   Of course, it's not just sci-fi franchises doing this either.   
      
   Batman has had the "Pennyworth" TV series based around Alfred, "The   
   Penguin" TV series, and the "Joker" movie. As well as "Gotham"   
   following a younger Jim Gordon.   
      
   Amazon pitched a tv series "007: Miss MoneyPenny", which the Broccoli   
   family said no to, but with Amazon now in full charge this show might   
   get made ... it'll be "really exciting stuff" to see her making the   
   tea, typing up the reports, transferring phonecalls, ...  :-\   
      
   The up-coming movie "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum".   
      
   The list of shows and movies jumping on this bandwagon is growing. Once   
   Hollyweird start on a fad, then keep doing it until they run it into   
   the ground. (Is anyone actually still watching "The Simpsons"? It was   
   past its use-by-date years ago, yet they keep stretching it out.) :-\
