I would love to see The Hunger Games, but it wouldn´t be the same without the movie cast. I mean who could play Effie Trinkett better then Elizabeth? The whole cast is awesome...so maybe X-Men could be a great show?
ReplyDeleteI don't think many of the concepts work very well for a series, like they are good for the 2 hours of a film but that's it.
ReplyDeleteJurassic Park would make a hell of a miniseries :3
ReplyDeleteThe Hunger Games was sort of turned into a tv show. It was on the CW and it was called Capture ;)
ReplyDeleteMetropolis. Classic.
ReplyDeleteAlien
ReplyDeleteLooper, The Host and I Am Number 4
ReplyDelete"I Am Number 4" -- I wouldn't surprised to find fewer than 10 people picked it. I also picked "X-Men" and "The Matrix". "X-Men" has been proven to be a good setup for episodic stories. "The Matrix" spawned some episodic stories so I think it would work well. I think "I Am Number 4" would work in an episodic set up as well. The story has a very "The Fugitive" feel about it.
ReplyDeleteMost of the movies on the list don't seem set up for episodic stories.
1) Blade Runner - just imagine Dekker chasing "Skin Jobs" in the 21st century and............the flying cars!
ReplyDelete2) Inception - if you saw the movie then you know what I'm already thinking............so many possibilities as a series.
3) Cabin in the Woods - this one would be tricky. You'll need top notch Show Runner(s) and writers to make it work, but a change of "Cabin Victims" picking a different "Cursed Item" every season could do it..............IMO!
4 EVER, Nobody!!!
Id love to see a Dune tv show. You could Green Screen a lot, bring in a lot of European actors (to play up on the expanded universe) Not neccesarily have it set on Dune though
ReplyDeleteIm not sure about an X men tv show . People identify to characters like Wolverine now with Hugh Jackman. Too hard to break that bond.
Since there were other numbers that could be worked into the story, I think it would work great. So far over 40 people picked it.
ReplyDeletea procedural minority report can be cool :D or maybe not.
ReplyDeleteI say X-Men because we see the origin of their story and plus it's heroes I am number four could work it's alien and nice love story I would say Hunger Games but how would that work and bedside they have a show like that coming on CW call The 100 People The Host could work love the movie these movies would be great for the CW or Abc Family I can see The Host I Am Number Four be great on abc family or syfy X-Men would be great on Cw
ReplyDeleteOther: "I, Robot". Each short story of the Robot series would do a great episode. Plus Susan Calvin could be an interesting main character.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the move Cube, but it would make a terrible TV show. Maybe a one time miniseries would work but it's really better as a one off concept.
ReplyDelete12 Monkeys is going to be a series this year
I have a hard time seeing The Hunger Games as a TV show unless they did it 24 style and each hour was an episode.
ReplyDeleteOut of all the choices I am #4 and Looper are the only two that I could see being episodic. X-Men could too but there are too many superhero shows on TV right now anyway for me.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree. It would be difficult to make a show out of this. Maybe if they started from very 1st Hunger Games to 75th :D :D
ReplyDeleteX-Men is always a good choice. And Minority Report could actually make for a good tv show.
ReplyDeleteInception, XMen, Other= Jurrasic Park
ReplyDeleteHa! I love the idea of a prequel. How exactly did they get into that mess to begin with? What was the war about? Yeah, definitely good material here.
ReplyDeleteThat's the same 3 I chose
ReplyDeleteWhat is that saying Ralph..................brilliant minds think alike! I'd have Ridley Scott Ex. Produce Blade Runner: The Series to make sure they got it right. Inception sells itself.............#3LL we get Leo D. to produce it if Nolan is to busy. Cabin in the Woods should work on a "Horror Anthology" formula similar to American Horror Story. I believe these three would not only work, but would make seasons of great TV entertainment!
ReplyDelete4 EVER, Nobody!!!
Question about Gilmore Girls..does it have an ending or am I going to be left hanging? Don't have many eps to go.
ReplyDeleteI don't know actually. Once they changed Rory and Dean into adulterers I stopped watching. As my kid would say that is "no bueno for me."
ReplyDeleteExcept X-Men (and I don't like this idea at all) none of these! Blade Runner was one of my favorite movies as a young girl and I don't want it to be ruin by a TV show. Actually I don't like the idea of adapting a good SF movie as a TV show because it usually means that the quality level is about to go down obviously...And also when I'm watching TV I prefer watching something NEW and written as an original TV series than something I've already seen on theater.
ReplyDeleteThe only show I watched that was better than the original movie is Buffy.
Did you say Person of Interest?
ReplyDeleteDune beyond a shadow of a doubt.
ReplyDeletethe handmaid's tale ... it was one of the most impressive books I have ever read and I can picture it working as a show.
ReplyDeletebut also elysium
Westworld, Cabin in the Woods, and X-Men
ReplyDeleteThe Hunger Games would be difficult, it wouldn't be able to be 22 episodes, lots of cast members would be killed off, but I suppose each episode could be like a day.
ReplyDeleteInception could work as a series, and probably X-Men too.
ReplyDeleteI think that a lot of movies have potential for a TV series as long as the writers don't keep the story within the confines of the original plot (e.g. I would never have predicted the success of Buffy when they decided to make it into in a series!). Anyway, I love science fiction movies (especially the futuristic ones that revolve around dystopian-type societies), so I've always thought that it would be cool to see some of these movies adapted into a TV series. Anyway, these were some of my top choices:
ReplyDelete1. Matrix: I think it would be awesome to have a series derived mainly from the 1st movie, that expanded more on characters living cluelessly in the virtual world and those living in the "real world".
2. I am Number 4: I thought this movie was better than the critics thought and I was always surprised that they didn't make additional sequels (e.g. I am number 5, 6, 7, etc). It seems like the type of show that would work on the CW.
3. The Host: Another movie that I liked a lot more than the reviews. The concept was interesting and the way it ended also had a lot of potential for expansion.
4. Source Code: It think this could make for an awesome procedural-type show where they use the source code to solve different crimes
5. Looper: This movie ended way before I wanted it to end! But a series focusing on a kid growing up with dangerous powers, with Terminator-type theme could be cool..
6. Cabin in the Woods:Another movie that blew me away. A series where each episode has characters making different choices with the facility as a subplot could be interesting with a very skilled set of producers. Although maybe you shouldn't tamper with a good thing...
7. A.I.: To me, this is a flim that would have worked better as a series. Sort of like a non-cop version of "Almost Human".
8. Chronicle: 3 guys suddenly get powers also has a lot of potential. As long as we didn't have to watch it through a hand held camera!
9. The Handmaid's tale; One of my favorite movies/books of all times. A series based on that type of society has a lot of potential (especially for a Cable show, I think).
Twelve Monkeys Is Already Being Adapted Into A Tv Series At Syfy.
