Movies that should be shows

How do you leave the best one off the list lol

(Fargo)

That's what I was gonna say, and that's a great example. The series uses the world of the movie, but otherwise is unrelated, and is just telling different stories within the world.

Star Wars.

Star Wars.

There are the animated shows, and there has been talk of a live action show.

Varsity Blues is being developed for CMT now.

The trick is for the world that's created to be interesting enough to explore multiple stories within it. It certainly helps if the characters are interesting enough to follow through multiple stories too, but it really requires the world to be interesting more than the characters even.

Eyes Wide Shut would've been a great HBO series. Lord of the Rings could've been broken out. Star Wars could've been broken out. End of Watch would've made a good series.

If you liked end of watch, you might find southland enjoyable. They share pretty much the same world (2 cops in gangbanger LA).

I've got some intention of checking out Southland. I know a girl who was a dead body on an episode.

She's really making her mark on the acting world, isn't she?

X-Men should have been done as a live action TV show years ago.

I believe fox has it in development right now. Once they do you know Wolverine will not show up until season 5.

TV doesn't have the budget to make a convincing X-Men show IMO.

Yeah, she doesn't sound very bright, so I don't think it was in the cards. But she did some modelling, not fashion stuff, she's just way too short, but was really involved in makeup, body paint type of modelling. She's plenty hot. And that was a long time ago. I believe one of the people she did some bodypaint work with got a gig doing makeup on the show and they used her briefly in a scene. I tried to find it once to confirm it, but it's not listed anywhere.

Wouldn't work for me. That cartoon holds too special of a place, and I couldn't look at them separately.

The one cbm that stands out to me is Ghost Rider. I'd like to see what writers could do telling the story of who Johnny Blaze was, how he became the rider and introducing Mephisto when it's not all jammed into the first hour of a movie.

Star Wars.

Production value would be too costly I'm afraid.
