  3. Screen Serialities

This series provides a forum for introducing, analysing and theorising a broad spectrum of serial screen formats - including franchises, series, serials, sequels and remakes - from various perspectives: historical and contemporary, national and transnational, across old and new media platforms. Over and above individual texts that happen to be serialised, the book series takes a guiding focus on seriality as an aesthetic and industrial principle that has shaped the narrative logic, socio-cultural function and economic identity of screen texts across more than a century of cinema, television and ‘new’ media.

  • This wide-ranging, historically grounded exploration of motion picture remakes produced in East Asia brings together original contributions from experts in Chinese, Hong Kong, Japanese, South Korean, and Taiwanese cinemas and puts forth new ways of thinking about the remaking process as both a critically underappreciated form of artistic expression and an economically motivated industrial practice. Exploring everything from ethnic Korean filmmaker Lee Sang-il's 'Unforgiven' (2013), a Japanese remake of Clint Eastwood's Western of the same title, to Stephen Chow's 'The Mermaid' (2016), a Chinese slapstick reimagining of Walt Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' (1989) and Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 fairy tale, East Asian Film Remakes contributes to a better understanding of cinematic remaking across the region and offers vital alternatives to the Eurocentric and Hollywood-focused approaches that have thus far dominated the field.
