Only half read mail, keen to have another film version (6)
I believe the answer is:
remake
'only half read mail' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'keen to have another film version' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'have' could be 'make' (synonyms) and 'make' is found within the answer.
'another' could be 're' (I've seen this in other clues) and 're' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for remake that I've seen before include "one similar?" , "Updated version" , "Second version of film" , "New version of an old film" , "Fashion again" .)
