Big hits and cult flicks perfect for the small screen

Starship Troopers (1997)

The Film: Paul Verhoeven’s bawdy genius sci-fi propaganda, based on Robert A. Heinlein’s novel. It’s an intergalactic bug hunt, with the world transformed into a military war machine to fight our alien enemies.

The Spin-off: Unlike the existing animated series, we’re thinking live action Band Of Brothers In Space With Extra Gore And Over The Top Emotional Bits.

The Cast: Neil Patrick Harris and Casper Van Dien in cameo roles, and a new leader for the Roughnecks in the shape of Lucas Black.

      I always thought Let the right one in would well as a TV series, it would a bit more subtle that the shags and fangs of True BLood

      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.
