Remake

In 1998, Gus Van Sant produced an almost shot-for-shot remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film Psycho.

[7] For example, the 1968 film The Thomas Crown Affair is centered on a bank robbery, while its 1999 remake involves the theft of a valuable painting.

This is particularly true for films that are remade from films produced in another language such as Point of No Return (from the French La Femme Nikita), Vanilla Sky (from the Spanish Abre los ojos), The Magnificent Seven (from the Japanese Seven Samurai), A Fistful of Dollars (from the Japanese Yojimbo), The Departed (from Hong Kong's Infernal Affairs), Secret in Their Eyes (from the Argentine El secreto de sus ojos), Let Me In (from the Swedish Let the Right One In or Låt den rätte komma in), and The Ring (from the Japanese Ring).

The 2013 remake of Evil Dead was also a storyline sequel, featuring a post-credits cameo from Ash Williams.

Examples include Battlestar Galactica (2003), He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002), Nikita (2010), V (2009), Hawaii Five-0 (2010), and Charlie's Angels (2011).

[13] The American television show The Killing is an investigative crime drama based on the Danish series Forbrydelsen.

Typically, a remake of such game software shares its title, fundamental gameplay concepts, and core story elements with the original.

This can even be seen as early as 2004 with the release of Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes as that title features newer gameplay additions and voice acting.
