"The Man Who Could Work Miracles" (1898) and The Shape of Things to Come (1933) are (the only?) two Wells stories that he adapted for the screen. The two screen adaptations were first published in 1935 and 1936, and were published together in 1940: • Things to Come: A New Story Based on the Material Contained in His Book, The Shape of Things to Come • Man Who Could Work Miracles: A Film Story Based on the Material Contained in His Short Story • Two Film Stories: Things to Come / The Man Who Could Work Miracles (Two quoted descriptions are fashioned as subtitles here, and may be fashioned as subtitles in some publications reported by libraries.) First editions from Cresset Press were 142 and 96 pages; US editions from The Macmillan Company were 155 and 109 pages. The adaptations are treated as a novel and a short story at ISFDB, matching the original works.

Films were produced in 1936 and 1937. See the linked titles for more information.
