The Librarian TV Movies to Move to Theaters

Does anyone out there watch The Librarian series with Noah Wylie on TNT?  They're my guilty little pleasure.

The first Librarian TV movie appeared in 2004 and was called "Quest for the Spear".  The second was in 2006 and was called "Return to King Solomon's Mine" and the final one (or so we thought) aired in 2008 and was called "Curse of the Judas Chalice".  My favorite was the second one, but I always like sitting down to watch the others whenever they air.

The series stars Wyle as Flynn Carsen, a pretty square guy who's hired by the Metropolitan Library as a librarian.  He soon learns that the library is actually in the habit of collecting and preserving historical and magical artifacts, including Excalibur and Pandora's Box (sort of like a more kid-friendly Indiana Jones).  Some other big names star, including Olympia Dukakis as Flynn's mother, and Jane Curtin and Bob Newhart as Library employees.  In each movie Flynn is tasked with retrieving an artifact, including the Spear of Destiny.

While most of us thought that the series was over with the third TV movie, producer Dean Devlin has recently announced that a forth Librarian movie will be released in theaters.  No word yet on the date, but since shooting will be occurring this year, chances are it'll be released sometime in 2010.
