Deadline is reporting the news that Warner Bros. is readying a new big screen version of The Fugitive, which was both a 1960s television show and 1993 blockbuster thriller.
The outlet reports that Warner Bros. is keen to make the new version soon, but it is unclear as of yet whether the film will act as a reboot to TV show or a sequel to the original film. That said, there is a screenwriter attached to the project in the form of Christina Hodson.
The Fugitive TV show ran on ABC between 1963 and 1967 for 120 episodes. The feature film was released in 1993 and starred Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones, the latter winning an Oscar for his performance before returning in the Ford-less sequel, U.S. Marshals, which also featured Wesley Snipes and Robert Downey Jr.
