Lorewashing is when a movie or a tv show corporation decide to do a new take on a established book or video game lore because they decide that the story is of little importance to them and that they can modify masterpieces at their will.
They qualify it of "new", "unique" and "attractive".
Outside of the exception of some movies, most of the lorewashing victims are thrown in oblivion of the public memories. They usually come with a ton of CGI, bad jokes, akward moments and are frozen in the modern time instead if being legacy work.
Famous examples: Eragon, DnD, Wheel of Time, Narnia, Disney erasement of the Star Wars extended universe .
