Let's Pretend... A Poll...

What if the movie (you know, The Movie), doesn't beget a sequel and that announcement is observed and processed by the Hollywod powers that digest such things.  What if someone decides it could be a successful TV series?  I know, big stretch because it already was a successful TV series.  But can it work a second time?  Can it duplicate the success of, say... Hawaii Five-0? Do we have actors who can pull it off better than the movie?
Let's see what the community thinks.

I'm not taking the mick with my answers. I do think us Brits play this sort of stuff very well, and both West and Bettany have great track records in the US. There needs to be the ability to do tongue in cheek extremely well to carry it off, and Brits can do that blindfold (I always think of RV as an honorary Brit...).

I also think that a female Waverley would go with what the focus groups are likely to want,and I suspect a female operative needs to be in the mix as well, because of the way the world has moved on (not my choice for viewing pleasure but being realistic here) which is why Ritchie introduced Gaby to the "team" in the expectation/hope that a franchise was coming out of it.

As it happens, and quite against my expectations, I absolutely loved Gaby. I thought she was a great character.

And I'm not sure about another movie, but although it didn't burn any houses down, Ritchie may have just enough clout to say "#1 was the intro, #2 we're in the story properly."

"#1 was the intro, #2 we're in the story properly."
Yes to this. I loved the first as an intro, you could really see it build, fingers crossed there will be a sequel.
