I don't know if I'd call that parasitic, but most of the best adaptations I've seen are those in which the people involved had their own vision that goes a little further than the content of the book in question (plus pictures!).
I might as well ask:What's the point in that? Same goes for any adaptation of any kind, naturally.
I'm puzzled that some people prefer the made for TV adaptation of The Shining simply because it sticks closer to the source material. Yuck..
