Destin Daniel Cretton, who is directing Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is also developing a new feature film remake of a classic 1960s crime television series, according to reports. The project will bring the nostalgic property to the big screen with Cretton attached to direct.
The outlets agree on Cretton’s role and the basic premise: a movie adaptation of a well-known ’60s TV show in the crime genre. They also frame the announcement as part of Cretton’s growing film slate following his recent high-profile work connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While one outlet emphasizes the “classic TV” aspect as a fresh post–Spider-Man venture, the other focuses on the “remake” characterization and cites Deadline as the reporting source. Neither provides additional details on casting, release timing, or how closely the remake will track the original series.
Overall, the coverage centers on the attachment of Cretton and the intent to adapt a beloved era-defining TV crime series for a feature film audience.
