Lauren Graham, who’s found new success (and a new beau, Peter Krause) on NBC’s Parenthood, has often sounded a bit pessimistic about the possibility of a Gilmore Girls movie. Now, it seems there’s a bit of hope.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Graham was asked about the project’s chances and noted that there’s actually new interest.
Asked if a Gilmore Girls movie will happen, she said, “It might. What’s funny to me is that in all these years, no one ever talked about it except the fans. But now people with power, people who could actually make it happen, are talking about it. I think it could be good, but I wonder if we’ve waited too long. I don’t want to be walking around the town square with a cane.”
When asked if the Sex and the City movies might be a reason to stay away from the project, Graham said that she liked the first one. When asked to speculate about what the storyline might be, she mused, “It’s hard to say because the show was never very plot driven. That is what might be uncovered in a two-hour movie. You’d be like, ‘Wait a minute, they just talk and make fun of things. This is a terrible movie.'”
If you don’t want to wait to see Graham back on screen, you can tune in to the season premiere of Parenthood tonight on NBC.
What do you think? Would you like to see Graham in a Gilmore Girls reunion? Do you think a movie would be worth seeing?
I absolutely, positively, think that they should do a movie! It isn’t very often that a show and cast as well as Gilmore Girls was, comes along.
Yes, a movie would be what we need!! I cried like baby When I watched the series finale that I had to rewatch it. So many things could be done in A movie. Luke and Lorleai could get married or already be married and have a baby. Rory could be a top reported and she could figure out the Logan mess. I hate how he just walked away from her like that. They had been through so much for it to end like that. So my vote is yes!! I would love if there was a Gilmore Girl movie!! Please… Read more »
Of course a movie would be nice ! It was a great show, very refreshing, intelligent, funny as much as dramatic…. the characters were so much fun to watch ! I LOVED it ! There is plenty to tell I’m sure ! We WANT to now what happened !! A movie is a great idea !!!
(The kid that grew with GG is talking here as much as the grown-up who watched it all over again recently and was even more pleased by the show then ever before…).
Just do it people ! 🙂
I would love to see a movie!! I love the Gilmore Girls, and I want to see a L&L wedding and Rory with either Jess or Marty because I love them both so much!!
I REALLY want a movie!!
I would LOVE a Gilmore Girls reunion movie!!! I wasn’t happy with the last season or the way it ended at all! Bring back Amy Sherman-Palladino and her husband Daniel, who had the original, great vision for the show. We want to see Luke and Lorelai married with a baby, Rory with her brilliant career and possibly with Jess or Dean (not Logan). The show didn’t get it’s proper ending because they didn’t know it was the end! Make this right and tie up all the loose ends!
Lorali and Luke have to get together!!! Oh and of course the same cast! Nuff said!!! I still watch Gilmore Girls every day! I don’t care how many times I’ve seen it! I always have to watch it again and again. It’s too good to miss!
I would love to see Gilmore Girls back on any screen, big or small. I was a late-comer to the series, watching reruns on abcfamily like so many people. This show has a wonderfully devoted fanbase that is growing all the time, and even a tv movie would be amazing!
This show has faithful followers and a movie to at least tie it up would be wonderful, luke and Lorali back together, Rory and Logan or even Rory and Dean, I mean come on u guys just ended it on us one week going stong next week season finale…HELLO that was just plain rude….
A movie would be absolutely fantastic!!! There is so much for a story line it isn’t even funny! A wedding for Luke and Lorali (finally), maybe a double wedding with Rory. Rory can have a man battle to the alter; or she can have a job offer that takes her away from all she knows including the love of her life (tough decision).
The end of the series left a lot to the imagniation and I am sure whatever storyline the writers can come up with would be great!
Yes Yes Yes yes i am addicted. I watsch every season 4 times
ABSOLUTELY!!! We (the fans) WANT to see a finish to this story…WELL NOT REALLY…we would like to see it come back as a series, but we can’t have everything, so give us this last story!!! It’s the fans that fell in love with this little town of Stars Hallow, their characters and story lines and even if you made it into the final movie on DVD….we “would buy it” and watch it, over and over…like I do the series…PLEASE DO THIS!!!!
Yes, yes, yes, a Gilmore Girls movie, please! My mom and I would buy it and watch it over and over and over.
It would wonderful to see any project from our friends in Stars Hollow…Even and series called Stars Hallow where our main characters could stop in from time to time, Ive often thought the town folk could be an awesomely funny series in itself !!! I LUV KIRK 😀
I think Ms. Graham is correct in her assessment. But perhaps there are enough plot lines to evolve into a movie. Emily’s relationship with her daughter was so interesting. If it wasn’t too hokey, I would have Jess, with his interest in writing, reappear. Hokey, because Loreli and Luke must be together. But we must hear of so many others. Paris, Sookey, Paul Anka, etc. Good luck to the writers and producers. Just do 1 as two may seem too contrived.
A movie would be great. Even a TV Movie. Rory and Logan need to get back together, Rory needs to show that her driven personality has created quite the career for herself, etc, etc, etc. I was so dissappointed with the ending!
