Cycles, sequels, spin-offs, remakes, and reboots : multiplicities in film and television / edited by Amanda Ann Klein and R. Barton Palmer Austin, TX: University of Texas Press, 2016.
Call No: 753.81 CYCAuthor: Klein, Amanda Ann (ed.) ; Palmer, R. Barton (ed.) Edition: First editionSource: USPlace: Austin, TXPublisher: University of Texas PressPubDate: 2016PhysDes: vi, 357 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cmSubject: FILM ; CRITICISM ; REMAKES ; SEQUELS Summary: "With sequels, prequels, remakes, spin-offs, or copies of successful films or franchises dominating film and television production, it sometimes seems as if Hollywood is incapable of making an original film or TV show. These textual pluralities or multiplicities—while loved by fans who flock to them in droves—tend to be dismissed by critics and scholars as markers of the death of high culture. Cycles, Sequels, Spin-offs, Remakes, and Reboots takes the opposite view, surveying a wide range of international media multiplicities for the first time to elucidate their importance for audiences, industrial practices, and popular culture.
The essays in this volume offer a broad picture of the ways in which cinema and television have used multiplicities to streamline the production process, and to capitalize on and exploit viewer interest in previously successful and/or sensational story properties. An impressive lineup of established and emerging scholars talk seriously about forms of multiplicity that are rarely discussed as such, including direct-to-DVD films made in Nigeria, cross-cultural Japanese horror remakes, YouTube fan-generated trailer mash-ups, and 1970s animal revenge films. They show how considering the particular bonds that tie texts to one another allows us to understand more about the audiences for these texts and why they crave a version of the same story (or character or subject) over and over again. These findings demonstrate that, far from being lowbrow art, multiplicities are actually doing important cultural work that is very worthy of serious study." -- BOOK BACK COVER BLURBNotes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references and index; Also published electronicallyISBN: 9781477308172Donation: Senses of cinemaContents: -- ch. 1 Introduction / Amanda Ann Klein and R.

Film remakes / Constantine Verevis Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2006.
Call No: 753.81 VERAuthor: Verevis, Constantine Source: UKPlace: EdinburghPublisher: Edinburgh University PressPubDate: 2006PhysDes: 198 p. ; 24 cmSubject: REMAKES ; HOLLYWOOD Summary: This is the first book to provide a comprehensive and systematic account of the phenomenon of cinematic remaking, Drawing upon recent theories of genre and intertextuality, Film Remakes describes remaking as both an elastic concept and a complex situation, one enabled and limited by the interrelated roles and practices of industry, critics and audiences. This approach to remaking is developed across three broad sections: the first, remaking as industrial category, deals with issues of production, including commerce and authors; the second, remaking as textual category, investigates issues of reception, including audiences and institutions. The film remake emerges as a particular case of repetition, a function of cinematic and discursive fields that is maintained by historically specific practices, such as copyright law and authorship, canon formation and media literacy, film criticism and re-viewing. These points are made through the lively discussion of numerous historical and contemporary examples, including the remaking of classics (Double Indemnity, All That Heaven Allows, Psycho), foreign art-films (Yojimbo, Solaris, Le Samourai), cult movies (Gun Crazy, Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Dead), and television properties (Batman, The Addams Family, Charlie’s Angels).

Drawing on a wide variety of Hollywood and other examples, this impressive group of contributors considers a wide range of film adaptations, remakes and fan productions from various industrial, textual and critical perspectives. Their case studies discuss new versions of popular texts such as The Manchurian Candidate, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Stepford Wives. They provide new perspectives on the unlimited cultural production of classics like The Wizard of Oz, Wuthering Heights and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and they analyze the groundbreaking work of fan appropriations, including Batman and Spiderman fanvids, and fanfic trailer revisions for The Shining and television's The Adventures of Merlin." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and index; Tertiary/Undergraduate, PostgraduateISBN: 9781137263346Contents: -- list of illustrations -- acknowledgments -- notes on contributors -- introduction: remake,remodel / Kathleen Loock and Constantine Verevis -- pt.

Ken Gelder's fascinating study begins by looking at Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula and Fran Rubel Kuzui's Buffy the Vampire Slayer - films that seemed for a moment to take vampire cinema in completely opposite directions. New Vampire Cinema then examines what happened afterwards, across a remarkable range of reiterations of the vampire that take it far beyond its original Transylvanian setting: the suburbs of Sweden (Let the Right One In), the forests of North America (the Twilight films), New York City (Nadja, The Addiction), Mexico (Cronos, From Dusk Till Dawn), Japan (Blood: The Last Vampire, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust), South Korea (Thirst), New Zealand (Perfect Creature), Australia (Daybreakers), and elsewhere. In a series of exhilarating readings, Gelder determines what is at stake when the cinematic vampire and the modern world are made to encounter one another - where the new, the remake and the sequel find the vampire struggling to survive the past, the present and, in some cases, the distant future." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781844574407

CHINA ; REMAKES ; HOLLYWOOD Summary: "The dramatic surge of Chinese visibility in Hollywood has been spurred by Sino-chic talents such as directors Ang Lee, John Woo, Wong Kar-wai, Wayne Wang, and Zhang Yimou, and stars such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, and Michelle Yeoh. Analyzing well-known films by Chinese stars and crew, and the influence they have had on Hollywood directors, Kenneth Chan describes how post-1997 notions of Chinese identity and cultural genres have been reinvented and repackaged by major US studios. Highlighting numerous contradictions and cultural anxieties evident in transnational Hollywood films, Chan suggests that many Chinese stars and directors have made painful compromises to get their films successfully launched into the global capitalist stream of cultural commodities. -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references, filmography and indexISBN: 9789622090569Contents: -- acknowledgments -- Introduction : remaking Chinese cinemas, Hollywood style -- Visualizing Hong Kong : Hollywood's 1997 response to the Hong Kong handover -- The global return of the Wuxia pian (Chinese sword-fighting movie) -- Enter the triads : American cinema's new racialized criminal other -- Hollywood's Sino-chic : Kung fu parody, mimicry, and play in cross-cultural citationality -- Chinese supernaturalism : mythic ethnography and the mystical other -- Coda : global cinematic technologies of ethnic (un)representation -- coda: global cinematic technologies of ethnic (un)representation -- notes -- filmography -- bibliography -- index --

AUSTRALIA ; FORMATS ; GRUNDY, REG Summary: "Since the late 1990s, when broadcasters began adapting such television shows as Big Brother, Survivor, and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? for markets around the world, the global television industry has been struggling to come to grips with the prevalence of program franchising across international borders. In TV Format Mogul, Albert Moran traces the history of this phenomenon through the lens of Australian producer Reg Grundy's transnational career. Beginning in the late 1950s, Grundy brought non-Australian shows to Australian audiences, becoming the first person to take local productions to an overseas market. By following Grundy's career, Moran shows how adaptation and remaking became the billion-dollar business it is today" -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781841506234Donation: Donated by Senses of Cinema, 2013Contents: -- foreword by Toby Miller -- preface -- acknowledgments -- abbreviations -- 1.
