Definition[edit]
re-imagined -- a creative endeavor that is based off an idea or creation that has already been created, often looked upon as a buzzword or euphemism for remake.
A re-imagined product differs from plagarism or a remake (i.e. Charlie's Angels movies) due to:
- plagarism is an unauthorized endeavor, incurring a legal means of retribution;
- re-imagined products are authorized by the copyright holder, much like a 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...[edit]
... a re-imagined series is adequately described as taking an old product, in this instance 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[edit]
A prime example of a re-imagined product are the Battlestar Galactica mini-series, and its subsequent television series, under the production of Ronald D. Moore and David Eick.
