The movies-to-TV trend continues with Tom Hanks' 1984 comedy, Bachelor Party.
In the last two weeks, we've seen an incredible amount of announcements about networks ordering pilots based on old films, and today marks another. Not content to let Fox hog all the Tom Hanks inspired properties (BIG), ABC has ordered his 1984 comedy, Bachelor Party, to pilot.
Bachelor Party was a raunchy '80s comedy featuring drugs, sex, Tawny Kitaen, and very little else. But Fox has bigger ambitions with its television adaptation. Tapping New Girl writer-producers J.J. Philbin and Josh Malmuth, Fox plans on Bachelor Party being an anthology series, effectively hitting two TV trends with one stone.
Every season will follow a different wedding party, focusing on the drama that ensues from a co-ed bachelor/bachelorette party for each wedding, promising to focus different couples "on one about to get married, another recently divorced and a third just falling in love."
