Not only that the books has the Advantage of not having so many people who want their version of the story.

A book belongs only to the writer while a screenplay writer doesn't have much of a power on how a movie will be in the end.

I have read enough articles about writers turned screenplay writers who were told their work wouldn't work for so and so reason in a movie. When they become movies they usually dont look anything like the original story.

Although its a small point that no budget and special effects in the world can rival the imagination of a good author.
