"Ghost" to be turned into a TV series

[Fuji Vice]

Paramount is developing a Ghost TV show — as in the movie Ghost — with a pilot co-written by Akiva Goldsman and Jeff Pinker, the studio announced today. There's no info yet on a timeline for when this show would air, but those are some big guns working on the pilot: Goldsman won an Oscar for his screenplay for A Beautiful Mind, Pinker has been a writer and producer on Alias and Lost, among other things, and the two previously collaborated on Fringe. [CUT TO: a jar with a penny in it, and the sad, sad lady idly rolling it back and forth before she pushes it down the modern, stark staircase.]

Seems like the sort of fluff that does well on network television these days.

Oh damn. I wonder if they're gonna get Patrick Swayze to play one of the major parts like in the movie!

He would be a great ghost.

The real life ghost in "Ghost." It'll be such a scream.
