Fantasy Island
Like a lot of these other projects, Fantasy Island should have a similar plot to the original, but there will be a twist. Instead of a Mr. Roarke, the island will be run by a woman.

In the Line of Fire
A TV version of the original 1993 flick, In The Line of Fire would follow a Secret Service agent who gets the chance to save the President; but because of the long network TV format, it’s expected that there would be plenty of case-of-the-week antics, as well.

Taken
The Taken adaptation is a prequel series. It'll focus on lead character Bryan Mills as a young man before getting married or having kids. Instead of worrying about his family, he'll spend each episode acquiring his necessary set of skills under the watchful eye of producer Luc Besson who put together the first movie.

Amazing Stories
NBC has a bunch of these projects in the works, and some of them are more incredible than others. The Amazing Stories revival has prolific showrunner Bryan Fuller. He is writing and will executive produce the weekly anthology series, which will presumably mimic the original.

Training Day
The specifics are still a little murky when it comes to the Training Day reboot, but the finished product would reportedly focus on the relationship between two cops in Los Angeles in 2015. Once again, one of them will be black and one of them will be white, though in a switcheroo, the older one this time will apparently be white. Fortunately, original director Antoine Fuqua is involved here and is overseeing the larger product.
What Stage Of Development Is It In? Writer Will Beale has been hired by Fuqua to pen a script. That was about two months ago; so, it may be finished at this point.
What Network Or Streaming Service? No one is attached, though the major networks are supposedly ready to listen
Married With Children
The long rumored, much discussed Married With Children spinoff would follow David Faustino’s character Bud Bundy. All of the original cast members have committed to appearing in some form, though since they are all very busy working actors, it’s likely that would be more of an every now and again thing.
What Stage Of Development Is It In? As far as we know, it’s all just excited talk at this point.
What Network Or Streaming Service? No network is attached, though Netflix probably makes the most sense or perhaps FOX, given its long history with the original
Urban Cowboy
Called a “modern reimagining”, it’s being put together by Hustle & Flow’s Craig Brewer. He was somehow able to make the Footloose remake pretty good; so, don’t count out Urban Cowboy and its love-hate romance themes that are shrouded in country music.

Time Bandits
The new incarnation of Time Bandits has almost no details. It was just casually mentioned by beloved director Terry Gilliam, who claimed he’s working on it. Naturally, fans got really fired up really quickly about the possibility.

Island of Doctor Moreau
This one is from the creative team behind Sleepy Hollow. It’s technically called Moreau. It’ll follow a disgraced female scientist who moves to an island and opens up a private hospital for her experiments, which may or may not be monsters.

The Talented Mr. Ripley
We know the new adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley is being shopped around Hollywood in an effort to find a suitable star and writer combination, but what we don't know is exactly what the adaptation will focus on. Ripley is actually a series of novels, which take him in various directions. In fact, the potential series may even just focus on the character himself and not incorporate any of the scheming adventures he had in the novels.
