CRASH... the t.v. series? Oh jeez!
CRASH, probably the most insulting and ridiculous film to ever win an Academy Award for Best Picture is to be translated into a t.v. series.
Just don't get me started on another CRASH/Paul Haggis rant. CRASH, probably the most insulting and ridiculous film to ever win an Academy Award for Best Picture is to be translated into a t.v. series. For the love of God, why?
Lionsgate will finance the show (mark of quality right there) which will run on the Starz Network for a 13-episode run, marking the channel's first ever original drama. It's said that none of the major characters from the film are likely to be present though Don Cheadle is said to be on board as director for a few episodes, something which Haggis himself will also do. Haggis and Bobby Moresco, the joint screenwriters of the 2005 film will pen the pilot episode and it's a quick venture back onto the small screen after their crime drama series The Black Donnellys was officially cancelled after one season. Kevin Beggs, the president of programming and production for Lionsgate told Variety their plan for the show...Well use the style of storytelling from the movie, he said, but therell be new characters and new stories to get into the subjects of race and class, and the bigotry thats simmering under the skin of a city like Los Angeles.Oh, wow. Same old shit then. Can't wait for this.
