Out of all the April Fools Day jokes that made their way around yesterday, only one made me really sad. After watching the trailer that IGN put out for the “New Legend of Zelda” movie I was so excited - but damn, I had to look up at the calender and be reminded of the fact that I too was made a fool.
I want it to be real! Just in case you missed it, I had some fun on Firefox Facts for April Fools Day too. Of course by some of the comments, I am not sure that some people checked their calendars at all yesterday.
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.
