Answers:
It's not plagiarism, but rather a "reimagining" usually!.

For example, take "La Femme Nikita"!. The television show was based off of the movie Nikita by Luc Besson!. The main character, her handler, and the premise of the story were the same in both!. The pilot episode and another in the first season basically retold the story of the movie!. Yet, it ended up being a true series in its own right, taking the premise and expanding and twisting it!.

The same is true of the remakes of Battlestar Galactica and Bionic Woman (less successfully in that case)!. They may have the same characters and similar stories (and even, in BSG's case one of the same actors), but they are different shows that went in different directions!.

I cannot think of a show off of the top of my head that used the same actors as the movie version, but it has been done from stage to screen!. The majority of the actors who were in the Broadway production of Rent reprised their roles for the movie!.

In those cases it isn't any kind of infringement because the people making the remakes either were the copyright holders of the intellectual property or they acquired the rights/permission!.

It would help if I knew specifically what you were talking about, though, as it sounds like you are talking about a television show that has the same actors as a movie, but is using a different premise!? And isn't an "official" redo!? I can't think of anything that would qualify for that!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
