'Grey's' Isn't Going Anywhere
'Red Widow' Gets The Axe
Coming to the big screen: Magnum, Wonder Woman ... and V?

We all know that studios go ga-ga for big screen movies based on TV shows. Even if they tank, there seems to be an unending appetite to bring a beloved (or even semi-beloved) TV show to a theater near you: The Fugitive, Charlie's Angels, Transformers, The Beverly Hillbillies, Serenity (Firefly), The Simpsons, South Park, The Flintstones, The Jetsons...the list is endless. Now Den of Geek has a list of 23 shows that studios are planning to bring to the big screen.But this list is really incomplete in so many ways. We've all heard that Magnum, P.I. might get the movie treatment, but this list only says that Matthew McConaughey might star and doesn't mention other people who have been rumored to have been attached to it in the past, including Ben Affleck and George Clooney.
It mentions that The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan might direct The Prisoner, but doesn't mention the AMC miniseries coming up. There's also no mention of I Dream of Jeannie, which could star Jessica Alba. And Hustle? It's not "coming" to America, they've been showing it for quite some time here.
But it's still an OK list. Other shows that might become movies include The A-Team, Dallas, Arrested Development, Thundercats, Wonder Woman, and even V. Wow...V? I loved the first one but when it became a series it was rather bad. Let's hope a big screen version isn't just an excuse to have more explosions.
