/ShinjiIkariRaisingProject Raising Project]]'', ''Girlfriend of Steel''/''Iron Maiden'', ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'', ''[[Manga/NeonGenesisEvangelionAngelicDays Angelic Days]]'', ''[[Manga/NeonGenesisEvangelionCampusApocalypse Campus Apocalypse]]'', [[SuperDeformed Eva Pucchi]], the reportedly-still-under-development live-action movie... oh, and ''End of Evangelion'' as possibly alternative ending. |
| 57 | * ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' has two different multi-volume manga (''Manga/TheElectricTaleOfPikachu'' being the first and ''Satoshi to Pikachu'' being the second), a [[Theatre/PokemonLive theatrical musical adaptation]], multiple theatrical films, numerous manga adaptations of said films, various {{Tie In Novel}}s, several {{novelization}}s (the most famous being ''Literature/PocketMonstersTheAnimation''), and several radio dramas (including ''Radio/PokemonTheBirthOfMewtwo'' which was later animated as the prologue to the first film). |
| 58 | * ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. The original TV anime, a manga (plus two SpinOff manga), a novelization, a PSP game, and now a pair of {{Compilation Movie}}s. And all of this was announced in less than a year after it started, so there's still the possibility of more still being created. |
| 59 | * ''Anime/{{Robotech}}'' spun off of ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'', merging it with ''Anime/SuperDimensionCavalrySouthernCross'' and ''Anime/GenesisClimberMospeada''. Then there were novelizations and RPG and comic adaptations, none of which quite perfectly matched with the others. There were spin-off novels and comics, as well. Then there was an abortive 3-episode sequel series, which was again adapted and continued three different ways in comics, novels, and games. Then there was the sequel ''WesternAnimation/RobotechTheShadowChronicles''. |
| 60 | * ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' has, in roughly chronological order: the ''Sailor V'' manga, the actual ''Sailor Moon'' manga, the original anime adaptation in the '90s, the original set of musicals from the '90s (which lasted until 2005), a live-action adaptation in 2004, a bucketload of video game adaptations/spin-offs/what-have-you (from typical '90s beat-em-ups and arcade games to an official smartphone game), a ''new'' batch of musicals unrelated to the first in every way, and the 2014 anime. This is discounting the ''attempted'' American cartoon-live-action hybrid thing in the '90s, and -- if one wants to consider them different adaptations because of how [[{{Macekre}} different]] they are -- various dubs from around the world. Also, a weird set of American novelizations from the '90s, and who knows what other obscure (but official/licensed) adaptations from other corners of the world. Every adaptation is ''very'' different from the rest. |
| 61 | [[/folder]] |
| 62 | |
| 63 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 64 | * ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'': There have been one [[Film/ArchieToRiverdaleAndBackAgain made-for-tv film]], one [[Series/{{Riverdale}} live action show]], numerous animated adaptations [[WesternAnimation/TheArchieShow dating back to the 1960s]], and at least [[Radio/TheAdventuresOfArchieAndrews one radio show]]. |
| 65 | * ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': The Batman mythos has very much fallen prey to this. Batman was already one of the most commonly-adapted characters, with three adaptations/series in the 2010s alone (''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'', the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse, and ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoBatmanMovie''). But then there's the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'', the ''Film/{{Joker|2019}}'' film, a new potential movie series starting with ''Film/{{The Batman|2022}}'', ''Series/{{Gotham}}'', ''Series/{{Pennyworth}}'' and ''Series/{{Titans|2018}}'' and some glimpses in the Series/{{Arrowverse}} (there's been ''four'' different live action incarnations of Bruce Wayne in 2019 alone with ''Gotham'', ''Joker'', ''Titans'' and ''Series/{{Crisis on Infinite Earths|2019}}''), and numerous animated series. And that's not even counting the WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies. And the death of Bruce Wayne's parents isn't done being reenacted in many cases. |
| 66 | * ''ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}'': Despite being a relatively young property owned by one guy, ''Hellboy'' has at least four continuities, including the original comics, the animated series, the [[Film/Hellboy2004 live-action film series]] and a [[Film/Hellboy2019 film reboot]]. There are also at least two "little Hellboy" spinoffs. |
| 67 | * ''ComicBook/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'': There have been two [[Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch live-action]] [[Series/ChillingAdventuresOfSabrina TV shows]], three cartoons, and a MadeForTVMovie. |
| 68 | * ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Of all the superhero properties, Spider-Man has been rebooted the most frequently in recent years: his appearances in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' and ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' and his solo films ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' and ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' has marked the [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy third]] [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries iteration]] of the character in just over ten years. And that's not counting multiple cartoons, live-action series in both the US and Japan, videogames and a Broadway musical! |
| 69 | * ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'': As the first superhero, ComicBook/{{Superman}}, has been adapted over and over again since the first animated version in the 1940s - The Other Wiki's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_(franchise) article on that]] opens with a laundry list of actors and voice actors who were the Man of Steel at some point! In live-action alone, the 2010s had the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse, ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', and the version in the Series/{{Arrowverse}}, and also a Superboy in ''Series/{{Titans|2018}}''. |
| 70 | * ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'': Starting as a comic book series it has expanded to four cartoon series ([[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantninjaTurtles1987 one only loosely based on the original comics]]; [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 another that started out a direct adaptation but later diverged]]; [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 the third somewhere in between]], [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles the fourth being a rather fresh take]]), two anime [[OriginalVideoAnimation OVAs]], two live-action specials (song themed), [[Series/NinjaTurtlesTheNextMutation a live-action series]], three other comic book series, a daily strip, five live-action films, two CGI films, several kids' books, novels, magazines, games, and crossovers, and heaven know how many toys and merchandise (including a set of "automutating" TMNT ''transformers''). |
| 71 | [[/folder]] |
| 72 | |
| 73 | [[folder:Comic Strips]] |
| 74 | * ''Franchise/TheAddamsFamily'' started as [[ComicStrip/TheAddamsFamily one-panel comic strips]], then became [[Series/TheAddamsFamily a TV show]] in 1964 and many other adaptations followed, including [[Film/TheAddamsFamily two live-action theatrical films]], [[WesternAnimation/TheAddamsFamily1973 two]] animated [[WesternAnimation/TheAddamsFamily1992 TV series]], [[Theatre/TheAddamsFamily a Broadway musical]] and, after a relatively long period of quietitude, [[WesternAnimation/TheAddamsFamily2019 an animated film]], which then got a [[WesternAnimation/TheAddamsFamily2 sequel]]. There was also a spin off focused on the daughter, Wednesday Addams, simply called ''Series/{{Wednesday}}''. |
| 75 | * Likewise, ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' has [[WesternAnimation/GarfieldSpecials lots of television specials]], two cartoons (''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldShow''), [[Film/{{Garfield}} two live-action movies]], [[WesternAnimation/GarfieldAnimatedMovieTrilogy a few straight-to-video animated movies]], many video games, a Creator/BoomStudios comic book... and some different approaches, such as the book/special ''ComicBook/GarfieldHis9Lives'' and the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet_Force Pet Force]]'' series. |
| 76 | * ''ComicStrip/LittleOrphanAnnie'' has had several film adaptations, a fairly popular radio series, and [[Theatre/{{Annie}} a hit musical]] which spawned three of its own film adaptations as well as sequels both on screen and in the theatre. |
| 77 | * ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' inspired many animated films and television specials, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanuts_filmography two stage plays and some video games]], a Creator/BoomStudios comic book, and [[WesternAnimation/ThePeanutsMovie feature film]]. Plus lots of merchandise. |
| 78 | [[/folder]] |
| 79 | |
| 80 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 81 | * Within the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanbase, many fan works exist that attempt to retell the series with new characters, concepts, or twists. Because so few of these last long enough to cover all nine seasons of the canon show, a common practice is to only adapt the events of the first season and its 26 episodes. As a result, fans who pay attention to a lot of fanfics and [[TheAbridgedSeries abridged series]] will inevitably see these 26 episodes adapted over and over and over again; ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft'', ''WebVideo/MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries'', ''WebVideo/ScootertrixTheAbridged'', ''Fanfic/TwilightGetsAPuppy'', and ''[[Fanfic/TheLifeAndTimesOfAWinningPony The Winningverse]]'' are all examples that retell specifically these entries. |
| 82 | [[/folder]] |
| 83 | |
| 84 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 85 | * The 2011 Korean film ''Film/{{Always|2011}}'' has had four remakes so far with different names: a 2014 Turkish version called ''Sadece Sen'', a 2015 Indian-Kannada remake titled ''Boxer'', the 2016 Hindi version ''Do Lafzon Ki Kahani'' (trans. A Tale of Two Words), and lastly, a 2020 Japanese remake with the name ''Your Eyes Tell''. |
| 86 | * ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' has been retconned and rebooted at least four times, not counting the comic books adaptions: |
| 87 | ** The original intent of Creator/JohnCarpenter was to makes an anthology movie serie. With each movie telling a story unrelated to the previous with sole connection the theme of Halloween and supernatural horror. The [[Film/Halloween1978 first]] [[Film/HalloweenII1981 two]] movies released three years after the first, tell the story of Michael Myers, a silent psychopath terrorizing the Haddonfield neighborhood. The third movie ''[[Film/HalloweenIIISeasonOfTheWitch Season of the Witch]]'' opens a new story. Viewers were expecting to see Michael Myers again and weren't pleased to see something irrelevant to what they expected. |
| 88 | ** The aptly named ''Film/Halloween4TheReturnOfMichaelMyers'' brought back the masked killer, only for two [[{{Sequelitis}} increasingly worse sequels]] to eventually bring a continuity fix in ''Film/HalloweenH20TwentyYearsLater'', ignoring all but the first two. And after [[Film/HalloweenResurrection the sequel to that]] tanked, [[Film/Halloween2007 a remake of the first]] was made, even warranting [[Film/HalloweenII2009 a follow-up]]. Ultimately, another continuity purging was done in ''Film/Halloween2018'', which took only the first movie as canon. |
| 89 | * A new version of ''Film/InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers'' seems to be released once every twenty years. There's ''Film/{{Invasion of the Body Snatchers|1956}}'' (1956), ''Film/{{Invasion of the Body Snatchers|1978}}'' (1978), ''Film/BodySnatchers'' (1993), ''Film/TheInvasion'' (2005), and a fifth version is in DevelopmentHell as of this writing. |
| 90 | * Similarly, the TearJerker Korean movie ''[[Film/MiracleInCellNo7 Miracle in Cell No. 7]]'' has several adaptations, including an Indian Kannada film, a Turkish film and a Philippine film that were both released in 2019, an Indonesian film, and will have an upcoming Spanish remake in 2021. |
| 91 | * ''Film/MySassyGirl'', another successful Korean movie, has ''8'' remakes. It had been remade as a Korean series (though remade as a historical piece), a Japanese series, an American film, a Nepalese film, an Indian film, a Chinese film, a Lithuanian film, and a Philippine film was announced to be released in 2021. The original is so iconic that there are remakes still being made for it today, even though it's an old 2001 movie. |
| 92 | * ''{{Film/Nikita}}'': Since being released in 1990, the French Luc Besson film has directly inspired one American film remake, ''Point of No Return'' (1993); one Hong Kong remake, ''Black Cat'' (1991); two TV series, ''Series/LaFemmeNikita'' (1997-2001) and ''{{Series/Nikita}}'' (2010-2013); and indirect remakes like Korean film ''Film/TheVillainess'', which is itself getting an American TV adaptation. |
| 93 | * The Italian film ''Film/PerfectStrangers'', about seven people at a dinner party whose secrets are exposed after they agree to share every e-mail or text message they receive that evening. Since its release in February 2016, [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4901306/movieconnections/ it has been remade at least 14 times]] (some more offical than others) in different countries, with more on the way, the first of those released in Greece in December 2016. |
| 94 | [[/folder]] |
| 95 | |
| 96 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 97 | * ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' has 16 different film adaptations, including two by [[WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland Disney]], a DarkerAndEdgier [[VideoGame/AmericanMcGeesAlice video game]], a [[Series/Alice2009 TV miniseries]], an anime remembered in many places that aren't the States, a re-imagining book series, Sci Fi, [[DerivativeWorks/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland etc...]] |
| 98 | * ''Literature/AndThenThereWereNone'' by Creator/AgathaChristie has had multiple film adaptations. The novel's plot has even [[TenLittleMurderVictims become a trope in its own right]]. |
| 99 | * ''[[Theatre/TheKingAndI Anna And The King Of Siam]]'' has given us one Broadway musical, four movies (two of which are based on the musical), and a short-lived sitcom. |
| 100 | * Every decade or two, Creator/TheBBC goes on a Creator/JaneAusten kick and remakes most of her most famous works (usually ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice'', ''Literature/SenseAndSensibility'', ''{{Literature/Persuasion}}'', and ''{{Literature/Emma}}'') as miniseries. Each of those four novels has three or four BBC adaptations as well as several movie adaptations. Her works also frequently receive the SettingUpdate treatment (''Literature/BridgetJones'' books and movies, ''Film/{{Clueless}}'' or ''WebVideo/TheLizzieBennetDiaries''). |
| 101 | * ''Literature/TheBabySittersClub'' books have had 2 different TV series, 4 CD-ROM computer games, graphic novel adaptations, as well as a movie. |
| 102 | * The baseball series ''Literature/{{Battery}}'' has had an audio drama in 2000, a manga in 2004, a live-action film, a live-action series, and an anime. |
| 103 | * ''Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'' was published in 1964, and by its 50th anniversary in 2014 had already yielded [[Literature/CharlieAndTheGreatGlassElevator one sequel]], several audiobook versions and a pop-up book abridgement, and the following adaptations, all of which are distinct takes on the story: |
| 104 | ** Two movie versions ([[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory 1971]] and [[Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory 2005]]) |
| 105 | ** A stage play in The70s |
| 106 | ** A touring stage musical in The80s |
| 107 | ** A Platform/ZXSpectrum video game |
| 108 | ** A BBC radio play |
| 109 | ** A ride at England's Alton Towers |
| 110 | ** [[Theatre/TheGoldenTicket An opera]] |
| 111 | ** An island in the online game ''VideoGame/{{Poptropica}}'' |
| 112 | ** A 2013 [[Theatre/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory West End stage musical]] (which includes {{Internal Homage}}s to and one song from the film adaptations but is '''not''' a ScreenToStageAdaptation at all) |
| 113 | ** The two film adaptations have each been incorporated into other media: The 1971 film was greenlit to launch a still-extant [[{{Defictionalization}} defictionalized]] candy brand, its songs appeared in a 2005 stage musical (''Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka'') that otherwise stuck closer to the novel, and in 2013 it was the basis for licensed casino slot machines. The 2005 film was the basis for several tie-in video games. There is also a 2023 musical [[OriginsEpisode origin movie]], titled ''Film/{{Wonka}}''. |
| 114 | * ''Literature/AChristmasCarol'': Has been made into no less than 40 films, including animated versions, made-for-tv movies, musicals, silent films, and a [[Series/TheMuppetShow Muppet]] [[Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol version]]. There are also many stage adaptations, and at least one ballet version! And that's not even getting into the YetAnotherChristmasCarol trope. Best exemplified by ''WebVideo/TwelveHundredGhosts'', which is 400 adaptations of the work in one video and ''[[DerivativeWorks/AChristmasCarol still]]'' isn't all of them. |
| 115 | * ''Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo'' has also had a [[DerivativeWorks/TheCountOfMonteCristo ton of adaptations]]. [[Film/TheCountOfMonteCristo2002 The film]] with Creator/JimCaviezel is only one of many. |
| 116 | * The ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'' has been adapted hundreds of times (although most of the adaptations focus on the ''Inferno''), including at least twenty-four films, four operas, video games for the Platform/Commodore64 and Platform/Xbox360, and a few comic book issues during certain runs of the ''ComicBook/DisneyMouseAndDuckComics'' and the ''ComicBook/XMen''. |
| 117 | * ''Literature/{{Dracula}}'': The fact he has his [[{{Dracula}} own page]] on [[Website/TVTropes this very website]] should be proof enough of how often he tends to appear in media of every shape and form. Most tend to adapt more from [[Film/Dracula1931 the famous 1931 Universal film]] than the original novel by Creator/BramStoker. See [[DerivativeWorks/{{Dracula}} here]] for a list of adaptations and derivative works. |
| 118 | * ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}'' by Creator/MaryShelley has spawned [[Franchise/{{Frankenstein}} many adaptations]]. UsefulNotes/ThomasEdison produced the [[Film/Frankenstein1910 first movie]] in 1910! Plus many SpiritualSuccessor stories using its ArtificialHuman plot. |
| 119 | * ''Literature/FreakyFriday'' became [[Film/FreakyFriday1976 a Disney movie]] in 1976. Then, from The90s until at least TheNew10s, Creator/{{Disney}} produced at ''least'' one new version of the story per decade, for either TV, the big screen, or the stage. |
| 120 | * ''Literature/TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughTime'' one novel that received: three television series, four live-action films, one animated film, and two manga adaptations. |
| 121 | * ''Literature/{{Heidi}}'' has received many film adaptations, as well as an [[Anime/HeidiGirlOfTheAlps anime series]]. |
| 122 | * ''Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' was originally a [[Radio/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1978 6-expanded-to-12-episode radio comedy]], then a series of [[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxyTrilogy novels]] based on it, an [[VideoGame/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1984 adventure game]], a [[Series/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1981 TV series]], a sequel radio comedy series, and [[Film/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy2005 a movie]]. Each one of them considerably different from the others. Unusually, this was intentional on the part of Creator/DouglasAdams (who was the primary or sole writer of the radio, TV and novel versions). |
| 123 | * ''Literature/IAmLegend'' has had three movies since it was written in the 1950s, and all of them take the plot and characters in different directions. |
| 124 | * ''Ikebukuro West Gate Park'' has the original novel series, the live-action series from 2000, ''three'' different manga adaptations, and an anime from 2020. |
| 125 | * All ''Literature/JamesBond'' books and almost all short stories had film adaptations (three times in the cases of ''Literature/CasinoRoyale'' --including TV-- and two times for ''Literature/{{Thunderball}}''), and many were also translated into comics, radio plays, and the occasional video game - though in most places, [[AdaptationDisplacement the film series is the one serving as inspiration]]. |
| 126 | * ''Literature/JaneEyre'' by Creator/CharlotteBronte gets adapted in film or miniseries or on stage a lot, and not only in English-speaking countries. Check the work's [[Film/JaneEyre film page]]. |
| 127 | * ''Literature/TheJungleBook'' has had so [[DerivativeWorks/TheJungleBook many film and TV adaptations]], both live-action and animated, that Creator/RudyardKipling's version is probably the ''least'' well-known. |
| 128 | * ''Literature/LastOfTheMohicans'' by James Fenimore Cooper, in addition to being part of a 5-book series, has itself been adapted to film at least five times, with the last (most famous) one being a remake of a previous screenplay; a graphic adaptation by Marvel, and inspired a series of classical oil paintings when it first came out in 1827, along with having some local landmarks named after the characters. |
| 129 | * ''Literature/LesMiserables'' has over 60 adaptations for radio, anime, theatre, TV, film (the latest being a big-screen adaptation of the stage musical) and at least one fighting game. [[http://tig.wikia.com/wiki/Arm_Joe Yep.]] |
| 130 | * ''Literature/LittleWomen'' has been made into several stage plays, movies (see 1933 film [[Film/LittleWomen1933 here]]), TV miniseries, anime, an opera and a Broadway musical. |
| 131 | * ''[[Literature/TheBountyTrilogy Mutiny on the Bounty]]'': At least three film versions, a few novels, probably a play or two. |
| 132 | * ''Noddy'' has had 8 TV series (including [[Series/TheNoddyShop one that reused segments]] [[WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures from another incarnation]]), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnRMDFeKFIE an animated short]], a theatrical film and multiple stage productions. |
| 133 | * ''Literature/OliverTwist'' has over a dozen cinematic adaptations, multiple tv adaptations, the musical theater adaptation ''{{Theatre/Oliver}}''; which was subsequently adapted into the successful 1968 film of the same name. Adaptations range from faithful retellings of the source material to [[SettingUpdate contemporary setting updates]] such as Disney's ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany''. ''Oliver Twist'' remains one of Creator/CharlesDickens' most recognized and adapted works, beaten in volume of adaptations only by ''Literature/AChristmasCarol''. |
| 134 | * ''Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' [[OlderThanTheyThink began as a novel by Gaston Leroux]]. Has since been adapted into goodness knows how many movies, at least six stage musicals (seven if you count ''Theatre/LoveNeverDies'', which is a sequel to [[Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera the most famous musical version]]), quite a few additional novels and numerous spoofs/reworkings on TV. Plus songs about it by Music/IronMaiden and Music/IcedEarth. |
| 135 | * Literature/SherlockHolmes's EvilCounterpart ''Literature/{{Raffles}}'', while nowhere near as popular as the consulting detective, has been the subject of several unrelated films, a 14-episode television series, various radio and theater plays, as well as a bunch of pastiches, including ''Literature/TheHoundOfTheDurbervilles'', ''ComicBook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'', and ''Literature/AnnoDracula''. |
| 136 | * ''Literature/TheRing'' has been made into a film four times - twice in Japan (once as a semi-pornographic TV movie!), once in Korea (as ''The Ring Virus''), and once in America. There have also been two Japanese TV series, three Japanese sequels, and one American sequel (directed, oddly enough, by the same guy that directed the original Japanese film). It was also adapted into a manga. |
| 137 | * ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' definitely deserves to be mentioned separately, having been played by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptations_of_Sherlock_Holmes over 75 different actors in 211 films]]. Plus the book adaptions and {{Pastiche}}s... and the TV shows... and the occasional graphic novel.... |
| 138 | * ''Literature/StarshipTroopers'' has spawned a [[Anime/StarshipTroopers 1988 anime miniseries]], three strategy tabletop games, a [[Film/StarshipTroopers 1997 live-action film with two sequels]], a [[WesternAnimation/RoughnecksStarshipTroopersChronicles CGI television series]], a [[Film/StarshipTroopersInvasion CGI film]], a [[VideoGame/StarshipTroopers video game]], and a live-action Hollywood reboot on the way. |
| 139 | * Similarly, ''Franchise/{{Tarzan}}'' has had so many movies, TV shows (both animated and live-action) and graphic novels based on it that the original books by Creator/EdgarRiceBurroughs are obscure by comparison. |
| 140 | * ''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers'' by Creator/AlexandreDumas. A quick search on Website/IMDb returned over 50 results on film alone. And one the book's second sequel, ''The Vicomte de Bragelonne'', has been adapted to film many times as well, mostly using ManInTheIronMask or "The Iron Mask" in the title. [[DerivativeWorks/DArtagnanRomances This page]] has a list of various adaptations of those books. On a side note, this is mitigated for France on the big screen as there has been no French-produced version between the [[Film/TheThreeMusketeers1961 1961]] and [[Film/TheThreeMusketeers2023 2023]] ones (there's been plenty on French TV, however, and original theatrical films taking cues from the sequels as well, such as ''Film/RevengeOfTheMusketeers''). |
| 141 | * ''Literature/TolkiensLegendarium'' has been made into [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings two three-part]] [[Film/TheHobbit film series]], [[WesternAnimation/TheLordOfTheRings several full-length animated films]], [[Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower a Tv show based on the Second Age]], several radio plays, and [[VideoGame/TheBattleForMiddleEarth many video games]] and [[TabletopGame.TolkiensLegendarium tabletop games]]. |
| 142 | * ''Literature/TreasureIsland'' has many film adaptations, including an {{Anime}}, a [[Film/MuppetTreasureIsland Muppet version]] and a couple of versions [[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace set in space]]. There are also a number of television series, as well as theater, radio, video games and music. |
| 143 | * [[Literature/Twilight2005 The first]] ''[[Literature/Twilight2005 Twilight]]'' [[Literature/Twilight2005 novel]] has had several adaptations and retellings (including some [[SelfPlagiarism written by]] Creator/StephenieMeyer [[SelfPlagiarism herself]]). ''Twilight'' was adapted into a film in 2008 and then into a two-part graphic novel in 2010 and 2011. Meyer began work on ''Literature/{{Midnight Sun|2020}}'', a retelling of the first book [[PerspectiveFlip from Edward's perspective]], which was eventually published in 2020; prior to that she wrote and published ''Literature/LifeAndDeathTwilightReimagined'', which is a [[RuleSixtyThree gender-flipped]] retelling of the first book, in 2015. Then there's the unofficial adaptations: ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' started out as a ''Twilight'' [[AlternateUniverseFic fanfiction]] before being published as [[SerialNumbersFiledOff an original work]] in 2011 (those familiar with both stories will be able to see the remaining similarities) and it got both a [[Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey film adaptation]] and a retelling from another character's POV in 2015. |
| 144 | * There have been several adaptations of most of Creator/HGWells' books, especially ''Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds'' and ''Literature/TheTimeMachine''. The former is especially prone to getting a SettingUpdate about once a generation. |
| 145 | * ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'' has [[Literature/LandOfOz 39 books]], a [[Film/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz1910 series of silent short films]], the [[Film/TheWizardOfOz classic musical adaptation]] which itself has [[Film/ReturnToOz a sequel]], [[Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful a prequel]] and an Creator/AndrewLloydWebber-helmed stage version, a [[Series/TheMuppetShow Muppet]] version, an [[Anime/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz anime series]], an [[Anime/TheWizardOfOz anime film]], stage plays including [[Theatre/TheWiz a pop music-driven reimagining with an all-black cast]] which itself got [[Film/TheWiz a film adaptation]] helmed by [[Creator/SidneyLumet the unlikeliest of directors]], [[Series/TinMan a modernized TV series]], an [[Literature/TheWickedYears alternate interpretation of Oz and the villain]] (which in itself has [[Theatre/{{Wicked}} a musical]] and an upcoming film), cartoons, and [[Literature/TalesOfTheMagicLand a Russian translation that diverges considerably as it goes on]]. Since the first several books are in the public domain, there are also hoards of derivative works (such as the prior mentioned ''Wicked'', ''Literature/{{Was}}'', ''Literature/DorothyMustDie'', and several unofficial sequels) have been released as well. |
| 146 | * ''Literature/{{Zorro}}'' has been [[DerivativeWorks/{{Zorro}} adapted many times]]. |
| 147 | [[/folder]] |
| 148 | |
| 149 | [[folder:Mythology & Religion]] |
| 150 | * Myth/ArthurianLegend. Every few generations needs a new adaptation of the old stories, starting with ''Literature/LeMorteDarthur'' by Malory and moving on to [[Literature/IdyllsOfTheKing Tennyson]], [[Literature/TheOnceAndFutureKing T. H. White]], [[Literature/KnightLife Peter David]]... |
| 151 | * Literature/TheBible has been [[DerivativeWorks/TheBible adapted hundreds of times]], covering every medium there is, which can be expected, since it's a sacred text for three of the world's largest religions.[[note]]UsefulNotes/{{Judaism}} doesn't believe in the UsefulNotes/{{Christian|ity}} New Testament, and UsefulNotes/{{Islam}} puts it second behind Literature/TheQuran, but let's not split hairs.[[/note]] Among the most commonly adapted Bible stories: |
| 152 | ** The Noah's ark story from the Literature/BookOfGenesis. |
| 153 | ** The first 20 chapters of the Literature/BookOfExodus, (most people skip the incredibly painstakingly detailed instructions for building the tabernacle in the second half of the book) especially the liberation of the Jews by God through Moses the Prophet. |
| 154 | ** The story of Literature/SamsonAndDelilah from the Literature/BookOfJudges. |
| 155 | ** The accounts of UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}}'s life, death, and Resurrection from Literature/TheFourGospels. |
| 156 | * Many stories from Myth/ClassicalMythology are a popular choice for all kinds of adaptions, be it the ''Literature/TheIliad'' and ''Literature/TheOdyssey'', the adventures of Herakles, the journey of Jason and the Argonauts, the quest of Perseus... |
| 157 | * [[Literature/TheBalladOfMulan The legend of Mulan]] might be best known to contemporary audiences through Creator/{{Disney}}'s two [[WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} film]] [[Film/Mulan2020 adaptations]], but it has also been adapted to the stage (including a 2013 dance version called ''The Legend of Marissa Inouye''), in [[DerivativeWorks/{{Mulan}} novels, several Chinese-produced films, and on television]]. |
| 158 | * Myth/RobinHood also has a ridiculous amount of adaptations, including TV shows, movies, books, video games, and that's not even getting into "[[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace Modern Robin Hood]]" territory. |
| 159 | [[/folder]] |
| 160 | |
| 161 | [[folder:Theatre]] |
| 162 | * ''Theatre/{{Carmen}}'' is known for its frequent adaptations. Although most of them are derived from one particular adaptation, Bizet's opera, with the original novella falling victim to {{Adaptation Displacement}}. |
| 163 | * ''Theatre/{{Chess}}'' started out as a ConceptAlbum in 1984. It was adapted into a stage musical for the first time in 1986, but a mixture of ExecutiveMeddling and attempts to cope with the end of the UsefulNotes/ColdWar meant that for some time, every time the show popped up in a new location it was practically a new musical, [[AdaptationDecay sometimes venturing pretty far from the album's storyline]]. Even a couple decades later [[BrokenBase there's no consensus on which staged version did it right]] if any did at all, so new variations of the story continue to pop up. |
| 164 | * ''Theatre/TheOddCouple'' originated as a stage play that debuted in 1965 and has been adapted into [[Film/TheOddCouple1968 a film that got released in 1968]], [[Series/TheOddCouple1970 a well-known 1970-75 TV series]], [[WesternAnimation/TheOddballCouple a 1975-76/77 animated series adaptation]], [[Series/TheNewOddCouple a 1982-83 reboot TV series with black leads]], along the way a rewrite of the original play for female leads that debuted in 1984, a 1993 TV movie followup to the '70s series, [[Film/TheOddCoupleII a 1998 theatrical sequel to the 1968 film]], a 2002 rewrite of the original male version, and [[Series/TheOddCouple2015 a 2015-17 reboot series]]. There's also been a lot of merchandise for mostly the 1970s series, including a mid-1970s comic book adaptation that Neil Simon told Paramount to halt after its first issue, as he'd only signed away the rights to adapt the original male play into movies and TV series. This is only a list of all the official, recorded adaptations originally in English. This entry doesn't even ''start'' getting into all the foreign adaptations, parodies, spiritual adaptations/sucessors, and usage of the basic character archetypes and plotline within other works. Neil Simon spawned a fucking ''genre''. Now that he has died and is no longer around to tell Paramount not to step outside the formal bounds of his 1963/64 sale of the IP's adaptation rights to them, who ''knows'' how many more adaptations it can spawn and how much merchandise is yet to come? |
| 165 | * ''L'Olimpiade'' (''The Olympiad'') was originally an opera by Music/AntonioCaldara with a libretto by Creator/PietroMetastasio. Metastasio's libretto, based on Herodotus' ''Literature/TheHistories'', was extremely popular, and many composers decided to use it with their own music, abandoning Caldera's version. There are now over sixty different versions, each with their own production history. The composers who did this include Music/AntonioVivaldi, Music/GiovanniBattistaPergolesi, Music/ThomasArne, Music/JosefMyslivecek and a version by Music/GaetanoDonizetti that was left incomplete. |
| 166 | * Stage versions of Creator/WilliamShakespeare's plays don't count as adaptations, but the many straight up stage-to-screen adaptions, and the inspiration for new scripts, easily number into the hundreds. The BBC appears to feel a need to produce a definitive TV version of the complete Shakespeare folio, approximately once every fifteen years or so. |
| 167 | [[/folder]] |
| 168 | |
| 169 | [[folder:Toys]] |
| 170 | * Likewise, sister franchise ''Franchise/{{GI Joe}}'' (both are by Hasbro, and earn the occasional CrossOver). Ever since the second generation in 1982, ''G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero'', was accompanied by a comic book and an animated series, the franchise has since earned plenty of other comics and cartoons, [[Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra two]] [[Film/GIJoeRetaliation movies]], and the occasional game. |
| 171 | * ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' has to take some kind of a record. It has -- let's see now -- several lines of toys, the original American cartoon ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'', several successive anime that continued from where the American one left off (''Anime/TransformersHeadmasters'', ''Anime/TransformersSuperGodMasterforce'', ''Anime/TransformersVictory'', ''Manga/TransformersZone''), five or six different comic book series (''ComicBook/TheTransformersAllHailMegatron'', ''ComicBook/TheTransformersIDW''), spanning all the different TV show and toy eras (''ComicBook/TransformersGenerationOne'', ''ComicBook/TheTransformersLastStandOfTheWreckers''), American and British (''ComicBook/TheTransformersMarvel''), ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'', the Japanese spinoffs (''Anime/BeastWarsII'', ''Anime/BeastWarsNeo''), ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'', [[Anime/UnicronTrilogy several more Transformers anime]] set in {{Alternate Universe}}s that were dubbed for American consumption after Hasbro succumbed to fan backlash over ''Beast Machines'' (they originally intended a sequel to that named ''ComicBook/TransformersTransTech''), [[Film/TransformersFilmSeries the live-action films]] which occupy their own AU and possess their own novel and comic adaptations, [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated two more]] [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime American cartoons]] which are also their own universes, and a Japanese toy and manga series called ''Kiss Players'' which involved InterspeciesRomance on the Autobot side and ''vorarephilia'' on the Decepticon side.\ |
| 172 | In short: Look at [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Series this full listing of everything]] and try to not go too cross-eyed. And that's not even counting the ''{{Diaclone}}'' and ''MicroMan'' Japanese lines whose overstocks and remainders were sold to Hasbro to become the original Transformers toys. |
| 173 | [[/folder]] |
| 174 | |
| 175 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 176 | * The first ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI'' got countless ports and remakes, was novelized in ''Final Fantasy I * II * III: Memories of Heroes'' and got two separate games reimagining its plot: ''VideoGame/MobiusFinalFantasy'' and ''VideoGame/StrangerOfParadiseFinalFantasyOrigin''. |
| 177 | * The ''VideoGame/{{Lunar}}'' series keeps making new versions of the same games. The first game in the series was first released on Sega CD and later reworked for the Saturn and Platform/PlayStation, followed by a GBA remake, followed by a [=PSP=] remake. The [=PlayStation=] version is generally best-known (and pretty {{troperiffic}} compared to the Sega CD original). Plus, most of the other games in the series have their own remakes, except just one a piece instead of three. And that's without getting into the novelizations, manga and audio dramas. |
| 178 | * ''VideoGame/MediEvil'' (1998) was remade as ''VideoGame/MediEvilResurrection'' (which was halfway between a remake and a ReformulatedGame) in 2005 and then remade again faithfully in 2019 for the Platform/PlayStation4. Plus the various re-releases and ports. Meanwhile, the actual sequel ''[=MediEvil=] II'' is almost forgotten and the planned third game remained vaporware. |
| 179 | * ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': There's the original games, the spinoff titles (which itself has a load of diverse examples, ranging from [[VideoGame/PokemonSnap rail shooter where you take photographs]] to a [[VideoGame/DetectivePikachu a visual novel that stars a talking Pikachu]]), the [[VideoGameRemake remakes]] of the older games (which both [[AdaptationExpansion expand upon]] the originals and [[CanonDiscontinuity retcon certain aspects of them]]), the [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries anime]], [[Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu a movie inspired by that visual novel]], a collectible card game, at least three manga adaptations of the anime and several movie-specific ones, various adaptations of the games, over 40+ other manga which seem to do their own thing separate of other continuities. And that's just the beginning. |
| 180 | * ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' has an [[Anime/SonicX anime]], [[ComicBook/SonicX an adaptation of that anime]], an [[Anime/SonicTheHedgehogTheMovie OVA]], [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM two American animated series]] [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog that were launched simultaneously]], a [[WesternAnimation/SonicUnderground later American animated series]], [[WesternAnimation/SonicBoom another American animated series over a decade after those three]], a [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 theatrical movie]], a [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics U.S. comic series]], [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW a later U.S. comic series]], a [[ComicBook/SonicTheComic UK comic]], several {{manga}}, and numerous '90s book adaptations not based off any comic. And we haven't even mentioned the spinoff games. |
| 181 | * ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros''. Less so now, but as well as the games there are the spinoff games in about ten series, three cartoon shows, about four anime films, the live action film, an animated film produced partially in America, various manga series, three series of American comic books, German comics in Club Nintendo, the Ice Capades, books, and random series that have very little to do with anything (''Mario All Stars'' cartoon series consisting of recycled stuff from the first three, King Koopa's Kool Kartoons). |
| 182 | [[/folder]] |
| 183 | |
| 184 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 185 | * The WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts started with simple animated shorts and with inspire [[ComicBook/DisneyMouseAndDuckComics comic books]], animated shows, feature films, and theme parks. |
| 186 | * The Franchise/LooneyTunes started with animation shorts, and would later inspire comic books, TV cartoons, the occasional feature film (including [[Film/SpaceJam live]] [[Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction action]] [[Film/SpaceJamANewLegacy hybrids]] in case of the Tunes), theme park rides, video games and all sorts of merchandise. |
| 187 | * ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' spawned numerous {{animated series}}, including a SpinoffBabies series, as well as many animated movies (''Reluctant Werewolf'' and ''The Ghoul School''), several live action movies, more animated movies (''Zombie Island'', ''The Alien Invaders'', etc.), another animated series with a modern update, and many more animated movies based off of that series. The latest, ''WesternAnimation/{{Scoob}}'', is even intended to launch a SharedUniverse with Creator/HannaBarbera properties. |
