From 'Avatar' to danced versions of 'Romeo and Juliet', from Bollywood films to 'Star Wars Uncut': This book investigates film remakes as well as forms of remaking in other media, such as ballet and internet fan art. The case studies introduce readers to a variety of texts and remaking practices from different cultural spheres. The essays also discuss forms of remaking in relation to neighbouring phenomena like the sequel, prequel and (re-)adaptation. 'Remakes and Remaking' thus provides a necessary and topical addition to the recent conceptual scholarship on intermediality, transmediality and adaptation.
