Via Coming Soon:
“Crash,” a new original drama series based on the Academy Award®-winning Best Picture will debut exclusively on Starz in 2008. The 13-episode, one-hour series, co-produced with Lionsgate, will be Starz’s first ever original drama. The announcement was made today by Stephan Shelanski, executive vice president, programming of Starz Entertainment.
Key members of the Oscar-winning theatrical production team are onboard for the series, including the film’s director, co-writer and producer Paul Haggis, co-writer and producer Bobby Moresco, producer Bob Yari, producer Don Cheadle, producer Mark R. Harris and executive producer Tom Nunan.
Crash, which was distributed by Lionsgate, marks only the second time a Best Picture Oscar®-winner has been turned into a series. In the Heat of the Night was the first. Production on the drama is scheduled to begin in the spring.
Yeah. But “M*A*S*H” was a Best Picture nominee. So put that in yer pipe.

Theme Song
I’ve been working on the theme song (like ‘Small Wonder!’)
You take the melting pot
And you make them interact
The yuppie and the cop and
The kid who likes to rap
You roll them all together
And you put them on a bus
Suddenly the road gives out
They’re all the same like us
They Crash, they smash
They tie their beliefs to the lash
So join us every week for
The world we call Crash
We’ll teach you groovy things
Just like they did on M*A*S*H
Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaash!
