A remake tells the same story as the original but uses a different set of casts, and may use actors from the original, alter the theme, or change the flow and setting of the story, in addition since a remake is released some time after the original work it may incorporate new technologies, enhancements, and techniques that had not existed or was commonly used when the original work was created. Similar but not synonymous terms are reimagining or reboot, which indicates a greater discrepancy between, for example, a movie and the movie it is based on. Film A film remake uses an earlier movie as its main source material, rather than returning to the earlier movie's source material. The 2001 film ''Ocean's Eleven'' is a remake of 1960's ''Ocean's 11'', while 1989's ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
