Relativity Media moves forward on an Act of Valor TV show
The companies will work together to develop and shop an original and exclusive project based on the hit film, taking it to broadcast and cable networks shortly.
The film was an unprecedented blend of real-life heroism and original filmmaking, starring a group of active-duty U.S. Navy SEALs, alongside actors Roselyn Sanchez, Alex Veadov, Jason Cottle and Nestor Serrano, in a film like no other in Hollywood's history. A fictionalized account of a real life Navy SEAL operation, Act of Valor featured a riveting story, taking audiences on an adrenaline-fueled, edge-of-their-seat journey. When a mission to recover a kidnapped CIA operative unexpectedly results in the discovery of an imminent, terrifying global threat, an elite team of highly trained Navy SEALs must immediately embark on a heart-stopping secret operation, the outcome of which will determine the fate of us all.
Act of Valor's success continued with "Act of Valor: The Album," the soundtrack released by Relativity Music Group which peaked at No. 7 on the Top 100 albums chart and No. 1 on the country album chart. The soundtrack features new music from some of today's top recording artists including: Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, Sugarland, Trace Adkins, Wynonna Judd and Montgomery Gentry.
"I was blown away by the realism and authenticity of Act of Valor. We're thrilled to work with the Bandito Brothers to make something more visceral than any other show on television," Forman said.
"We're excited to be reuniting with Relativity again in order to develop this series and tell stories about real acts of valor in a unique and engaging way," said Bandito Brothers.
Act of Valor will mark the second project that RelativityREAL has leveraged from feature film to television, following Catfish: The TV Show premiering on MTV in November. It is currently exploring television options for film properties Immortals, Haywire and Movie 43.
Act of Valor was released February 24th, 2012 and stars Alexander Asefa, Drea Castro, Jason Cottle, Aurelius DiBarsanti, Timothy Gibbs, Carla Jimenez, Marc Margulies, Dimiter Marinov. The film is directed by Mike McCoy, Scott Waugh.

I find the best thing to do is to test the waters first with a TV mini series. If people a lot of people watch it and like it, then turn it into a series.
It should be two different units one for feature films the other for TV.

@SherlockHolmes2009 What if the missions were gotten into a lot more detail than what we saw in the movie? Adding to the realism of the action?

Ok, well I feel this would have made a better show than a movie anyways... More missions to watch... I am hopeful this could work, but knowing Hollywood they way they are now, it probably won't...
