| The phrase '''re-imagined''' is a buzzword used to describe a film or TV show that bases its storyline, characterizations and motivations from an prior work, but may drastically change the overall storyline, characters, situations and locales to the point where it is neither a [[spin-off]] or [[continuation]] of the original work. Essentially, a re-imagined show is a relaunch of a story concept that usually takes only the essence of the original work.

| The new ''[[Re-imagined Series|Battlestar Galactica]]'' series uses the essence of the characters and storyline from the 1978 [[Original Series|series of the same name]], but makes significant changes to central characters and has a darker theme.

| Re-imagined shows may revise story arcs from its original parent. The battlestar ''[[Pegasus (TOS)|Pegasus]]'' from the Original Series makes its way into the Re-imagined Series as a [[Pegasus (RDM)|more advanced ship]], complete with a commanding officer named [[Helena Cain]], mirroring [[Lloyd Bridges]]' [[Cain (TOS)|character]].

| Re-imagined television and motion picture projects are frequently met with criticism by fans of the original work, who may feel that the re-imagined work will taint the original or eclipse it completely.

| Hollywood frequently re-imagines prior film storylines. These films, sometimes known as "remakes," usually, but not always, attempt to reintroduce younger audiences to older works. Recent examples include ''[[w:Poseidon (film)|Poseidon]]'', a remake of ''The Poseidon Adventure''. [[Bryan Singer]]'s ''[[w:Superman Returns|Superman Returns]]'', in contrast, is both a continuation and re-imagining as it bases its storyline from events from the popular ''Superman'' and ''Superman II'' movies, but dismisses all events from the lackluster ''Superman III'' and ''Superman IV'' films.
