Matt C 452 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Spielberg will indeed cannibalize one of his own films for a TV series, via his Amblin Television unit. Godzilla writer Max Borenstein will develop the series, which is expected to land a name actor in the lead and follow the adventures of the PreCog unit through his or her eyes.SourceNo telling whether it'll be in continuity with the feature film or not.

Sweeping Strings 2,342 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Mmm ... granted, Fargo has worked well. But I usually find a spin-off TV show happening long after any 'heat' the movie may have generated (1997's Pacino-and- Reeves-starring The Devil's Advocate is been developed as a show, for reasons I'm sure make sense to someone somewhere) fairly baffling.

So where's the suspense?Show might drop us into the program's (Type I/II error-plagued) early stages, long before the murder rate ever drops to zero. As a procedural, likely to be more "howshecatchem" (à la Columbo) than "whodunnit." Lots of ongoing political and domestic drama, too, I'm sure.

Uni 306 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 That's a better premise than I would've thought. They can't bring back the film's premise with any kind of credibility . . . but this is a competent (and pretty interesting!) evolution. I'd love to see them bring back Agatha, even if only for occasional guest spots.Speaking of credibility issues, though: I just watched the movie again this week (total coincidence). I've seen it a dozen times if I've seen it once, but this was the first time the major plot hole—or, at the very least, the big gap in the plot arising from the fact that they never explain this—reared its head at me. How exactly were they planning to take Precrime national? I mean, I doubt the three precogs could just expand the radius of their "scanning" to cover the rest of the country. They would need others. Lots of others (in the thousands, at least). Where are they? If the nationwide program planning is on such a short timetable, the other precogs must surely already be around during the events of this movie. What are they doing? Are they seeing murders too? If so, is anyone doing anything about the events they're seeing? Do they have to just ignore it because it hasn't received official approval yet?Maybe they mentioned something during the course of the film on this, but I've never caught it. Suddenly the Precrime program seems to have collapsed for an entirely different reason. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The filmmaker, who had been involved in the development of the futuristic drama, recently watched the pilot, directed by Mark Mylod and, impressed by what he saw, opted for an executive producer credit on the project, something that he is entitled to on all Amblin TV projects but rarely goes for.
