The Film: David Lynch’s twisting strip of Hollywood dreams and nightmares, with an amnesiac mystery at its core that wraps around itself rather than unfurling to a solution.
The Spin-off: Lynch’s best film (yes it is) started as a pilot for ABC before being refocused and restructured as the existing film. We basically want the original pitch – a troubled star with no memory, hunted by dangerous men, teaming up with a starry-eyed newcomer to investigate her life and the town behind it.
The Cast: The key parts are Lara Harring’s thick-lipped femme fatale – we’d have the lush, dangerous Christina Hendricks – and Naomi Watts’ Cinderella hopeful, who we’d have played by the still impossibly young Hayden Panettiere.

I could have picked 27 movies out of a hat and made the same argument.

The Burbs! It could feature Ricky Butler, Art Weingartner, Ray Peterson and Mark Rummsfield, being hired to investigate missing persons and strange goings on in middle class American suburbia! It would have to keep it's 80's setting too. Ray - Jon Cryer, Art - Matt LeBlanc (with a bit of weight on), Rummsfield - Bruce Campbell, Ricky Butler - Corey Feldman again.

I think maybe Underworld would do well on the small screen. The batle between the Vampires and Lycons might be good (saying that theres a lot of shows with vamps in them) all jumping on the Twilight bandwagon of Success.
