Not necessarily using the full script or footage, but things like characters, settings, design elements or wholesale plots. Even if they reused a script, anyone who's worked on a play knows you can have two very different scenes that started with the same script.
I haven't seen True Detective, but maybe he could have pulled off a successful second season if he could have freely adapted someone like G.R.R. Martin's story.
- dylan604 5y agoOops, stupid typos. It might be intersting to see Jeorge RR Martin's characters in a buddy cop detective series.
- boomboomsubban 5y agoI figured you combined Tolkien with Martin, I bet it's a pretty common mistake. Unfortunately any series trying that premise would need to wait like a century or pay Martin a ton of money, so you'll never know if it's interesting.
- dylan604 5y agoAhhh, I see the problem. You just need to be introduced to fanfic!
- boomboomsubban 5y agoFanfic is basically ignored copyright infringement, severely limiting the potential of the medium. There are plenty of examples of reboots and adaptations making new and superior works, copyright just adds an insurmountable barrier for most works.
