"Green Acres" Feature Film and Broadway Play in the Works
Green Acres Moving From Hooterville to Hollywood: Feature Film, Broadway Play in the Works by ANITA BUSCH
May 2, 2014
"Green Acres", the popular 1960s sitcom that starred Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor as displaced New Yorkers who try to make a go of it on a farm in the Midwest, is being made into a feature film and is being developed and shopped as a stage play for Broadway.
The rights to the property were acquired by director Richard L. Bare, who was one of the most prolific helmers on the original series, and by producer Phillip Goldfine through his production company Hollywood Media Bridge.
The filmmakers are actively looking to hire a writer/director for a feature adaptation. Goldfine won an Oscar this year for the documentary short, The Lady in No. 6.
