"Modern Adaptation" Movies
← See all keywords
Movies that are adaptations of source material set in a different time period. However, the term "modern" isn't always 100% accurate, as this keyword includes films set in different, more recent time periods, but not present day. This also includes films based on source material that itself is a modern adaptation. For example, if a novel takes a bible story and sets it in the 1850s, the resulting movie would be considered a modern adaptation, even if the movie is also set in the 1850s.
