'Partridge Family' Film Planned
JAM! Movies ^ | 5.6.2004

Posted on 05/06/2004 6:37:27 PM PDT by NYC GOP Chick

Another classic '70s TV show could be coming to movie screens in the near future.

Following the successful big screen updates of "Starsky & Hutch" and "Charlie's Angels," Paramount Pictures has bought the feature film rights to the hit series "The Partridge Family," The Hollywood Reporter says.

Producer Billy Gerber told The Hollywood Reporter he plans to make a "mainstream family movie in the vein of 'School of Rock.'"

"The Partridge Family" series followed the comical experiences of a family of musicians.

Paramount is also developing a big-screen adaptation of the popular show "21 Jump Street," which starred Johnny Depp.

What do you want to bet that someone will offer Britney Spears a part?

I always did like Susan Dey. Wonder who will play her part?

In my book, Shirley Partridge was the hottest TV mom of them all. .....although those pantsuits were horrific.

When will the horror end? How much more of this will we stand for? This is exactly why the Iz-slimes hate us. It's all Danny Bonaduce's fault.

What's next? "Sanford and Son", starring Morgan Freeman as Fred, and Charles Rangel as Lamont.

From "porn" to the "partridge family" in the same day?

"Mannix" will be the next remake.
Al Gore and Al Franken are vying for the plum role of Joe Mannix.

Hollywood has no original ideas anymore. Everything's either a sequel or a remake of a TV show or old movie.

I just turned the TV on ..Friends is over...Ross an Joey are enlisting in the Marines to fight the ear on Terror, because they've realized their lives are shallow and meaningless..

I've never watched even part of an episode of that show, so I have no idea whatsoever if you're serious or not.
