TV Shows Hit Big Screen!
by Craig Tomashoff
Hollywood is currently crazy for adapting cult-classic television series into movies. Here's the scoop on a few small-screen favorites bound for the big screen in the near future.
 The Honeymooners
In theaters: Cedric the Entertainer as Ralph Kramden and Mike Epps as his pal Norton. What to expect: It's an ethnic twist on the classic comedy, but we're holding out for at least one commemorative "Hamina, hamina, hamina!" In theaters: Spring 2005
Bewitched
Stars: Nicole Kidman as Samantha, Will Ferrell as hubby Darrin and Shirley MacLaine as Endora. What to expect: Utter zaniness when a real nose-twitching witch is hired to play Samantha in a movie adaptation of Bewitched. It's a show within a movie about a show (got that?) in Nora Ephron's take on the hit series. In theaters: July 8, 2005
The Dukes of Hazzard
Stars: Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville as Bo and Luke Duke, Jessica Simpson as their hottie cousin Daisy, and Willie Nelson as Uncle Jesse. What to expect: It's been 20 years since the series ended, so the General Lee better jump even higher and Daisy's shorts better be even shorter if they plan on pulling in a new generation. In theaters: July 29, 2005
 Serenity
Stars: The cast of the short-lived Fox series Firefly — including Nathan Fillion and Gina Torres — returns for this space Western. What to expect: With Buffy creator Joss Whedon writing and directing, this could be a fun ride. In theaters: September 30, 2005
Get Smart
Stars: The Daily Show's Steve Carell as secret agent man Maxwell Smart. What to expect: It'll be tough to top Don Adams, but Carell has the klutzy charisma to make this update, cowritten by Mel Brooks, appropriately stupid. In theaters: Late 2005
Aeon Flux
Stars: Charlize Theron as a live-action version of the butt-kicking heroine from MTV's animated series. What to expect: Thousands of teenage boys begging for a grudge match between Theron's Flux and Angelina Jolie's Lara Croft. In theaters: 2005
Miami Vice
Stars: It's looking like Colin Farrell as Crockett and Jamie Foxx as Tubbs. What to expect: Sexy cops who don't wear socks but do seem manly in pastel colors? We can't wait! Plus, Michael Mann is set to write and direct. In theaters: 2006
