I am finding the source of this confusing. It is a story (novel?) by two authors that turned it into a movie screenplay, then that screenplay was turned into a novel? What happened to the original story?

Possibly similar to
2001: A Space Odyssey. The original was a 1948 short story was
The Sentinel (also
Sentinel of Eternity), the screenplay was written by Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke and the novel is credited to Arthur C. Clarke though Stanley Kubrick is stated to have had quite a bit of input.
