NBC continues to build its repertoire of remakes, plans serialized action-adventure based on 'Romancing the Stone'

Romancing the Stone, an '80s action-adventure-romance, has been floating around Hollywood's reboot/remake radar for a while now, and it looks like they've finally decided what they want to do with it.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 1984 treasure hunt flick, starring Kathleen Turner and a pre-Wall Street Michael Douglas, is getting revamped for an NBC series.

Night at the Museum's Shawn Levy is expected to direct the pilot, which will come from a script by The Forgotten's Mark Friedman, according to Collider.

Equal parts Indiana Jones and rom-com, Romancing the Stone, is about a romance novelist (Turner) who travels to the South American jungle in order to try and free her kidnapped sister. Once there, she meets a dashing bird exporter (Douglas) and the two cross paths with an antique smuggler (Danny DeVito).

NBC knows the dangers of trying to do a strict frame-by-frame adaptation, and so their new take will tweak the story a little bit -- their heroine would still team up with a ruggedly good looking adventurer, but they would go on weekly jungle escapades, while the search for her missing sibling would take more of a slow-burning, season-long story arc role.

According to Cinema Blend, there was a rumored big-screen remake supposedly featuring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler on Hollywood's backburner, and the project's future is now unclear since Stone is finding new life on television.

Part of Romancing the Stone's charm, and it's box office success, was the excellent chemistry between the two leads, so NBC will inevitably try to recreate that.
