From Tuesday’s Daily Variety:
None of the major characters from the movie, including the ones played by Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser and Sandra Bullock, are likely to make it to the series, [Lionsgate exec Kevin] Beggs said.
“We’ll use the style of storytelling from the movie,” he said, “but there’ll be new characters and new stories to get into the subjects of race and class, and the bigotry that’s simmering under the skin of a city like Los Angeles.”

I assume it will be even worse than the shitty movie. However, every time race comes to the fore it is a net win for us because more Whites get pissed off.
