Ghost to be adapted for TV series
PATRICK SWAYZE's 1990 film GHOST is heading to the small screen for a new TV adaptation.
The hit film, which starred Swayze as a ghost trying to avenge his death and protect his fiancee, played by Demi Moore, grossed more than £333,000 worldwide, scored Academy Awards for co-star Whoopi Goldberg and screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin, and was even adapted into a Broadway musical.
And now bosses at Paramount Television have recruited TV producers Jeff Pinkner and Akiva Goldsman to co-write a pilot for a planned TV adaptation.
Pinkner and Goldsman previously worked together on cult sci-fi series Fringe.
