![]() As for the notion of “no new ideas in Hollywood,” Davis says, “I think it really is just a coincidence this year that we tapped into two movies and a documentary. “Limitless” is a continuation of the original movie, while “Rush Hour” is a complete reboot of the film franchise. The approach to continuing those stories can vary series to series. “We lift that time constraint off and you can open up that universe and let the stories and that brand expand.” “Limitless,” “Rush Hour” and “Code Black” all have the film’s original creative teams attached to the series, which Davis says speaks to the quality - and storytelling possibilities - of TV revivals. “A movie can have a great hook and a great premise and great characters, but you have to be able to take the title off and it still has to exist as a great TV show.”ĬBS is also adapting Bradley Cooper’s 2011 thriller “ Limitless,” and not only is the Oscar-nominated actor an exec producer on the show, he also plans to recur (although in exactly how many episodes is still TBD).Īnd while it’s not based on a narrative feature, medical drama “ Code Black” is adapted from Ryan McGarry’s 2014 documentary of the same name. It’s more about what’s inside - the beating heart of the show,” she says. “ Rush Hour,” based on the late ’90s action comedy, starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, has cast newbies Jon Foo and Justin Hires as the rebooted dynamic duo. “I get to do action, comedy and drama all in one show - that’s already an established franchise,” Hires says about his excitement to tackle a project that’s found success in another format.Ĭhristina Davis, CBS’ executive VP of drama series development, says while fans have an affinity for a huge franchise like “Rush Hour,” which should boost the show’s early buzz, the series needs to stand on its own. ![]()
