Deja View

2011—2023 · VIDEO SERIES

Winner of 4 Telly Awards

Ever seen RoboCop with vampires? Aliens vs. the Terminator? Psycho as a musical? Deja View explores the strange and fascinating world of international remakes and unofficial adaptations, where familiar Hollywood stories are reimagined through different cultures, industries, and filmmaking traditions.

Created and hosted by Ed Glaser, the series grew out of a fascination with the unexpected ways movies travel across borders and take on new lives in different cultures. From Turkish superheroes to Bollywood horror, each episode examines how filmmakers around the world transformed popular stories into remakes, reimaginings, and unabashed rip-offs all their own. The series received four Telly Awards, including a highest-honor Silver Telly, and later inspired the book How the World Remade Hollywood.
