I have to agree with this. It seems like TV show based movies have to be parodies of the TV show and make fun of it. I could see them casting Leslie Neilsen as Hannibal and turn it into a slapstick comedy, making sure to make fun of the fact that everyone is blasting away with a machine gun, but noone ever gets shot. One of the few remakes they did that was done seriously was the Mission Impossible series. If they insist on doing this, please don't make it a cheesy parody.

The Brady Bunch movie was good, however it set a bad precedent of turning remakes into comedies, with the exception of Miami Vice. I realize the show was very light to begin with, but the last thing we need is Ben Stiller as Face or Will Farell as Murdoch.

Actually, I think Neilsen would have been ideal for Hannibal about 10 years ago, played straight (well, with a little comedy).
