In television production, re-version is the process of re-versioning, the relatively recent phenomenon of recycling pre-existing productions, even entire series, into "new" shows.
Completed television shows that have already aired are re-edited or supplied with new voice-over, graphics or music, and then aired with a new title, often for a new audience. Sometimes the changes are relatively minor, as in the case of Prehistoric Planet, which was made from the original series Walking with Dinosaurs.
An example of a re-versioned film is Woody Allen's What's Up, Tiger Lily?, in which the director wrote new English dialogue for the Japanese film International Secret Police: Key of Keys for comic effect.
