Television Goes to the Movies

Television and film have always been connected, but recent years have seen them overlapping, collaborating, and moving towards each other in ever more ways. Set amidst this moment of unprecedented synergy, this book examines how television and film culture interact in the 21st century.

"In Television Goes to the Movies, Jonathan Gray and Derek Johnson bundle their expertise to examine the relationship between television and film in the twenty-first century. The result is a compelling analysis of how these two media challenge, maintain, and transform industrial, textual, and technological boundaries a must-read for anyone interested in the contemporary media landscape."
