'Daniel Herbert and Constantine Verevis' Film Reboots is dedicated to a fundamental question of the form, namely why do reboots exist and what do they do? An impressive array of scholars engage with the contemporary reboot as an industrial practice, narrative strategy, political text, and fan object, using both expected (Batman, Star Wars) and unexpected (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Twin Peaks) franchises as case studies. This collection is an important addition to and intervention in the growing body of scholarship on screen serialities.' Amanda Ann Klein, East Carolina University 'Twenty-first century media culture is perpetually haunted by the films of the late twentieth century. The fascinating and essential essays in this collection provide insightful analyses of how the sequels, remakes, and reboots of these cinematic "ghosts" have dominated mainstream media for much of the last two decades.' Derek Kompare, Meadows School of the Arts, Southern Methodist University 'A thrilling compendium of 'lenses' through which to view and understand the mechanisms driving the unceasing remit of recycled narratives in contemporary cinema, Film Reboots offers a definitive take on new modes of storytelling. An essential volume for anyone remotely interested in film.' Carolyn Jess-Cooke, University of Glasgow Bringing together the latest developments in the study of serial formatting practices - remakes, sequels, series - Film Reboots is the first edited collection to specifically focus on the new millennial phenomenon of rebooting. Through a vibrant set of case studies, this collection investigates rebooting as an industrial, textual and discursive practice that seeks to remake an entire film series or franchise, with ambitions that are at once respectful and revisionary. Examining such iconic examples as Batman, Ghostbusters and Star Trek, among others, this collection contends with some of the most important features of contemporary film and media culture today. Daniel Herbert is Associate Professor in the Department of Film, Television, and Media at the University of Michigan. Constantine Verevis is Associate Professor in Film and Screen Studies at Monash University, Melbourne.
