The BBC America series ends Sunday but Copper may get a second life on the big screen. One day after the network announced that the Civil War-era series would be cancelled after two seasons, I’ve learned that co-creator/executive producer Tom Fontana and fellow EPs Barry Levinson and Tom Kelly are considering a movie version. The extensive story arc work Fontana did on a third season has the veteran producer eyeing revamping the material for a movie, sources say, with the potential big-screen version said to look at examining life in America after the death of Abraham Lincoln and the years of Reconstruction.

A lot of TV shows that end their run are "considered" for movie adaptations. Only a minority of them actually wind up getting one. I'm sorry to the fans, but I don't see this being any different from the majority.
ReplyDeleteI liked this show, I hope they'll get a movie and be able to give a great closure to Copper.
