Irwin Winkler has revealed that he is developing a new TV series based on his 1995 film The Net.
Variety reports that the producer is working with Sony to adapt the Sandra Bullock movie for television.
"We thought it would make a great TV series," explained Winkler. "A lot of people said it was ahead of its time anyhow."
A previous TV adaptation in 1998 starred Brooke Langton, and featured guest appearances from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Heroes star Jack Coleman.
The new version will be adapted by John Brancato and Michael Ferris, who wrote the screenplay for the original film.
Winkler, who also produced Rocky and Raging Bull, added that he is considering adapting more of his past projects for television.
