Usually we see television shows get adapted for the big screen, and not the other way around. That's why all our favorite cartoons from childhood are the big summer blockbusters starring Shia Labeouf. That's why X-Files had another film, ten years too late. But someone at ABC just said "eff it, let's buy the rights to that awful J-Lo film…..no, the other one…..no, not that one either," and now 2002's Maid in Manhattan, (which keeps slipping out as Maid of Honor, which was a completely different film but would have been a better title for the Lopez vehicle, honestly) is going to be an ABC series!
The film's writer, Chad Hodge, will also co-write the pilot for ABC, and admits feeling a kinship with the protagonist of the show, a Latina from the Bronx, because "I imagine being a writer in Hollywood is often very similar to being a maid in Manhattan."
Yeah, not really.
