Lost in Translation

Miami Vice isn't the TV series from the Eighties because it wasn’t made in the Eighties, it was made with the sensitivities of 2006.

Ultimately, the 2017 remake took its cues from the action parts of the 1999 remake.

The 1999 remake of The Mummy changed the tone of the story, going from the original’s gothic romance to an action-horror.

The Almighty Thor borrows from myth and legend in its own way, becoming less a product of the source and more its own movie.

Given that Star Wars pushed the limits on what can be done with special effects, the radio drama would have a steep task in front of it.

One of the main features of a superhero is the bright costume.

The series has the potential to be the definitive version of Supergirl, much like the Richard Donner Superman.

With Arrow, while Oliver isn’t the Emerald Archer seen in comics, he’s heading in that direction.

The end result, though, is that the movie Kingsman: The Secret Service is very much the comic, despite the differences.

The live action Josie and the Pussycats is an evolution for the characters.

Tabletop RPGs bring together a group on a regular basis to play, to socialize, and to relax.

Reboot: The Guardian Code as it appears in the trailer is what Lost In Translation is trying to highlight as something to avoid.

It’s in the how the change is done that will make the difference to an audience.

The Dresden Files TV series manages to get the tone right, but flubs the details.

Tails of Equestria took My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and presented the setting as a place for players to play in and have fun, much like the cartoon invites audiences to do.

Much like the original cartoon, The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle has elements in it for both children and adults.

The story itself would fit with the original TV series. International Rescue remained a rescue service, not a crime fighting unit.

The origin of the police procedural can be traced to one series, Dragnet.

If adaptations ruled the silver screen last year, they dominated this year.

Until audiences are tired of only adaptations, original works will have to find ways of getting into the popular subconscious in new ways.
