Well, that is a good point. However, in those films James Cameron would probably have given expressed consent. There would also be an army of copyright lawyers. It wouldn't be one person's vision, but a plethora of writers, producers, editors, a director and many, many assistant directors.

I also see film and music as different from literature, as they are constantly trying to keep in the public vogue, unlike books which are anchored solidly. It is common to re-boot films, as they are more of a director's vision and not their original ideas to begin with anyway.

I can't think of a single re-written book. Can you?
