It seems more and more apparent that television can’t think of anything new. They just keep digging into films and remakes for new shows. Oh, wait. That may be everyone.
Deadline reported on Tuesday that the late Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski’s limited series, The Decalogue is set to get the remake treatment at NBC. The 1989 original Dekalog, which Kieslowski co-wrote with his writing partner Kyzysztof Piesiewicz, was set in Poland and consisted of 10 one-hour films, each inspired by one of the Ten Commandments and each directed by Kieslowski.
The updated version will be set in Boston and will similarly explore the moral and ethical issues that are central to the Ten Commandments. It is being written by Todd Ellis Kessler (The Good Wife).
The Good Wife has produced award-worthy television so that brings hope for this remake, but it will be interesting to see how far NBC will...

In a career of masterful works, Krzysztof Kieslowski's "The Decalogue" might even outshine the "Three Colors" trilogy and "The Double Life Of Veronique." Released in 1989, picking up a slate of awards, massive critical accolades, and more, it was only on home video that the series of ten one-hour films — each based on the Ten Commandments and set around an apartment complex — found their way to cinephiles. To say it made an impact is an understatement, and to try and capture the power of the entire project in a few mere sentences is an even more impossible task. But if you haven't seen it, here's your chance. We've dug up all ten episodes of the series with English subtitles for you to check out below, along with Roger Ebert's terrific review from "Ebert & Roeper" circa the film's DVD release. As for the remake, Deadline reveals it will be an NBC event series,...

After the success of The Walking Dead, did you think AMC was done investing in genre television? As Breaking Bad and Mad Men are nearing their end, AMC is looking to create their next big TV property by teaming up with The Walking Dead executive producer Gale Anne Hurd for Area 51.
The project is based on Annie Jacobsen’s Area 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base and, according to THR, “will take place in the 1950s-1960s and will focus on those who work at the base and protect the country’s secrets — including the remains of the alleged alien crash at Roswell.”
Todd Ellis Kessler (The Practice, The Unit) is also on board as an executive producer and will be handling writing duties. This project is in the very early development stages, so don’t expect too much new information until late this year or early next year.
