The Age of Remakes: A Critical Review of Hollywood's Love Affair with Reboots (2000–2005) by Gregory Hammond is a comprehensive exploration of Hollywood's embrace of reboots and remakes during the early 2000s. Through an in-depth critical lens, this book examines how studios turned to familiar stories, revisiting iconic films and TV shows to reimagine them for a modern audience. The author critically dissects the cultural, commercial, and artistic motivations behind these reboots, highlighting the balance between financial gain and creative reinvention. With insights into the impact of digital technology, changing audience expectations, and the rise of franchise filmmaking, Hammond takes readers on a journey through Hollywood's transformation during a pivotal period in cinematic history.
