Gilmore Girls SpinOff cancelled
Eonline berichtet:
BACK TO STARS HOLLOW: The WB scrapping a proposed Gilmore Girls spinoff, which would have starred Milo Ventimiglia, because the cost of shooting on location in Venice, California, was prohibitive.
Reuters berichtet:
The WB Network’s spinoff of its hit dramedy „Gilmore Girls“ is not going forward.
The network and sibling producing studio Warner Bros. TV have decided to pull the plug on the project, which had received a six-episode midseason order.
The series, from „Gilmore Girls“ creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and her husband, Daniel Palladino, was to center on „Gilmore Girls“‚ Jess Marino), who goes to live with his estranged father) in Venice, Calif.
„After thorough analysis, we have determined that the costs to produce an ambitious series, filmed totally on location in Venice, Calif., were simply prohibitive,“ WB entertainment president Jordan Levin and WBTV president Peter Roth said in a joint statement.
To set up the spinoff, Marino left the small Connecticut town where „Gilmore Girls“ is set for Venice in an episode of the show this spring. It is not clear whether the character will now return to the mothership series.
„I should have listened to what my mother told me when I was a little girl: ‚If you set a show in Venice, no one’s gonna pay for it,“‚ Sherman-Palladino said. „This was a great project, with a great cast. Dan and I now look forward to a fourth great year of ‚Gilmore Girls‘ and to definitely developing new projects for fall 2004.“
Das bedeutet jetzt also: Jess kommt wohl zurück nach Stars Hollow (auch wenn der Artikel das noch mit einem Fragezeichen versieht), gemeinsam mit Newcomer-Autorin Jane Espenson und Daniel Palladino.
Der ursprünglich geplante Titel der Serie ist übrigens jetzt auch bekannt: „Windward Circle“.
Im übrigen glaube ich nicht, dass nur die Kosten eine Rolle spielten. Das wurde sicherlich schon früher ausführlich berechnet. Aber in den letzten Monaten gab es ja ständig irgendwelche Casting- und Zeit-Probleme. Dass die Show auf Midseason verschoben wurde, machte auch einen seltsamen Eindruck und auch Wanda/Kristin von eonline hat ja leichte Andeutungen gemacht, dass nicht alles so rosig ist im SpinOff-Land. Da gab es bestimmt auch ein paar „künstlerische Differenzen“…
Schade nur um Sherilyn Fenn. Hätte sie gerne mal wieder in einer Show gesehen. Aber für die „Mutterserie“ GG dürfte es ein großer Gewinn sein. Jetzt lasst uns nur beten, dass Jess nicht mehr als Regular zurückkommt…. 😉
