Lost in Translation

Lost in Translation 257: Miami Vice

Scott Delahunt
June 8, 2018
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.

Lost in Translation 256: The Mummy (2017)

Scott Delahunt
June 1, 2018
Lost in Translation
Ultimately, the 2017 remake took its cues from the action parts of the 1999 remake.

Lost in Translation 255: The Mummy (1999)

Scott Delahunt
May 18, 2018
Lost in Translation
The 1999 remake of The Mummy changed the tone of the story, going from the original’s gothic romance to an action-horror.

Lost in Translation 254: The Almighty Thor

Scott Delahunt
May 11, 2018
Lost in Translation
The Almighty Thor borrows from myth and legend in its own way, becoming less a product of the source and more its own movie.

Lost in Translation 253: Star Wars – The Original Radio Series

Scott Delahunt
May 4, 2018
Lost in Translation
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.

Lost in Translation 252: Comic Adaptations and Costumes

Scott Delahunt
April 27, 2018
Lost in Translation
One of the main features of a superhero is the bright costume.

Lost in Translation 251: Supergirl Season 1

Scott Delahunt
April 20, 2018
Lost in Translation
The series has the potential to be the definitive version of Supergirl, much like the Richard Donner Superman.

Lost in Translation 250: Arrow

Scott Delahunt
April 13, 2018
Lost in Translation
With Arrow, while Oliver isn’t the Emerald Archer seen in comics, he’s heading in that direction.

Lost in Translation 249: Kingsman – The Secret Service

Scott Delahunt
April 6, 2018
Lost in Translation
The end result, though, is that the movie Kingsman: The Secret Service is very much the comic, despite the differences.

Lost in Translation 248: Josie and the Pussycats

Scott Delahunt
March 30, 2018
Lost in Translation
The live action Josie and the Pussycats is an evolution for the characters.

Lost in Translation 247: Adapting to the Tabletop

Scott Delahunt
March 16, 2018
Lost in Translation
Tabletop RPGs bring together a group on a regular basis to play, to socialize, and to relax.

Lost in Translation 246: Reboot – The Guardian Code

Scott Delahunt
March 9, 2018
Lost in Translation
Reboot: The Guardian Code as it appears in the trailer is what Lost In Translation is trying to highlight as something to avoid.

Lost in Translation 245: The Pragmatic Adaptation

Scott Delahunt
March 2, 2018
Lost in Translation
It’s in the how the change is done that will make the difference to an audience.

Lost in Translation 244: The Dresden Files

Scott Delahunt
February 23, 2018
Lost in Translation
The Dresden Files TV series manages to get the tone right, but flubs the details.

Lost in Translation 243: Tails of Equestria

Scott Delahunt
February 16, 2018
Lost in Translation
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.

Lost in Translation 242: The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle

Scott Delahunt
February 9, 2018
Lost in Translation
Much like the original cartoon, The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle has elements in it for both children and adults.

Lost in Translation 241: Thunderbirds (2004)

Scott Delahunt
February 2, 2018
Lost in Translation
The story itself would fit with the original TV series. International Rescue remained a rescue service, not a crime fighting unit.

Lost in Translation 240: Dragnet

Scott Delahunt
January 26, 2018
Lost in Translation
The origin of the police procedural can be traced to one series, Dragnet.

Lost in Translation: Wrapping up 2017

Scott Delahunt
January 12, 2018
Lost in Translation
If adaptations ruled the silver screen last year, they dominated this year.

Lost in Translation: Looking to 2018

Scott Delahunt
January 5, 2018
Lost in Translation
Until audiences are tired of only adaptations, original works will have to find ways of getting into the popular subconscious in new ways.
