	Remaking East Asia, Outsourcing Hollywood
		Some attribute the remaking trend to East Asia's rich supernatural tradition as represented in the 18th century Japanese short story collection Tales of Moonlight and Rain (Ugetsu Monogatari), part of which became the base for the acclaimed film Kwaidan made by Masaki Kobayashi in 1964.
		Cousins is right in suggesting that the current remaking trend should not be regarded as an isolated phenomenon: East Asian cinema's creative imitation of Hollywood is based on East Asia's long history of film industries whose accumulation of talents and artistic expressions is finally being recognised and materialised.
		East Asian filmmakers were more than happy to sell the remaking rights to Hollywood, for the fee paid by Hollywood studios – albeit a small portion of the remaking cost – would most likely recuperate what they originally spent on making the films.
