[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 52064, member: 33"] I don't get how TV series fit into this. I thought the definition given earlier was a good one: A film can be [I]based[/I] on a TV series (for which we already did a Top 10) but I don't see how a TV series can be [I]remade[/I] as a film. Also, a TV series based on a film is neither a film nor is it a [I]remake;[/I] it's a TV series [I]based[/I] on a film. To be a remake it has to cover the same general plot as the original. If it just uses characters and settings of the original film but follows a completely different story, then it's [I]based on[/I] or [I]inspired by[/I] the original film but is not a remake of it.
