A new deal between Chuck Lorre and Warner Bros. Television makes it possible — if not exactly likely.

"Two and a Half Men" creator Lorre has re-upped with Warner Bros. TV with a four-year deal that will see him moving into features.

Though the deal will still center around television, it will make it possible for him to write, develop and/or direct features for Warner Bros.

“After writing and producing sitcoms for 20 years, it’ll be a welcome relief to take all the violence, insanity and human suffering from behind the cameras and put it out front," Lorre cracked in a release. "And finally, the feature component of this new deal allows me to fulfill a lifelong ambition — to have a project in ‘turnaround.’”

The deal also expands Lorre's television-development territory into dramas and long-form projects.

Lorre has been with Warner Bros. Television since 2000.
