Wong Kar-Wai's Ashes of Time (http://www.ejumpcut.org/archive/jc44.2001/payne%20for%20site/wongkarwei2.html) is inspired by a Jin Yong novel.

Jin Yong's real name is Louis Cha, and he's a publishing maganate in Hong Kong.

I'm just thinking of all the film adaptions I've loved, but loathed the original book, and vice versa...
