I don’t know about you, but there have been times that I walk out of a movie theater thinking that the movie I just saw would be an amazing TV show. We have seen this with movies like Fargo, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, M*A*S*H* and Friday Night Lights all become successful television shows. Here is a list of five movies that I think would make great TV shows:
#5: Watchmen
While I may not be the biggest fan of Zack Snyder’s comic book adaptation, I think it would be cool to see the world of Watchmen fleshed out a little bit with a TV series. We would watch humanity try to recover while superheroes are no longer accepted by society.
#4: The Usual Suspects
You could essentially take this movie and turn it into a House of Cards type TV series where we follow a criminal instead of a politician (unless of course they are the same thing :p). We could all use a little more Kevin Spacey narrating his schemes to the audience while showing a facade to those around him.
#3: Inception
This would be a great crime show. We could bring back the original cast from the movie and watch them travel multiple criminal’s minds as they try to prevent or solve crimes. You could even bring in guest stars to be business heads, criminals, or politicians that Leonardo DiCaprio and Joseph Gordon-Levitt interrogate. It just sounds like an awesome show idea.
#2: Spider-Man
Yep, you heard me. It has been a long time since the web-slinger has had a really successful movie. I know every superhero has a plethora of villains to go with, but I feel like Spider-Man has the most potential as a TV show. There are a ton of great villains to pull from and can even have the Sinister Six meet up on occasion and try to defeat Spider-Man
#1: The Matrix
There is so much potential here. Although the story line kind of ended with the third movie, I feel like it would have been even better to turn it into a TV series. Imagine going on Netflix and streaming the latest season of The Matrix. If you could get the original cast back, there is so much you could with the Matrix universe and I would have loved to see a TV series about it.
What movie would you want to see continued as a TV series? Comment and let me know
