Publisher Synopsis
This challenging and energetic book places adaptation studies in a new media context and in the process offers us a model for interrogating the post-celluloid adaptation. This book revisits the thorny question of the limits of adaptation with subtlety and sophistication and offers compelling readings of some of the most commercially successful and popular film adaptations of recent times, strengthened by a firm grasp of contemporary industry processes and an intelligent investigation of new media paradigms. It will be a significant contribution to the field. Imelda Whelehan, Director, Centre for Adaptations, De Montfort University Read more...
