With The Simpsons Movie opening in just over a week, what over television shows could work as films. I don't mean films such as Scooby Doo, The Flintstones or Charlie's Angels but rather films such as South Park: BLAU, the Star Trek films and The X Files.

Mine are:
Futurama
Family Guy
CSI Franchise
24
Stargate SG1 and Atlantis
Monk

    The A team,often discussed over a pint with my mates.we have come up with this:

    hannibal-george clooney
    murdock-johny knocksville
    face-colin farrell
    BA-ving rhimms(sp?)

    Starts in afganistan,hannible,face and BA are part of a special forces team sent in to rescue some captured VIP/Officers in a large cave system.when they get there they fight it out with the baddies and free the hostages.A second special forces team arrive with some other CIA types and search the caves finding a large amount of gold or nukes.The second team shoot the hostages and fight it out with hannibal,face,BA killing the rest off the team.The team escape and head back to their base only to find they have been framed by the CIA/others special forces team.

    The guys are put in trucks headed for a flight back to the states but the bad guys plan to ambush the trucks and kill off the team disguised as locals.just as it looks like they are going to die A helicopter swoops in picks up the boys.murdock take the team off and the rest of the movie is split between the states and tracking the other team down to iraq/afganistan ect.

    ;)

    Change the cast to:

    Hannibal: George Clooney
    Murdock : Giovanni Ribisi
    Face : Brad Pitt
    BA: Vin Diesel

    Xena: Warrior Princess, of course!

    And they'd better do it quick before Lucy and Renee are too old to pull it off. As it were.

    Regards

    Doctor Who

    Already done. An RTD movie would have to cut out the zeitgeist gags to have staying power though I reckon.

    Sapphire and Steel
    Dead Like Me
    Heroes
    Buffy (but better than the original movie)
    Futurama

    The A Team was pants. Get over it!

    Have you ever seen the A Team? It's very rare that anyone dies or gets shot - it was light hearted (and light brained) teatime telly. Any film would have a PG rating for sure and probably have its tongue firmly in cheek.

    The Fans of the Ateam back in the 80s are now 30+ so I think the film could have a bit more of an edge to it than a show that was on at saturday tea time!:rolleyes:

    any remake of an old tv show would have to be changed to please todays audiances(SP?)
