Kaplan* ABSTRACT In recent decades, studios that own film and television properties have developed business models that exploit the copyrights in those materials in every known market and in all currently conceivable forms of entertainment and merchandising. For the most part, uniform laws and parallel industry cultures permit smooth integration across formats. But theater is different. The work-made-for-hire provisions that allow corporations to function as the authors of the works they contract to create do not easily align with the culture and standard contract provisions of live theater. Conflicts arise when material that begins as a Hollywood property tries to make Carol M.

  • TV Remakes, Revivals, Updates, and Continuations: Making Sense of the Reboot on Television
    Représentations dans le monde anglophone – Janvier 2017 TV Remakes, Revivals, Updates, and Continuations: Making Sense of the Reboot on Television Mehdi Achouche, Université Lyon 3 Jean Moulin Keywords: reboot, remake, reimagining, update, TV series Mots-clés : reboot, remake, réinterprétation, adaptation, série télévisée When discussing the remake, it is generally the case that we are talking about the movie remake. Stigmatized or (more rarely) defended, the remake is historically thought of as a cinematographic institution, with very little thought devoted so far to the television remake1. Yet the phenomenon has been dramatically increasing over the past few years. A zap2it.com article counted in late 2013 32 projects being either remakes or spinoffs, with another 52 series being based on books or comics, accounting for 20% of the shows in development at the five broadcast networks for the 2014-15 season. By comparison, 53 such projects were developed throughout the previous season2. While TV series have been said to be in a new golden age thanks to their “cinematisation”, they thus allegedly are in danger, according to the same article, echoing the long-standing complaints about “recycling” on the big screen, of ironically falling victim to the “movie-fication” of the business: “TV development is starting to look an awful lot like the movie business, where at the big- studio level pre-sold franchises and risk aversion seem to be the guiding principles.” Or, as another writer puts it more succinctly, “there’s a point where the recycled material is just garbage”3. 1 Only two book-length studies entirely dedicated to the TV remake exist so far, edited by the same scholars: Lavigne Carlen, Marvotich Heather (eds.), American Remakes of British Television: Transformations and Mistranslations, Lenham: Lexington Books, 2011; and Lavigne, Carlen (ed.), Remake Television: Reboot Re-use Recycle.

It finds that technological innovations, the growth of a youth culture, and market forces in the post- World War II era came together to transform the normal musical experience from a social event grounded in live performance into a consumable recorded commodity that satisfied individual desires.

  • Edition 6 | 2018-2019
    Dear Ladies & Gentlemen, Good evening, and welcome to the Saroyan Theatre for the final show of our 17-18 season Fresno Lexus Broadway in Fresno Series. The Book of Mormon, winner of nine Tony Awards, is making its second appearance in Fresno. I’m Mike Gibson of Fresno Lexus and as the title sponsor of the Broadway Series, I want to extend my personal warm welcome to subscribers and patrons to these performances. Whether you are a subscriber, returning patron, or at our beloved Saroyan Theatre for the first time, thank you for coming! While we are on the cusp of beginning our programming for the 18-19 season, I did want to pass along some exciting news. At the time of my writing this letter, our subscription base for the upcoming season is at an all-time high. I personally am so grateful of Fresno’s response to Lexus Broadway in Fresno. And our 18-19 season is spectacular. Our first show, Disney’s The Lion King, is playing in late November and early December. Winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, this show is one of the most beloved, and celebrated, musicals. Directed by Julie Taymor, with music and lyrics by Sir Elton John and Tim Rice, this show is one everyone should see and we are excited to be part of its first Fresno engagement. I think you will find THE KING AND I to be “Something Wonderful”, that you will be “Over The Moon” at RENT and laugh till you cry as we say “Welcome To The Renaissance” with SOMETHING ROTTEN.
