Well since they're making 24 into a movie, why not make Goodfellas into a TV series.
http://www.imdb.com/news/ni20852439/...e---Exclusive: AMC’s 1960s Mad Men may be soon joined by some Goodfellas from the same era. The cable network, home of such acclaimed series as Mad Men and Breaking Bad, has put in development a series version of one of the most praised movies of all time, the 1990 Martin Scorsese mob classic Goodfellas. Nicholas Pileggi, who wrote the movie based on his non-fiction book Wiseguy, is on board to co-write the TV series adaptation with TV writer-producer Jorge Zamacona (Homicide: Life On The Street). The two will executive produce with the film’s producer Irwin Winkler and his son David. Warner Horizon Television, the cable TV production sibling of Warner Bros, which distributed Scorsese’s film, is producing the series. The idea of turning Goodfellas into a series with Pileggi and Irwin Winkler on board has been percolating for a while.---End Quote---Same author, screewriter and on AMC (who has not yet disappointed me with their original series), I'm willing to give it a shot and really looking forward to it. :cheesygri
