Remediations are everywhere

So, I sat down to watch a movie the other day, and as I sat down and went to pull the DVD out of its case, it hit me. The movie was another example of a remediated text.
Here is a clip from it, in case you don't believe me.



Being based on a video game, even though it is set a year after the game itself, it is still a remediation. This made me realise that there are so many remediated texts around, and we don't even realise. Video games based off movies, or vice-versa, action figures/plushies of my favourite anime characters are all remediations!
