Hmm...so there are talks of adapting the Adam Sandler/Jack Nicholson movie Anger Management into a TV show. And, furthermore, director Joe Roth wants Charlie Sheen to star...
There's a reason that moviemaker Joe Roth doesn't produce much TV. Because he comes up with terrible ideas like casting Charlie Sheen in a sitcom version of Anger Management. His plan is to join with Lionsgate TV for a small-tube series based on the 2003 big-screen feature that was one of the few non-stinkers from his Revolution Studios. Now this is a long way from seeing daylight. But, seriously, which showrunner would be so desperate as to work with whack job Sheen? Much less any actor who's currently embroiled in both a lawsuit and arbitration against the producer and studio who fired him off his last sitcom? I want names...
Thanks to Deadline for the scoop.
