1990's film Ghost getting TV Adaptation for Paramount TV

12 Nov 2013

Share on Reddit
This marks the first project to come out of Paramount‘s re-launched television division and signals its plans to mine the studio’s movie library and team with experienced film and TV writers for series adaptations. Oscar winner Akiva Goldsman and veteran showrunner Jeff Pinkner will co-write a pilot script based on the hit 1990 film Ghost, which won Oscars for best original screenplay (Bruce Joel Rubin) and supporting actress (Whoopi Goldberg). (Watch the “Unchained Melody” music video for the paranormal thriller/tearjerker below). Directed by Jerry Zucker, Ghost follows the recently deceased Sam Wheat (Swayze), who teams up with a psychic (Goldberg) in an effort to reconnect with his fiancee (Demi Moore) and avenge his murder. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Akiva and Jeff, two deeply creative and accomplished talents, on the television adaptation of this classic supernatural drama,” said Paramount TV president Amy Powell.

    I think Hollywood has run out of ideas. remaking tv shows, adapting movies for tv.


    if networks are that hard up, why not give current tv shows more of a chance to be successful instead of canceling them before people have had a chance to see them!

    I thought Jeff Pinkner was working on something else? I'm not really interested in this.

    How silly. It was a good movie. Would make a miserable TV series.

    What the hell!!! Enough with the reimagining, reboots and remakes. Come up with something original.

    They're more concerned with ratings. If original work isn't up to par, but remakes are, then that's what they'll go with. It's up to viewers to support original shows.
