Film Remakes

 Robocop (1987)              -               Robocop (2014)




The original film was released in 1987 and then was remade in 2014.
The difference between the old and new version is the fact that they are set in different times, so the technology is obviously much more advanced such as the costumes and the camera quality isn't as clear as the new version, also the scenery is much more developed. There is also a whole new storyline, in the old version the main character himself is brutally murdered by a group of criminals where as in the new film the main character is set up and blown up in a car explosion.

Carrie (1976)                 -                Carrie (2013)



Carrie was released in 1976 and was remade in 2013 with improved camera effects and clearer quality. Originally Carrie is about a supernatural teenager named Carrie White who is abused by her mother and faces high school cruelty, Which brings us one of the most memorable and disturbing prom scenes in history. There's not much of a storyline difference since the 2013 redo also has a disturbing prom scene and gets tormented by teens and her deeply religious mother. The difference between both Carries is that the remake has new technology for example better camera quality and new special effects, where as the original version had a lot of zoom in shots and old music, they didn't have these types of effects and technology back in the 1970's. The redo was made better and more advanced.

       Willy Wonka (1971)        -            Charlie (2005)        

& the Chocolate Factory  



Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a 1971 musical adventure film. It is about a boy named Charlie as he receives a Golden Ticket and visits Willy Wonka's chocolate factory with four other children from around the world. The primary shooting location was West Germany, because it was significantly cheaper than filming in the U.S. and the setting was conducive to Wonka's factory. Visually the film is more hit and miss, doing as much as it can with the special effects available in 1971. After 20 years the film was remade in 2005 and named Charlie and the Chocolate factory. The storyline was the same and there wasn't too many digital effects because the director wanted the younger actors to feel as if they were working in a realistic environment, also forced perspective techniques, oversized props and scale models were used to avoid computer-generated imagery.

  1. This is a really well-presented piece of research. Make sure that you fully include your findings here in your Final Report. Discuss the similarities and differences eg. how the 'girls' in Carrie are just as 'bitchy' in the old as in the new version. How the children in Willy Wonka display the same characteristics and why think this is etc. How technology advances are evidenced and the effect this ahs on the final film.
