Flatliners To Be Made Into A TV Show - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 02-16-2008, 08:26 PM

Stephen Susco announced during an interview was that he’s developing a TV show based on the 1990 movie “Flatliners.” If you aren’t familiar with the movie, the film was directed by Joel Schumacher and it starred Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin and Oliver Platt. The movie was about a group of medical students that would have their heart stopped on purpose and then get revived after being dead for an extended time. After experiencing death, they would wake up and have very intense visions. And the further they’d go, the more the visions would mess with them. It was a cool movie and one that did well at the box office.

Anyway, during the interview Stephen said he’s developing the movie as a TV show with Michael Douglas and that the goal is to create a 2 hour pilot and then a one hour show. He said they’re still figuring it all out, so no network is known or when it’ll actually get made, just that they’re working on it. But he did say it takes place in the same universe as the movie…so it opens up the possibility for guest spots!

the original movie wasn't that good, plus it's been almost 20 years. The only reason it did as well as it did was because it had Julia Roberts right after Pretty Woman IMO.
