I don’t know if it would have been THAT easy, especially if the Larson series had done really well. Wouldn’t movie-goers go into the movie expecting to see characters from the new series and start saying, “Who the heck are THESE guys? Dirk who?”?

Question: Has something like this ever been done before? That is, you have a successful TV series that you convert to the big screen only the movie is set 25 years beyond the TV series and uses different characters like you’re proposing. Usually there seems to be at least a decade separating the two so there’s not so much of a shock for the audience.
