I never understood why those idiots at Showtime canceled Dead Like Me. It was one of the greatest shows and one of the few I made time to watch each and every week. It has been a few years since the cancellation - but the fan following just keeps building. Thanks to that - it looks like there might be a Dead Like Me movie in the works.
There is now talk of a Dead Like Me movie in the works, with Stephen Herek (Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead, Mr. Holland’s Opus, Rock Star) supposedly on board to direct. The movie is slated to be a direct to DVD affair, but considering that this is where the show seemed to find its audience, I don’t think that will be a problem. No word yet on whether or not the entire original cast will return, or what involvement (if any) series creator Bryan Fuller will have.
All I can say is “Whoo hoo!” and I hope they can get it all together and produced at the same great level of acting and story writing that the TV show was done at. For more on Dead Like Me and it’s cult following (and I mean that in the nicest way) check out DeadLikeMeOnline.com.
