Just read some crazy beautiful news courtesy of Michael Ausiello of TV Guide who claims to have tried to pry the “final four words” of Gilmore Girls out of show creator Amy Sherman-Palladino.
He didn’t succeed.
Why?
There’s a possibility that Amy Sherman-Palladino would write a 2 hour TV movie in order to wrap up all the loose ends… (You know, like why Kirk never had a job as a tennis instructor for Emily Gilmore… I kid. I kid.)
So Gilmore Girls fans, here’s Ausiello’s scoopage for you to believe with your own eyes –
In the next year or two, she hopes to make — wait for it — a two-hour Gilmore Girls TV-movie that ties up all those loose threads! I nearly fell over when she said it — especially given what she told me back in December. (BTW, lest you think Amy was pulling my leg, her partner in life and in showbiz, Dan Palladino, confirmed that a GG reunion pic is something they’re interested in pursuing.)
And I wasn’t the only one floored by this development. “She said what?” gasped Scott Patterson after I relayed the information to him over the phone. “I didn’t think she would be interested in doing something like that. But if she says she is, I would seriously consider it.”
Alexis Bledel was equally stunned. “A Gilmore Girls reunion?” she said with a laugh. “That’s certainly not something I had thought of doing. That’s really funny, I have no idea how I would feel in a few years. I don’t know, I’m sure the script Amy would write would be great, but I guess I’d have to read it and see how I felt at the time.”
Last but not least, Lauren Graham e-mailed me late last night to say, “Could be a fun idea if everyone wanted to do it. I would do it just to get the four final words out of Amy. They torture me.”
Stand by for a comment from Warner Bros. big cheese Peter Roth.
Let’s just hope Heroes is on hiatus at the time they film the Gilmore Girls movie and Milo and Alexis are on speaking terms so Milo can guest appear.. run through the set as Jess, profess his love for Rory and then leave again. Can’t have a major moment in Gilmore Girls history without Jess included (and of course, doing something that has everyone left shaking their heads.)
Now, I just have to work for the next year or so on convincing Amy I should play a minor role in the movie… a memorable one… like the last person to ever be fired by Emily Gilmore. *smile*
