* ''Serenity'' was rebuilt for [[Serenity

** 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.

* ''[[Star Wars]]'' had to do this for the movie prequel's Tatooine sets, since they were actually built in real-life deserts and had been swallowed up by sand over the decades.
** An example of the revamp the set version: the Millennium Falcon interior sets were outfitted with more flashing lights and other detailing between ''[[A New Hope]]'' and ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]''.
* The ''[[Harry Potter (
** Some places originally shot on location were later reproduced as sets at Leavesden Studios. For example, Privet Drive was a real street on the first movie, but a backlot reproduction was used from the second movie onwards. The hospital wing was Oxford Divinity School in the first movie, but it became a set in the second film. Amusingly, Oxford Divinity School later appeared as a different room in the fourth movie. In a weird example, Snape's classroom was filmed in the Lacock Abbey sacristy in the first film, but later his classroom became a set which did not even remotely look like the same room. It appears they took the Snape's office set from the second movie and revamped it into his classroom for the fifth movie (the classroom does not appear onscreen between the first and fifth movies).
** A grassy courtyard in Hogwarts was filmed in the cloister of Durham Cathedral for the first two movies. Then in the fourth film, a courtyard at Oxford's Magdalen College was used to depict the same location. Finally, the sixth movie reproduced the courtyard as a Leavesden set.
** The ''Chamber of Secrets'' set was not saved after the filming of ''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets''. When the Chamber had to reappear in ''Hallows: Part 2'', they filmed the actors in front of a green screen and recreated the Chamber as a CGI set rather than rebuilding it for real. This makes a certain amount of sense, seeing how the Chamber was a ''very'' large set and the scene featuring it in ''Hallows'' was pretty brief.

* The later ''[[Star Trek]]'' series have rebuilt or partially rebuilt sets from the original ''[[Star Trek:
** The TOS bridge set in "Relics" was built partly from original props and on the original stage, but they rented a replica of the captain's chair from a fan. Kirk's original chair went missing at some point, apparently.
** An "they took the opportunity to revamp the set" example occurs in ''[[Star Trek Generations]]'', where during the short hiatus between the ''TNG'' television series and the movie, the designers significantly altered the 1701-D bridge, adding new workstations and placing steps beneath the Captain's chair (symbolically raising him above the two chairs either side of him).
** Some ''Next Generation'' sets were rebuilt for the ''Enterprise'' finale "These Are The Voyages..." Only a small part of Ten Forward was rebuilt with [[Stock Footage]] being used for an [[Establishing Shot]] of the room. The only set which did not have to be rebuilt from scratch was the observation lounge, which had since been modified to become the observation lounge of the ''Enterprise''-E, so they just had to modify it back.
** The ''Excelsior'' bridge from ''[[Star Trek VI:
* ''[[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]]'' were kept in storage for many years in case of a sequel movie, revival, or in case ''[[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 ''[[
* For ''[[
* The sitcom ''[[8 Simple Rules]]'' once did a [[Actor Allusion]] involving John Ritter's character, where he had a nightmare that he was in an episode of ''[[
** 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.
