Remakes

"A filmic remake is the reworking of one or more previous film (s) that incorporates key elements- such as story, events, character constellation, conflicts, themes- of the previous film(s) in a recognizable way but whose medium and discourse specific features, such as mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing, sound and narrative structure, etc., may deviate from to differing degrees from the previous film(s). The remake is informed by its cultural and historial context and enters into a dialogue with its forerunner(s)."
