"Minority Report," "Shutter Island," "Omen" and "In the Heat of the Night" are just some of the films that are in development for a TV adaptation. Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese, who directed "Minority Report" and "Shutter Island," respectively, are involved in these TV projects.

It was announced almost a week ago that two A-list directors are in talks with some A-list writers and TV executives to bring their former films to the small screen. Also involved in the other TV adaptations is the director of "The Help," Tate Taylor. Taylor has been linked to the reboot TV series of "In the Heat of the Night." And, Lifetime Television, along with the former producer of "The Walking Dead," has been linked to the "Omen" TV series.

"Minority Report" came out over a decade ago in 2002. The film perhaps made a killing worldwide with $358 million and an Oscar nomination. Now, Spielberg will be working with 2014 "Godzilla" writer Max Borenstein to bring it to TV, The Wrap reported.

The "Minority Report" TV series is expected to focus on the elite PreCrime unit. And Spielberg is expected to be heavily involved, IGN reported. With CBS's "Extant" -- the summer TV series starring Halle Berry -- about to wrap soon, Spielberg and Borenstein both are involved in other projects. Spielberg is involved in a film project -- a thriller with Tom Hanks -- set during the Cold War. And Borenstein is finishing off his work on "Skull Island."

"Minority Report" was a futuristic film, based on story written by Philip K. Dick. It starred Tom Cruise as the head of "PreCrime," an elite police unit that used three psychics or "precogs." The "precogs" predicted the murders, and it was the job of the PreCrime officers to make the arrests, The Wrap reported. Cruise's character John Anderton was forced to go on the run after the precogs determined that he would commit a murder.

Spielberg is in search of another well-known actor for the lead role in the TV series.

While Spielberg searches for the lead in "Minority Report," HBO and Paramount have secured Scorsese to direct the pilot for the TV adaptation of "Shutter Island." This adaptation is tentatively titled "Ashecliffe," and it is expected to be a prequel, Deadline reported.

"Ashecliffe" might already be a hit. The pilot script is written by Dennis Lehane, the author who wrote the best selling book "Shutter Island." This particular series is the name of the mental hospital where the film took place, Deadline reported. "Ashecliffe" is expected to focus on the hospital which is set in the 20th Century. The metal facility carries with it secrets and dirty deeds that were continued by its founders.

While "Ashecliffe" might be more of a psychological thriller, "The Omen" is a horror film. Lifetime and former showrunner and producer for "The Walking Dead" Glen Mazzara are working together on "The Omen." This six episode series is supposed to be a follow up to Damien in his adulthood, The Hollywood Reporter noted.

This series will be based on the 1976 feature film version. The young boy, Damien Thorn, will be all grown up and seemingly unaware of his satanic powers and forces that surround him, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed. In addition, Damien will supposedly be affected and haunted by his past.

Since the series will be set in the present day, Damien will be expected to face his true destiny. This could make Damien an anti-hero. The series is not expected to debut until 2015. And Mazzara's production company 44 Strong Productions will be behind this project, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed.

While "The Omen" film has had many sequels and remakes, so has "In the Heat of the Night," especially in the area of TV. This upcoming drama series will be based on the 1967 film of the same name. Taylor, who directed the acclaimed "The Help" and most recently "Get On Up," will be executive producer on this project, IndieWire reported. The series has not yet secured a network for it to air.

There have been many TV incarnations based on the 1967 film from NBC's version, which ran from 1988 until 1992, to the CBS version in 1994. The CBS version starred Carroll O'Connor as the police chief William Gillespie and Howard Rollins as the African American police detective Virgil Tibbs, IndieWire reported.

Taylor's version will be set in modern day. It is expected to focus on issues of race, class, justice and inequality. In other words, similar to what the original film and the TV serials did.

The 1967 film was based off of a 1965 John Ball novel of the same name. The novel told the story of Virgil Tibbs, an African-American police detective from Philadelphia. Tibbs became involved in a homicide investigation in a racist town in Mississippi, IndieWire reported. The 1967 film won five Academy Awards including Best Picture.
