Page "Remake" Paragraph 17

A re-versioned film is also possible.

An example of a re-versioned film is Woody Allen's What's Up, Tiger Lily ?, in which the director wrote new English dialogue for the Japanese film International Secret Police: Key of Keys for comic effect.

A director's cut, extended cut or special edition of an existing film is generally not considered " new " as it is with a television production.

However, these updated versions of films can be similar to a re-versioning depending on the extent of what is done.

The updated versions of Superman II and the Star Wars Trilogy would be examples of films similar to a re-versioning.
