Lions Gate gets 'Crash' course in TV
After a detour to the big screen, Paul Haggis' "Crash" is about to reach its original destination: television. FX has put in development a TV series based on Lions Gate Films' hit indie to be produced by Lions Gate Television. Don Cheadle, one of the stars of the gritty drama about race relations in post-Sept. 11 Los Angeles, is likely to appear in and direct several episodes of the project if it goes into series. Sources said talks are under way with all other members of the cast, including Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser and rapper Ludacris, to reprise their roles from the film. Bobby Moresco, who co-penned the script for "Crash" with Haggis, is in negotiations with Lions Gate TV to write the pilot script, sources said.

Woah!! Are ya kiddin' me? Best news I've heard all day!
Loved the movie, and was thinking how nice it'd be if it had hit a bigger audience. TV gives it that chance. Would HAVE to be a cable channel tho..so that lowers the audience a bit, but still.. GREAT news!
Will be looking for more details on this one.
