"Green Acres" Is The Place To Be--Movie Planned

Deadline reports that Richard L. Bare and Phillip B. Goldfine have acquired the remake rights to the classic 1960s TV series "Green Acres" and plan to develop the property into both a feature film and a Broadway play.


Created by Jay Sommers at the behest of The Beverly Hillbillies honcho Paul Henning for CBS--Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor starred in the series as a married New York couple who move to the Midwestern community of Hooterville.

It also has a catchy theme song by the great Vic Mizzy.



The project is currently seeking a writer and director for the feature adaptation.

Bare, who directed 166 of the show's 170 episodes, has been trying to revive the hit series for almost a decade.
