ITV is to turn Pride and Prejudice into a time-travel saga. The broadcaster wants to emulate the success of the BBC One series Life on Mars, in which a detective is catapulted back in time, and build on the triumph of a run of Jane Austen adaptations, featuring stars such as Billie Piper.
In Lost in Austen, Amanda, a chardonnay-swigging West London girl, discovers a bonnet-wearing woman in her bathroom who introduces herself as Elizabeth Bennet. Through a series of accidents, Amanda is transported to Regency England, where she melts before Mr Darcy’s brooding glare. Miss Bennet, meanwhile, breathes life into the modern girl’s useless boyfriend.
'Bones' is an American TV show starring Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz.
(I don't watch it)
But I do know that it is based on the novels of Kathy Reichs.
So if the show is based on these novels, then can someone tell me why another author (Max Allan Collins) is writing a new novel based on the show?
I mean, can't people just go an read the original novels by Kathy Reichs?
It just seems really, really ridiculous to me.
