A variation on TheRemake is this trope, an [[CulturalTranslation English version of a foreign movie]]. It can be between any two countries, such as ''Film/TheRing'', a Japanese film remade in the US.

* ''Film/{{Pathfinder}}'' is an American action remake of the Oscar-nominated Norwegian film ''Ofelas''.

It has become common in the past few decades to make updated versions of older films. This can be done for several reasons: the director may be a fan of the original work, the studios may want to capitalize on nostalgia, or the writers may want to approach the original plot from a different angle[[note]]Cynics will complain that it's because writers are too lazy to come up with original stories, but [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment main pages are not places for debate]][[/note]]. A movie is not a remake if it is based on the same source as an earlier film, such as the 1967 and 1998 versions of ''Doctor Doolittle'', which were both based on the book series, as well as the 1969 and 2010 versions of ''True Grit''.

->''"I thought ''Film/ChariotsOfFire'' was a remake of ''Film/BenHur'' with flamethrowers."''

** ''The Mighty Peking Man'' from UsefulNotes/HongKong.
** There was a joint US/Korean production called ''A.P.E.'', which is famous for featuring the mom from ''Series/GrowingPains'' and a giant monkey giving the [[FlippingTheBird finger to the military.]]

* The 1978 UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}} movie, ''Don'', has been remade a total of ''six'' times. In 1979, 1980, 1986, [[Bollywood/DonTheChaseBeginsAgain 2006]], 2007, and 2009.

* ''Film/Overboard2018'', the 2018 remake of [[Film/{{Overboard}} the 1987 film]].

* ''WebAnimation/TOME'', which ran from 2004-2007 on Creator/{{Newgrounds}} and [=Fireball20xl=], has recently gotten a remake named TOME, much to the surprise and satisfaction of fans.

!!Examples

* Believe it or not, the 1986 Creator/JohnWoo movie, ''Film/ABetterTomorrow'', the movie that kickstarted the HeroicBloodshed genre, was actually a remake of a 1967 Cantonese movie called ''Ying Xiong Ben Se'' or "Story of a Discharged Prisoner." Tsui Hark had been toying with the idea since his days in the TV business, but because of an overwhelming workload, Hark had to pass the directorial reins to Woo.

* A good chunk of Hispanic {{Soap Opera}}s are either remakes of previous soaps (TV or radio) or adaptations of famous romantic books. One example who combine both is the famed "Corazón Salvaje" (title translates to ''Savage Heart''), who began as a romantic novel, then was adapted as a soap in TheSixties, then later as a movie in TheSeventies, and then again as a soap in TheNineties who unusually for the trope was claimed as the better version of them all.

* ''Film/{{Airplane}}'': The plot and much of the "straight" dialogue were taken from ''Zero Hour!''. Here's [[http://www.rogermwilcox.com/zero_hour.html the dialog script]], so you can see for yourself. The lines that also appear in ''Airplane!'' are in boldface.
* Someone remade the opening song of ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OABeWNqZph4 in live action]]. And it is awesome.

* For more non-TV or movie examples, we have Fanfic/TheCalvinverse:

* ''Last Man Standing'' is a remake of a remake, being a remake of a ''Fistful of Dollars'' which was a remake of ''Yojimbo''

* Non [=TV/Movie=] example: The [[Toys/NerfBrand NERF N-Strike elite series]] is mostly made of remakes of previous blasters. Compare the [[http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Firestrike_(N-Strike_Elite) Firestrike]] to the [[http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Nite_Finder_EX-3 Nite Finder]], or the [[http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Strongarm_(N-Strike_Elite) Strongarm]] to the [[http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Maverick_REV-6 Maverick]]

** Notable ones include ''Franchise/{{Dragnet}}'' (1987) and ''Series/TheBradyBunch Movie'' (1995).

* For the CD release of ''Music/PacManFever,'' Buckner and Garcia were not allowed to access their original recordings from 1982, and Sony Music refused to release the original album on CD. Therefore, the band had to redo all of the songs with modern sound-alike recordings. With the remake of "Mousetrap", the band had to make use of StockSoundEffects of a cat, mouse, dog, and bird since there wasn't a functioning ''VideoGame/MouseTrap'' arcade game machine around at the time of the recording.

* The 1996 version of ''Film/TheNuttyProfessor''.

* ''Film/Piranha3D'', the 2010 remake of ''Film/{{Piranha}}.
