Have you ever read a novelization of a movie? (Or, worse, take Great Expectations. The movie was a bad enough adaptation of the original book; then they novelized the movie. You read that right. They didn't republish Dickens's book. Someone wrote a new book based on the movie. Ugh.)
That happens quite a lot. Ian Fleming's original James Bond books are harder to find than the novelizations of the films, and Fleming's books often have little in common with the films besides Bond and the titles.

Cap'n Q
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
