Hey, it worked for Charlie's Angels . Series creator Linwood Boomer will produce a Malcolm in the Middle movie for New Regency Productions and 20th Century Fox. Boomer is expected to share writing duties on the project with sitcom veterans Jill Condon and Amy Toomin. I wanted to wait until we finished this season's episodes and until we came up with an idea that we couldn't do on the series. I don't think fans of the TV show will be disappointed.
TV shows hitting the big screen are nothing new, of course.
Fox's X-Files , for example, hit multiplexes with considerable success in 1998, but that was still five years after the series debuted. Of course, Duchovny and Anderson didn't have to contend with puberty, either. No word on whether Holland would helm the big-screen version.
