Adaptations that Lose their Message
Room 212A
Sunday August 28, 2022 - 11:00 am to 12:00 pm
Okay, we understand the darker, grittier reboots like Battlestar Galactica and Westworld. We understand remakes. But what about the shows that have completely lost the original message? How do we watch an Around the World in 80 Days that ignores the class system? Regency shows without rules for behavior? Superhero movies where the civilian casualties mount and the heroes don’t care? Are there rules for making these stories, or should there be? Panelists: Valerie Estelle Frankel, Alieu Bangura, Steven Li, Steve Frankel
