Source Code to Be Adapted for TV at CBS

News, Projects

Source Code got stellar reviews from us here at Inside Pulse (which you can view here, here and here) and now it seems the film is coming to the small screen. How?

As a television series.

Mark Gordon is bringing his feature film Source Code to the small screen to CBS with a meaningful penalty per the Hollywood Reporter.

Like the film, the series will be an action/police procedural following three former federal agents who are part of a top-secret program. Each week, they’ll use “Source Code” technology to jump into the consciousness of people involved in tragic events.

What does this mean? If Quantum Leap showed us anything, it was that you could take a really interesting concept like leaping into someone else’s body and influencing events. Source Code had a similar concept that could make for a great television series, too, and it’s not all that surprising to see it turned into a television series.

What do you think? Good idea, bad idea? Let us know below.
