Production company Lionsgate have made a confirmation that they will be reviving controversial star Charlie Sheen’s acting career, as it was announced that he has signed on to star in a TV series remake of the 2003 comedy film Anger Management.

The rumours surrounding Sheen’s return to the small screen (following his sacking from CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men in March) have been occuring for the past month, and it now looks as though he has his route back onto TV, although the project has not yet been picked up by a network (though it is looking likely to do so, and will be distributed by Lionsgate affiliat Dembar-Mercury).

The series is said by Lionsgate to be a ‘loose adaptation’ of the movie, which was based on the concept of a therapist who has high-end anger management problems of his own, a character which was played by Jack Nicholson in the movie. Guess who will be ironically taking the job of that role on TV?

While it is unclear how serious he is about his views on the role, Sheen said of his new position: “I chose Anger Management because, while it might be a stretch for me to play a guy with serious anger management issues, I think it is a great concept.”

Lead producer of the show is Joe Roth, who is pleased to be reunited with Charlie Sheen, who starred in a number of his movies before. Roth said of his project’s new lead actor: “Who better than Charlie Sheen to tackle Anger Management? With Charlie’s incredible talent and comic gifts, he remains the leading man of TV sitcoms. I’m excited to collaborate with him once again.”
