'Fargo' TV series may become a reality

One of the Coen brothers' most famous movies may be heading to the small screen. "Fargo," the critically-acclaimed 1996 dark comedy, is apparently being worked into a series by FX, Variety reports.

The network is in discussions with MGM Television to adapt the Oscar-winning film, but details are scarce at this point. This is not the first time the idea of a series based on the movie has been discussed. In fact, Edie Falco starred in a pilot episode for proposed series back in 2003, according to the publication.

The movie is certainly a good pick for a television show. The original starred Frances McDormand (who went on to win an Academy Award) as a pregnant small-town sheriff investigating several strange murders. It also starred William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi and earned Joel and Ethan Coen an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
