I’ll start with “Outland”. It’s about a crotchety Sheriff/Marshall investigating crimes on a mining colony on one of Jupiter’s moons, and the sidekick doctor that helps him solve them. The original film had a very “Alien” universe feel.
Pitch meeting: True Detctive meets Alien. Each season = one mystery.
Jumper was a cool idea/movie that could easily be made a TV series
Unfortunately I think they did, a miniseries about the Jumper’s daughter, I think loosely based on the third book.
Galaxy Quest would be kinda meta.
The movie was lighting in a bottle. I don’t see any way to make it work as a series.
The Orville is great!
Dredd, the Karl Urban version
I just rewatched this movie. Outland would make a great TVshow!
Given the relative dystopia we find ourselves in, I honestly think a TV adaptation of The Running Man might be quite fitting? Something of a cross between Ninja Warrior, Gladiators and Squid Game.
Given the current US administration, there’s an equal chance of it being fictional or an actual live-action game show featuring migrant ‘runners’ and masked ICE agent ‘stalkers’.
we’re gonna get a film version of the long walk :D
walk or die lol. thought about that all the time during basic training
The new Karate Kid movie would make a great TV series haha jk.
But seriously, with Jackie Chan!

Do it.
Thought of another one. There’s an old movie from the 80s starring William Hurt called “Gorky Park”. It’s about Soviet-era investigator. I would watch a series about this guy solving crimes and conspiracies in the old Soviet Union. I think it’s based off a novel. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a good movie.
It’s funny and sad how ‘Alien’ has become a euphemism for ‘working class’ because that’s one of the thematic similarities they share and probably what you’re referring to.
Pretty sure it hasn’t.
