Producer Plans TV Series Adaptation of ‘What Lies Beneath’

LOS ANGELES, CA — Fans of supernatural thrillers have something to look forward to as plans for a television adaptation of the 2000 film ‘What Lies Beneath‘ are underway. Producer Mark Johnson, known for his work on films like ‘Rain Man‘ and ‘The Chronicles of Narnia,’ shared his thoughts on the potential project in a recent interview with Deadline.

Johnson expressed enthusiasm about adapting the film into a TV series, stating, “We’re very excited about the idea of maybe doing a television show — I’m not sure I should say this but I’m going to — our movie What Lies Beneath, that could lend itself to a very good, perhaps limited, perhaps not, TV show.”

The film, which starred Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer, tells the story of Dr. Norman Spencer, who has betrayed his wife, Claire. While Claire remains unaware of the betrayal, their seemingly perfect life unravels as she starts experiencing supernatural occurrences.

Despite mixed reviews, the film was a commercial success, grossing $291.4 million worldwide on a budget of $100 million. Pfeiffer’s performance received significant praise, contributing to the film’s accolades.

As the trend of turning iconic movies into TV shows continues, the potential adaptation of ‘What Lies Beneath’ may intrigue fans of horror series. Johnson’s comments suggest a strong possibility that viewers could soon experience the supernatural elements of this classic story on screen again.

With its thrilling narrative and talented cast, including Diana Scarwid and Joe Morton, any upcoming series may promise to keep fans engaged. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates on this developing story.
