Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana star in 'The Time Traveler's Wife' New Line CinemaAccess Hollywood
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams made crowds weep in the big screen adaptation of the popular novel "The Time Traveler's Wife," and the tissue could continue to pile up if the romantic sci-fi drama comes to the small screen.
According to The Wrap.com, ABC, "Friends" creator Marta Kauffman and Warner Bros. Television are planning to bring the time-traveling romance story to TV as a weekly series.

ABC's interest in working with Kauffman to adapt the novel for TV predates the movie by "years," according to Hollywood insiders.
The "Friends" creator will reportedly write and executive produce the planned drama, for which ABC has reportedly ordered a pilot.

While a TV version may be on the way, it's the big screen adaptation that has viewers heading to theaters -- the movie made $18.6 million in its opening weekend. There is no word yet if Brad Pitt's Plan B, which produced the film, or New Line will be involved in the series.

AnonThis is not a bad idea if done right. The novel was so good, I knew the movie couldn't measure up, and i was right. However, if they hire actors that fit more with the description of the characters in the book and explain the time-travel properly, then it might work.report abuseposted August 19, 2009 1:44 PM PDT
