CSI: the movie
William Petersen, who is still a producer of CSI, swears a feature film version isn't just all about the money.

William Petersen has confirmed a big screen version of CSI is in development.
“Yes, there will be a movie,” said the actor who remains a show producer.
“I can understand people are a little trepidatious because of the franchise around the world and how well it’s doing. Usually people leave it until a series has finished – they did that with the X-Files and Sex and the City. But it’s about finding the right story – there has got to be a real reason to do it.
“You don’t just do it because you want to make money – you do it because there’s a story that can’t be told on TV and needs to be told from CSI‘s perspective and the audience wants it. And we can’t wait for CSI to end or Grissom will be about 90,” he told the Radio Times.

I am looking forward to it. I love CSI, especially the Las vegas one.
A CSI cinema movie is feasible, but only when they stop making the 3 TV shows and I don’t see CBS doing that anytime soon.
They’ll make it work somehow, you guys might be forgetting Law and Order had a film a long while back called Exiled and that turned out alright, it brought back a few older characters. Considering CSI is rating 20 million these days, that, combined with other casual watchers of the series could potentially scrape up a hefty profit for the producers.
Nah, won’t work. Sex and the City and X-Files both had hardcore fans devoted to the show, i’m not sure CSI is really in the same boat there. And the characters and storylines are able to adapted to big screen with the other two. As far as i’m aware there’s not much character develoment on CSI, plus every second movie is a crime solving mystery so how will this be unique?
What… the… fawk?!
How the hell can you make a memorable big screen adaptation of a freakin’ cop show?!
The did the (first) X-Files movie while the show was still on.
