* ''Serenity'' was rebuilt for [[Serenity (Film)|the movie of the same name]].
* They had to recreate the miniatures from ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey (Film)|2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' for ''[[Two2010: Thousand Ten theThe Year We Make Contact (Film)|Two Thousand Ten the Year We Make Contact]]'' because the originals were destroyed after filming ''2001'' to make sure they wouldn't be [[Prop Recycling|reused in other movies]].
** On a related problem, they had tremendous difficulty recreating the 'old man' makeup for the old man version of Dave, as the only surviving images of the makeup were the ones in the original film. Success was confirmed when a passerby on the lot recognized the makeup.
* [[Mel Brooks]]' ''[[Young Frankenstein (Film)|Young Frankenstein]]'' rebuilt sets from the classic 1930s movies, often using original props.
Line 31:
* ''[[All in The Family]]'' - they decided to end the series, so they donated Archie's chair to the Smithsonian; when they decided to continue they had to recreate the chair. The chair originally cost like $2 from the Salvation Army, and the recreation cost thousands.
* They did this to ''[[The Beverly Hillbillies]]'s'' truck for the movie.
* The original sets from ''[[Babylon 5 (TV)|Babylon 5]]'' were kept in storage for many years in case of a sequel movie, revival, or in case ''[[Crusade (TV)|Crusade]]'' got picked up by another network. Wouldn't ya know, shortly after they finally got rid of some of the sets due to storage costs, they get greenlighted for direct-to-DVD sequels?
* When ''[[The Goodies (TV)|The Goodies]]'' moved from [[The BBC]] to [[ITV]] their new set was an almost identical copy of the original.
* For ''[[Stargate SG-1 (TV)|Stargate SG-1]]'', the sets from the ''[[Stargate (Film)|Stargate]]'' movie of the missile silo used as Stargate Command and the Abydonian gate room were rebuilt. The producers did find the gate prop used in the film, but it had decayed and was only good for getting a mold to work off of.
* The sitcom ''[[Eight8 Simple Rules]]'' once did a [[Actor Allusion]] involving John Ritter's character, where he had a nightmare that he was in an episode of ''[[Threes Company]]'', complete with a rebuilt version of the apartment set from that show.
** The ''Three's Company'' set was also rebuilt for a gag in Ritter's 1992 film ''Stay Tuned''.
* For the [[All Just a Dream]] ending to the last episode of ''[[Newhart]]'', the bedroom set from ''[[The Bob Newhart Show]]'' was rebuilt.
