True, there is a connection but after they take the story there's no obligation to stick directly to the book, only to make a great film.
Kubrick did what he wanted to do and came up with one of the best horror films ever made. Mick Garris did what Stephen King wanted to do(stay close to the book)and came up with a just ok film.
A director has to do his own thing with a story.
