Question regarding recreation of other games/movies content

Dear Community,

I have a rather short question … browsing the works in progress forums and other sub-forums on this site I’ve seen a bit of remakes of games and/or movie scenes.
My question is can I do the same for a personal hobby? Or is it a risk I take while stepping forth into such a realm of recreation of a companies content?

Thank you for your time.

For your personal hobby that’s fine–technically they can make you remove stuff you post online if it uses copyrighted content, but no one really does that. If you try to make money off it then that’s an issue, like if you try to sell it. It should be perfectly fine to make for fun or a portfolio piece.

Fantastic! Thank you. The portfolio piece was the main concern I have no desire to make money off others IP; just think it would be fun (not to mention I’m a programmer, not a creative artist :P).
