The hit movie about the complexities of racial tolerance became a sensation in 2005. It won several Oscars including the one for Best Picture of the year. The cast was first-class, Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser, Ryan Philippe, Thandie Newton, rapper Ludacris, and Don Cheadle who was also one of the producers. Now it is set to appear as TV series for Starz network, the pay cable channel. The 13-episode one hour series will be aired as its first drama series. Several members of the crew that worked on the movie will be back for the series. Paul Haggis, the film's director, co-writer and producer, will return as an executive producer along with Don Cheadle. Co-writer and producer Bobby Moresco, producer Bob Yari, producer Mark R. Harrisa and executive producer Tom Nunan of the original 'Crash' will participate as well. The cast is not known yet. It is rumored though that Don Cheadle might reprise his role as police detective and eventually also persuade the other actors from the film to join the series. Starz programming executive Stephen Shelanski said the producers are reluctant to bring back the movie characters unless the same actors are to appear in the roles. The production of the series is scheduled to begin this spring.
