The Librarian feature movie!

The Librarian’s next adventure: your movie theater
Yesterday Deb had a little one-on-one interview with Dean Devlin, producer of TNT’s new hit, Leverage, as well as the trilogy of The Librarian TV movies (the third one aired early last month). She’ll have that interview up sometime later (small preview: Christian Kane’s hair is discussed in length — pun intended). One question that came up was about where The Librarian series is headed; given its success, will it ever transcend to the big screen?

“We’re in the process right now of writing the script,” Devlin told Deb in the interview. “Were hoping some time later this year to start shooting the first Librarian feature movie.” Maybe Noah Wyle didn’t make such a bad move after all.


With the so-so reception the last Indiana Jones movie got (aliens and swinging through trees with monkeys — I mean, come on!), it’s possible that something like this might be a welcome “replacement” for it. Then again, have you seen the National Treasure series? Yikes.

“We’re a little more family friendly than the Indiana Jones franchise,” Devlin continued, “but it’s a good time to let this character flourish.”

Resident CliqueClack Librarian expert, Rich Keller, had this to say about the series: “For an action-adventure television series it was good. Cheesy but good. Everyone involved looked to be having a good time filming the series. The third installment was probably the best of them all.”

I’ve yet to check any of the Librarian movies out, but the fact that a feature movie is in the works will make me think twice about passing up at least one of the movies, should it make a repeat showing on TV. I’d love to hear your opinion on the movies if you’ve seen them — let loose in the comments below.

As much as I'd love to see a Librarian feature film, I'd be a little afraid that Hollywood wouldn't *get* the series and want it as a straight action movie.

This would be my fear, too. I think it's probably the main issue these kinds of movies have, that people want them to be straight action and all serious like Bond or Bourne or what have you, but really they're better if you just go into them with a healthy sense of humor and a willingness to enjoy some goofiness. There's not enough good silliness in movies these days.

Ooh cool! I was wondering if they were going to do another librarian film! Just love those movies!

Loved the Librarian movies

My wife and I really enjoyed all three Librarian movies and can't wait for a fourth. Though I like all three, I believe I like the first one best. Noah Wylie's character Flynn had such a great chemistry with the character Nicole Noone, played by Sonya Walger. She wasn't in the 2nd or 3rd movies but I keep hoping they will bring her back. The movies are clean, and very entertaining. Please TNT, more of The Librarian, either on the small screen or the big screen!

Anything new?

Has anyone heard anything else about the feature film idea? I cant find anything on the web.
