Overview

Offering a variety of case studies in which films have been remade across national borders, Transnational Film Remakes provides an analysis of cinematic remaking that moves beyond Hollywood to address the truly global nature of this phenomenon. This book interrogates the fluid and dynamic ways in which texts are adapted and reworked across national borders to provide a distinctive new model for understanding these global cultural borrowings.

Reviews

Transnational Film Remakes not only succeeds in providing great explanations of complex issues, but, and probably more importantly, raises new thought-provoking questions. Therefore, it will be an interesting read for scholars working in transnational (remake) studies, or more broadly in adaptation studies, but equally for everyone interested in film studies and the recycling of cultural artefacts. -- Eduard Cuelenaere, Communications
