The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai (TV show)

[6souls]

Developed by Kevin Smith

Smith says that his pitch was that the first season of this show would be an adaptation of the original movie (which starred Peter Weller as a neurosurgeon/physicist/rock star/race car driver), with subsequent seasons covering Buckaroo Banzai Against The World Crime League, a nonexistent sequel teased in the original film’s credits. That and whatever other details he threw in for the adaptation were evidently good enough for MGM, because Smith says that he and the studio are going to “take it out and try to find a home for it” next month.

I do have hopes for this.

Kevin Smith...? Eh....

Keep in mind, this would be a series for him, not a film or single episode gig.
He would have a team of additional writers, and probably direct only a handful personally (alternately, he might just showrun and full time direct, but that's doubtful*), and if act at all, be only a Blue Blaze Irregular.


*Single director shows are a rarity, the only examples I can find are HIMYM, S1 of True Detective, and The Knick (and Soderbergh doesn't really count, motherfucker's like Eiichiro Oda, human outlier.)
