| Synopsis: |
This title discusses emerging modes of film adaptation, focusing on the computer-generated reconstructions of popular narratives and characters with other forms of convergence such as the Internet. The main corpus of film adaptation thus far has focused on films based on canonical literature. "From Film Adaptation to Post-Celluloid Adaptation" takes the next logical step by discussing the emerging modes of film adaptation from older media to new, mainly focusing on the computer-generated reconstructions of popular narratives and characters along with other forms of convergence such as the Internet. While 'New Media' is a broad concept, the book will concentrate on the ways digital technology is being used in the encoding of films and discuss the ways this shift can be debated from a theoretical perspective. Though the discussion is framed through the 'new media' lens, the work will not exclude a broader understanding of New Media which refers to video games, official websites and interactivity so as to examine how the visual style of contemporary films is dispersed across, and influenced by, other media.Discussing films like "Minority Report", "King Kong", "300" and "Wanted" in relation to Film Adaptation theory, the work aims to challenge and rework the definition of adaptation. |
