Crash movie to hit US TV screens

Crash, the movie which unexpectedly won best film at the Oscars two years ago, is being turned into a TV series.

Thirteen one-hour programmes will be made US cable channel Starz. The show is expected to premiere in August.

Crash focused on racial and ethnic tensions in Los Angeles and was made with a relatively small budget.

Paul Haggis, who co-wrote and directed the original, will be executive producer. Actor Don Cheadle will join the team and could reprise his role.

The series will pick up where the movie ended.

Cheadle, who will be a producer, said: "It will present an opportunity to delve into many subjects, not just race relations in LA."
