What if we narrow this down to shows that were on HBO? That's easy, right? It has to be Deadwood. Except that it's not.

Bruno Heller, who is now working on one of this season's only true hits, The Mentalist, isn't quite over his former series, Rome. No, really, he has a mega-hit on CBS, and he's still attached to Rome. He says, in fact, that there are talks about making the movie, and that said talks are "moving along." His logic for wanting to make the movie? "I would love to round that show off."

That's all well and good, Bruno. I am sure you're thinking of the fans, but... wait, there were no fans. And, also, we all know how it ends. Remember? This is a show about actual historical events.

The sets were destroyed, and so many of the actors have moved on to other TV projects that it might be difficult getting them all back for a film version. And it might be even harder to sell a movie based on a low-rated, genre TV show as a big draw at the box office. Then again, if they steer clear of the "based on the TV show" angle, they can possibly draw on the Gladiator and 300 fans, which might make it the most successful TV-to-movie in history. (But if making this happen means Kevin McKidd has to leave Grey's I will boycott on principle. Because Major Owen Hunt has single-handedly reinvigorated my interest in an otherwise boring medical drama this season.)
