Wikipedia
Remake
A remake is a film, television series, video game, song or similar form of entertainment that is based upon and retells the story of an earlier production in the same medium—e.g., a "new version of an existing film". A remake tells the same story as the original but uses a different cast, and may alter the theme or change the story's setting. A similar but not synonymous term is reimagining, which indicates a greater discrepancy between, for example, a movie and the movie it is based on.

A remake is a new version or recreation of something that already exists such as a film, piece of music, television show, video game, or other work of art, generally produced with the intention of improving, updating or revitalizing the original. Remakes are often designed to be similar to the original, but not identical, incorporating new technology, modernized scripts, or updated concepts.

In movies, a remake is a motion picture based on a film produced earlier. The term remake can refer to everything on the spectrum of reused material: both an allusion or a line by line change retake of a movie. However, the term generally pertains to a new version of an old film. A reproduced television series could also be called a remake.
