Yet another BBC series is being adapted to American audiences. Only this time, it sounds like it's going to be a movie.Universal Pictures will be adapting the 1999 BBC series Second Sight which launched the career of Clive Owen. It will be produced by Angry Film's Don Murphy and Susan Montford. The story is about a homicide detective named Ross Tanner who suffers from a degenerative eye illness that leads to blindness and hallucinations. As a result, he must rely more on his intuition to solve crimes.
There have certainly been any number of American adaptations of British shows over time. Some are good and some are utter crap. Second Sight does sound like a good premise (I've never seen the show), but I think the movie would have more credentials if they made sure to involve members of the original crew. I wonder if they'll get Clive Owen to reprise his role?
Since it looks like 
Christian Slater is coming back to weekly television.
Apparently, New York was (is?)
experiencing some peculiar weather on these first few days of Spring. "If you see the groundhog today, y'punch him
in the face for me," Jon ordered. That Punxsutawney Phil is a lying bastard. Jon then did a few jokes to reference
something that happened during the pre-show warm-up. An audience member brought Jon some wine as a gift, but it left
Jon concerned. "Should wine be carbonated?" Well, it doesn't really matter... If it has a fancy name, drink
it.
