Movies to Television


So if you knew that a movie could be made into a television show and not fail miserably or kill what you think of the movie.. basically if it would succeed, which do you think would be interesting to see made?

I think Captain Fantastic would make a good television show. It was such a good movie and seems like there would be a lot of story lines they could make up.

The Godfather Part II would've been better as a mini series.

agreed. It's been awhile since I have seen them but just after thinking them over as you mentioned it.. I don't remember much of part III. Would you say they are ranked in the order they are released? (As far as how good they are). I think I might have just tried to watch the trilogy too many times when I was younger and didn't make it to see III as much as the others. ;)

reply

Yes, I would rank them in the order they were released. The first movie is just fine as it is. The third movie I don't care for at all. One of the things I personally never liked about the second movie was the jumping in timelines, it just didn't work for me. There actually was a four part mini series that told the stories of first two movies in chronological order and I actually liked that much better.

reply

Yes, even though I hadn't seen it in so long I can still clearly remember the jumping in time lines being the downfall.
Yeah, maybe there is a reason I don't remember the third one. Never heard of the four part mini series.

It's from 1977 and called The Godfather Saga. I only saw it once in the 90s.

I Am Number Four. Seems like it was meant to be a TV show; it failed as a movie coz it's not meant to be a movie.

Also, I wouldn't mind a Breakfast Club tv show.
