The Buckaroo Banzai series may have found a network. Deadline reports Amazon is nearing a deal with creator Kevin Smith for the show.
The series is based on the 1984 sci-fi comedy The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, which starred Peter Weller as the titular scientist, pilot, and rock musician trying to save the world from aliens.
Amazon has not confirmed the deal yet, but reports state the series could premiere as soon as next year.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the movie? Would you watch the series?
It was a fantastic film that never really got its due. The cast was phenomenal, and the writing genius. The budgetary limitation made the special effects very silly and dated, but still, absolutely fun.
