Line 113:
* The British film studio [[Hammer Horror|Hammer Film Productions]] made its name by remaking many of [[Universal|Universal Pictures]]' [[Universal Horror|classic horror films]] from the '30s and '40s.
* ''Tees Maar Khan'' - ''[[After The Fox]]''
* ''Witness'' was remade as ''Paap'' (Sin) in Bollywood and as ''Wild Chase'' (starring [[Chow Yun Fat-fat]]) in Hong Kong.
* ''[[What Women Want]]'' -- ''Wo Zhi Nü Ren Xin''
* ''[[Groundhog Day]]'' was remade in Italy as ''È già ieri'' (''It's Already Yesterday'').
Line 135:
** ''Three's A Crowd'' - ''Robin's Nest''
* ''Skins'' - and the upcoming American remake of the same name.
* ''[[Being Human (UK)]]'', a British [[Magic Realism|comedy/drama/horror]] tv show has now been [[Being Human Remake(USA)|remade]] and is airing on [[Sy Fy|Syfy]]
* Swedes are quite happy to remake both British and American shows now and then, despite the fact that subtitles are the norm and American and British shows popular. Examples include:
** ''Älskade Lotten'' -- ''[[I Love Lucy]]''
Line 157:
 
=== Other Media Remakes ===
* As a kind of homage to this trope, the very-Japanese-style-horror [[Play StationPlayStation 2]] game ''[[Siren (video game)|Siren]]'' was remade as ''Siren Blood Curse'' on [[PlayStation 3]], along with all the changes that normally get applied to Hollywood remakes of Japanese horror (though the original ''Siren'' and its sequel did both get English releases first time round). While ''Siren Blood Curse'' is still set in a Japanese village, the all-Japanese cast of the original has been replaced with an American TV crew sent in to do a documentary about the legends surrounding the area.
* The ''[[Captain Future]]'' series of novels were adapted into a tokusatsu series in Japan titled ''Captain Ultra'', which was unrelated to Tsuburaya's [[Ultra Series]] despite the name, although it was treated by the network as such since it was picked up as a filler series between the finale of ''[[Ultraman]]'' and the premiere of ''[[Ultra Seven]]''.
* ''[[In Nomine]]'' was an American remake of French tabletop roleplaying game ''In Nomine Satanis/Magna Veritas''.
