In the footsteps of MTVs successful Teen Wolf, networks have begun circling teen Eighties movies as inspiration for new television series. It was recently revealedthat a show based on Tom Hanks Big was in the works, and now Deadline reportsthat NBC is planninga series that would revisit Cameron Crowes cult romantic comedy Say Anything for the next generation. The Aaron Kaplan-produced series already received a script commitment from NBC with Better Off Teds Justin Adler onboard to write it, but immediate objections from Crowe has reportedly thrown the Say Anything seriesin jeopardy.
Deadline reports that 20th Century Fox TV is legally within their rights to transform their parent companys cinematic property Say Anything into an NBC series without consent, but networks typicallyonly proceed when they have the original filmmakers blessing. A miscommunication between parties left Crowe out of the loop, and when the director and Rolling Stone writer found out about the series that was based on his directorial debut, he loudly shared his thoughts on Twitter.
Regarding the announcement of a Say Anything tv show @JohnCusack, @IoneSkye1 and I have no involvement except in trying to stop it, Crowe tweeted. John Cusack, who starred in the film as Lloyd Dobler, added on Twitter, No end to the exploitation of other peoples sincere efforts in shameless slime.Skye, who portrayed valedictorian Diane Court in the movie, has yet to chime in onthe reboot. Following Crowe and Cusacks public displeasure concerning the new series, Deadline writes that its unlikely the series will get the go-ahead to proceed, despite the blind script deal.
