In this day and age, it's common for movies to be created based on a number of things. TV shows, books, video games, etc...
Oft times, these adaptations stray from the source material. Sometimes, they do this out of necessity, and it works (Lord of the Rings, for instance.). Other times, however, it simply doesn't work out too well (Doom, based on the game of the same name.).
I don't really see film adaptations ending any time soon. The ideas are already there, and many people will go to see adaptations of other media regardless of if they are good or not. I think they can work out if the director is fan of the source material, but I believe that sometimes they are made simply to cash in on an existing fandom.
