Genres can be heavily influenced and suddenly rekindle their popularity or change direction because of the impact of individual texts which come to be seen as genre defining. Genre defining moments are fairly rare in the media and may only become apparent long after a text is produced when we can properly see its influence. Although films which are successful at their release will be imitated in media owners’ attempts to cash in on what made them popular, the most influential or critically acclaimed films are not always those that are the most popular.

As well as the influence of particular texts it is also important to recognize the impact of particular directors, authors and stars. For example, the influence of Hitchcock, often described as amaster of suspense, continues to be seenin contemporary thrillers not least those which are remakes of his work such as A Perfect Murder or Gus Van Sant’s “karaoke” Psycho. Some films are made as vehicles to showcase a particular star and exploit his or her popularity (this was particularly evident in the number of action films starring Schwarzenegger or Stallone) while the names of particular authors will guarantee funding for their books, and often the films of their books. Many films arebased on the thrillers of John Grisham, for example, and, more recently, J. К Rowling has earned millions for herself and the publishing and film industries through her Harry Potter books.
