I'm with metal head and arachwalker. Movie novelizations have been my bast@rd-child of a hobby since I was young - always hiding my secretive collection away from the eyes of the world for fear of ridicule. Sure they're not examples of high-brow literature, but I used to aspire to be a movie novelization writer. They were the "Extra Features" of my favorite movies back before the days of the DVD - since they were often based on early drafts of the scripts and included cut scenes or alternate endings (like Jean Grey actually SURVIVING X-Men 2).
Arachwalker - I KNOW there is no version of Blade 2. I emailed Mel Odom (author of Blade 1 novel) a few years ago and he told me that he had planned on writing the novel for it but the studio didn't approach him until a time too close to the film's release. He said it was bandied about for a while, but ultimately dropped. So nothing there.
As for the other titles you mentioned, I've searched for those as well without any luck.
I agree that the video games are relacing (or HAVE ALREADY replaced) the movie novel - and, in my later years, I find that disappointing. Those books are targeting young readers and true fans. What's wrong with giving young readers a book they are predisposed to enjoy... and subsequently igniting a desire to read more? Instead we give them video games... "Here, kids. Don't crack a book. Continue to sit on your arse even MORE than normal and play this video game that retails for 10 times what the novelizations used to go for."
But if anyone knows about the Thor, Green Lantern, X-Men:First Class or Capt. America books we'll (hopefully) be getting this year, please speak up.
