Explores how cult and classic '60s British films are remade by Hollywood in the new millennium
Hollywood Remakes of Iconic British Films: Class, Gender and Stardom investigates film remaking from the unique perspective of cross-cultural exchange between two countries who share a common language and history in film cooperation. Each chapter discusses classic British films connected by the same star, genre and theme to trace the change from 1960s optimism to the despondency of the 1970s. Rasmus scrutinizes millennial remakes to show how they transform the representation of class, gender and stardom to comply with industrial trends and appeal to a twenty-first century global audience. Case studies include Alfie (1966; 2004), Bedazzled (1967; 2000), The Italian Job (1969; 2003), Get Carter (1971; 2000), Sleuth (1972; 2007), The Wicker Man (1973; 2006) as well as The Limey (1999).
