Nearly everyone on Earth has seen at least one episode of a Stephen J. Cannell TV show. Whether you grew up in the 70’s with The Rockford Files and Baretta or the 80’s with 21 Jump Street, The A-Team and The Greatest American Hero. But since the mid-90’s Cannell has just been writing novels and producing low budget films. His latest picture is one of his few horror projects. It is called Demon Hunter and it was just released by Anchor Bay Entertainment.

Demon Hunter stars Sean Patrick Flanery as...

You know what I'd like to see? A movie based off of a TV show that wasn't a caricature of the source material. I have to give Miami Vice that (though I think it'll still suck... anyone watch The Island? Thanks Mann).

I'm all for The A-Team!! I love it when a plan comes together.


But I have to know, isn't Cannell the guy who was shown at the end of the show typing on his typewriter, rips the page from the machine, the video becoming animation, the page falls to a stack of others and makes a "C" or something? That's iconic... like UBU and the MTM cat that is deep voiced at the end of Newhart

I've always been a fan of Cannell's work though never knew he did 21 Jump Street (yes, I was one of four people who didn't watch it). I didn't know he was still working... most of the people from the '80s aren't.

Oh blush It doesn't really matter, don't care much for Colin Farrell so it will still suck (at least it isn't Will Farrell)

You talked to Perry King? I was wondering what happened to that guy. The Wanderers is one of my all time favorites.

I might haveta rent the movie, it sounds like something I'd like.

I do sorta wonder about the whole "make movies out of tv shows" thing tho - ya mean there aren't enough old movies and comic books out there to make new movies out of that you haveta make a movie out of a TV show? tongue
