There are plenty of spin offs and tie ins but not adaptations (save for Lego) for some reason. Obviously this isn't the case for the reverse.

Movie and TV shows take time too, and adaptations have been coming out much later than the game did.

I'd kind of expected the play it safe management to start adapting decades old classic movies n stuff

Movies are a complete mess, though. They are frequently recut into something almost entirely different last minute. Can't do thst as easily with videogames.
