NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Why oh bloody why would anyone want to ruin an absolute classic like Shaun of the Dead (one of my favourite movies of all time) by turning it into a t.v. series? OK so a show won't ruin the film, but if it's crap it'll devalue the original source material I'm sure...
Sources revealed that last week NBC Universal International and Working Title announced they were moving into TV production with new joint venture Working Title Television. One of the aims is to make TV adaptations of Working Title's library of more than 90 theatrical releases, which includes the Bridget Jones movies, Billy Elliot and Nanny McPhee, along with Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill and Shaun of the Dead.
These TV adaptations would initially be aimed at American audiences, but with the potential to be exported, or remade in a range of countries.
I can see this going horribly wrong. But I could actually see this as an animated t.v. show, voiced by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and working really well. Strange but true...
"Cock it..."
