There is a long history of movies that hit the silver screen diving into television sets in the forms of TV shows. Some were met with big success and durability, however the majority of them were virtual train wrecks. On the surface it appears like a logically brilliant concept: take a film that audiences loved and extend it into a more absorbable, bite-sized version that they could view weekly from the comfort of their homes. However rollovering the success of a film into the television realm appears to include a tricky and delicate science that nobody appears to understand the solutions to. A television series adaptation of the Blade trilogy and the recent news of a live-action Star Wars tv series coming to life near the end of this years beg us to ask whether or not either will be successful. Naturally, success in this sense can be interpreted in a range of methods. Does it depend only on the quality of the show? Most likely not, given that there have actually been movie-to-television cross-overs that were seriously well-known however were only offered a couple of months to run. Does it depend entirely on the popularity of the show? Not as much as one would think. So what does success in this genre depend upon? Lets have a look at some TELEVISION shows that were initially movies that ran for long periods of time, and then some that burnt out quickly to see if there is a noticeable pattern. Distance Runners -- M * A * S * H *: Many people forget that M * A * S * H * was originally a film (1970) that was satisfied with approval in the theaters. It made its way onto tv screens in 1972 and ran all the method to 1983. -- Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The film was released in 1992 and was consulted with extremely blended outcomes. Somehow the program managed to run for 7 solid years (1997-2003) as a television series with a substantial fan base. -- Stargate SG-1: Stargate was a movie released in 1994. It was met blended reactions, however the show fared better, ranging from 1997 all the method till now. -- Highlander: The film variation hit theaters in 1986. Audience response was decent, however the TV series that was launched in 1992 found a faithful following. It ran up until 1998. -- La Femme Nikita: Nikita was a film directed by Luc Besson that was launched in 1990 and got excellent actions from audiences. The television series had a strong following and ran on TELEVISION from 1997 to 2001. Short-Distance Losers -- My Big Fat Greek Life: Though motion picture studios undervalued My Big Fat Greek Wedding events possibilities for success on the cinema, CBS overestimated its chances for similar accomplishment as a tv series. This big fat catastrophe ran for seven episodes in 2003.
-- Clueless: In 1995, Clueless succeeded in movie theaters as a comedy-romance. Nevertheless, when the film ended up being a TV show in 1996 it was nothing more than a vain, agonizing, and lame tv experience. The program somehow managed to remain on air up until 1999. -- Ferris Bueller: Ferris Buellers Day Of Rest was a big hit in 1986, but the TV series just lasted one miserable season in 1990. Ferris has had a lot of days off since then. -- World of the Go to this site Apes: The Charlton Heston-infused movie did well in the theaters in 1968, but for some reason the TV variation just lasted one season in 1974. -- Uncle Dollar: Was the movie actually that fantastic in 1989? It was just a standard funny that tried to teach children the concept of appreciating your family. So was the TELEVISION series in 1990 really essential? One season tells us no. There are countless other movie-to-TV reveals that only lasted a few months, if that. Harmful Minds, Quick Times, and Being a parent are just three of many, many failures in this genre. The odds protest the future Blade television series and George Lucas live-action Star Wars TV program. Though Blade does not truly seem to be anything unique, it will be interesting to see whether the vampires and monsters that carried the film trilogy will have the ability to do the exact same on television screens. Star Wars does have a remarkably huge and loyal fan base, the similarity which no movie-to-TV series has had the high-end of having, and could be the tipping point for the shows possible longevity and success. But in no chance will this ensure the victory of the adjustment. Neither will high caliber stories or acting. It seems that tv audiences and studios are infinitely more unpredictable than their motion picture counterparts, so all the best to both the creators of Blade and Star Wars Lucas, both of whom will be at the total grace of aspects that are essentially unknown.
