New Big Valley

[Mark G]

For 2011, a movie version of the sixties TV series, The Big Valley. What's next... a movie version of the Banana Splits?

I love the casting line-up:


Lawrence Turner..........................Drunkard

Really, Hollywood? You can't come up with ANY good, original ideas? Sheesh. Enough already!

Well that is one I certainly would not have predicted. I wonder how many people today even remember the original series? I really enjoyed the series back in the day, but can't imagine it with another cast. glad to see that Lee majors has a role in this one though.

I am surprised that they are not talking about a big screen remake of Bonanza yet! Or Gunsmoke!

Yeah, that's my take as well. I loved the series, but honestly, why bother? The people who liked the original will hate it and the people it's targeted for will care less.

I think a movie length version of Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp would be great!

I will watch it. Loved it as a kid. I just hope it will be good.
I would also love a serious re-work of Gunsmoke.
