Switching
As you’ve noticed, old TV shows turn up on the silver screen, but have you noticed a lot of movie producers and directors turn to TV ?
Jerry Bruckheimer of course, made the most notable jump, with some NINE (!!!!) TV shows running CONCURRENTLY this season, while keeping busy being successful in the movie bizz.
The rest:
Martin Campbell (The Mask of Zorro, Vertical Limit) is doing 10-8: Officers on Duty (yeah, though the earlier cop TV shows list was long, I didn’t include all of’m).
Danny DeVito combines his powers with Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black I & II) on Karen Sisco.
Steven Soderbergh (Ocean’s Eleven, and the upcoming Ocean’s Twelve) does K Street.
Russel Mulcahy (Highlander I & II) does Bruckheimer newest, Skin.
Mark Pellington (The Mothman Prophecies, Arlington Road) also helps Bruckheimer a hand on Cold Case.
Phillip Noyce (Sliver, The Saint, Clear and Present Danger) is developing the series premiere of Tru Calling, starring Eliza Dushku.
And of course, I didn’t catch them all, there are some more to be found. Can you ?
