ive noticed recently that several 'decent' movies are being turned into tv programmes, has the industry finally run out of ideas, so far ive seen;
Shooter - dont bother, not sure how they could drag that film out into 10 x 45 minute programmes and still have massive plot holes in, set-up for season 2
Training Day - set up after the film, so im wondering if the lead black actors dad was the dirty cop in the film and Bill Baxman is Ethan Hawke (i could read imbd i guess but...)

Not see but its coming to itv soon;
Lethal Weapon

Any others?

ok, didnt realise it had occurred more often that i thought (though some suggestions are 'old'), and while its all relative to the viewer but what are the decent crossovers, For example, i liked Ben Affleck as Dare Devil and enjoy the tv series, yet others think the film is ste. However, can we count on Marvel programmes given the comics came first?

Anyway, Shooter TV Series = waste of time
Constantine (yes a DC comic) was quite good i thought but been canned
