Hollywood is prone&nbsp;to&nbsp;taking its hits and squeezing them to fit on the small screen.&nbsp;Saturday morning classics like The Real Ghostbusters&nbsp;and hit sitcoms like Alice are&nbsp;examples of this, but even prestigious movies like Traffic have found another life on cable.

Meanwhile, HBO is producing a limited series based on the Oscar-winning film Parasite.&nbsp;&nbsp;
