FILM REMAKES

CONSTANTINE VEREVIS

Film Remakes

‘In this groundbreaking study, Constantine Verevis explores an aspect of

commercial ﬁlm production interesting to the scholar and movie enthusi-

ast alike: remaking. Film Remakes can be proﬁtably viewed from a number

of perspectives, and this book provides an intriguing and revealing

anatomy of the phenomenon. Verevis writes with verve and insight; an

important feature of Film Remakes is the series of individual analyses that

sparkle with revealing and intelligent comment as they clarify general

points about remaking. Though theoretically informed, this book is won-

derfully accessible to the general reader.’
