Monkey isn't quite sure how to explain this one, but rumours abound that Paramount is planning to turn its Jim Carrey hit The Truman Show into a television series. So, that's a TV series about a film about a TV series … or something. This follows news that Fargo is also set to be made into a small-screen venture. Paramount executive Amy Powell told US blog The Wrap: "We have three buckets of content we're looking at which has been around for over 100 years." It's a bit early for Monkey to be thinking about looking at the 100-year-old contents of a bucket, but it goes some way to explaining where some programme-makers might get their ideas from.
