No kidding...
The original series ran from 1977-1984, told to story of three single roommates, one man (John Ritter) and two women, whose constant misunderstandings, social lives, and struggle to keep up with rent had viewers laughing as a top-rated show

At the Sundance Film Festival ast month, Franco unvieled an art installation entitled "Three's Company: A Drama," in which "the show's first three episodes were given a dramatic movie makeover and then screened in a re-creation of the characters' living room"
After that premiered, Franco was contacted by the estate which owns the sitcom's rights
Franco tells TV Guide: "When we were accepted to Sundance, we didn't have the series rights, but then the Three's Company estate contacted us. At first they were opposed to it, but then they saw what we did and loved it. So they are now talking to us about developing a Three's Company feature film and an off-Broadway play"
Franco admits that it will be several years before the stage show gets going, no word on the film production schedule....
If this works--expect to see a new trend turning sit-coms dramatic and on film
