| ''Re-imagined'' is an adjective describing a creative endeavor that is based off a preexistent idea or creation, often looked upon as a [[Wikipedia:buzzword|buzzword]] or [[Wikipedia:euphemism|euphemism]] for [[Wikipedia:remake|remake]].
| |
| | |
| A ''re-imagined'' product differs from [[Wikipedia:plagarism|plagarism]] or a [[Wikipedia:remake|remake]] (e.g. [[Wikipedia:Charlie's Angels|Charlie's Angels movies]]) since:
| |
| | |
| # [[Wikipedia:plagarism|plagarism]] is an unauthorized endeavor subject to legal action; | |
| # ''re-imagined'' products are authorized by the [[Wikipedia:copyright|copyright]] holder, much like a [[Wikipedia:remake|remake]];
| |
| # [[Wikipedia:remake|remakes]] tend to just reuse the old plot elements and characters, possibly adding a few superficial changes.

| == In essence... ==
| |
| | |
| ... a ''re-imagined'' series is adequately described as taking an old product, e.g. the ''[[Battlestar Galactica (Classic)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' series of the late 1970's, and retelling the story in a new and hopefully exciting way. It uses many of the same methods as a remake, such as the re-use and possible modification of some or more of the following:
| |
| | |
| * selected plotlines;
| |
| * selected characters;
| |
| * selected adversaries;
| |
| * selected terminology and other items.
| |
| | |
| Using these selections, a creator, e.g. [[Ronald D. Moore]], then can craft a story different from the original, with a new direction and original characters that still share components from their previous counterparts.
| |
| | |
| == Examples of Re-Imagined Products ==
| |
| | |
| A prime example of a ''re-imagined'' product are the ''[[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' [[Miniseries]], and its subsequent television series, under the production of [[Ronald D. Moore]] and [[David Eick]].
