I never bothered to check either out so I wouldn't know.
Calling a TV show or mini-series a remake of a movie just sounds wrong to me. It seems like there should be a new word for movies remade from TV shows (Dukes of Hazzard, Mission: Impossible) and TV shows remade from movies (The Shining?).
Yes, but I think the 2 hr. pilot episode of the series was a remake of the original movie if I'm not mistaken. Also, the new "Shining" was a remake of the Stanley Kubrick version. It was a mini-series on TV...but it was still a remake. Stephen King wanted it done because it was a much more closer adaptation to the book than Kubrick's version was...

Actually, the Dead Zone is a movie as well...not just a TV series...it's a damn good movie,too...Christopher Walken is awesome in it...I would have thought you movie buffs woulda known that.
