'Crash' set for TV treatment
The Oscar-winning flick will soon be hitting a small screen near you.
Apr 6 2006
Oscar-winner 'Crash' is set to hit the small screen next year in the shape of a high-profile mini-series, which is great news if you're a fan of the film, and not so good if, like me, you think it was a heavy-handed, clumsy and condescending two hours of Hollywood bullshit.
It won the Best Picture Academy Award in May however, and producer Cathy Shulman says that several of the 'Crash' stars are set to appear in the series.
'The actors from the film will show up' she told IMDB. 'Don Cheadle is a producer and will also be on at least a few episodes. We'll see about everyone else'.
I'll bring you more news on this one as and when it breaks, although as you've probably guessed, this is one show I won't be tuning in to!

Can't believe what you call Hollywood bullshit. This film rose from obscurity in the alternative cinema scene to take best film and best screenplay awards. The screenplay was nothing short of brilliant. It masterfully wove together into one fabric the lives of L.A. citizens from different socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds. The film's principal messages - that there is some good in the worst of us, and some bad in the best of us and that we are all racists to a degree - was delivered with punch.
