TV Movie into Feature Film
In 1979, TPTB looked at the the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century pilot and said: "Hey this is pretty good, why don't we release this as a feature?"
And they did, paying for their production costs and making a nice profit at the same time.
Well riddle me this my batttling Battlestar Buddies.
Why couldn't TPTB of this year, say give a certain film producer about $25m to make a continuation TVM through the auspices of their TV arm and then release it in your local mutiplex?
Just a thought.
