He's rewritten origin about film again (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reshoot

'film again' is the definition.
('shoot' can be a synonym for 'film' so perhaps 'reshoot' is OK for 'film again')

'he's rewritten origin about' is the wordplay.
'rewritten' indicates an anagram.
'origin' becomes 'root' (synonyms).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'hes' is an anagram of 'esh'.
'esh' inserted within 'root' is 'RESHOOT'.

(Another definition for reshoot that I've seen is " Do take over".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
