| ''re-imagined'' -- a creative endeavor that is based off an idea or creation that has already been created, 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]] (i.e. [[Wikipedia:Charlie's Angels|Charlie's Angels movies]]) due to:
| |
| | |
| # [[Wikipedia:plagarism|plagarism]] is an unauthorized endeavor, incurring a legal means of retribution;
| |
| # ''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, add a few superficial changes, in the hopes of making a profitable product;
| |
| | |
| == In essence... ==
| |
| | |
| ... a ''re-imagined'' series is adequately described as taking an old product, in this instance ''[[Battlestar Galactica (Classic)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' 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 (possibly) modification of some or more of the following:
| |
| | |
| * selected plotlines;
| |
| * selected characters;
| |
| * selected adversaries;
| |
| * selected terminologies and other items.
| |
| | |
| Using these selections, a creator ([[Ronald D. Moore]]) then can craft a story uniquely different from the original, with an new, original direction and original characters that share only basic components from their previous (older) counterparts.

| | |
| == Examples of Re-Imagined Products ==
| |
| | |
| A prime example of a ''re-imagined'' product are the ''[[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' mini-series, and its subsequent television series, under the production of [[Ronald D. Moore]] and [[David Eick]].
