10 Movies You Didn't Know Are Becoming TV Shows

2. Monster-In-Law

Monster-In-Law is a downright awful movie that you've hopefully never had the displeasure of sitting down to watch. 

Starring Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda as two bickering women caught up in a relentlessly ill-judged motion picture travesty - one that is just plainly bad for the female gender and everything it stands for - Monster-In-Law earned terrible reviews, but also made $146 million at the box office. Which, of course, means that it now has to become a fully-fledged TV show.

The unfortunate souls tasked with developing this thing are Amy B. Harris (The Carrie Diaries) and John Riggi (30 Rock), who sounds like a match made in... somewhere? Nothing much has been reported since this was announced in 2014, but you can safely assume that it's still in development, because life's too cruel for it not to be.

Is It A Good Idea? The movie version was real bad, so what hope does this unnecessary TV version have? Then again, no J-Lo this time around.
