Ny So-called Life Movie?Ny So-called Life Movie?I don't know if this question has ever been asked, so forgive me if it has, but does anyone see a possibility of Winnie Holtzman writing a MSCL movie? It would give the show it's propper end, the one ABC never did, we could see what has happened to Angela in the years since Liberty High and Rayanne and Rickie, etc.
What does everyone think? Am I nuts? It's okay if you think so, but I do think the audience would be there if such a project were discussed. i don't really think a MSCL movie would "work" with the actors being as old as they are now. The show is all about the confusion and pain and angst you experience growing up...it just wouldn't be the same if they were all grown up
![]() It's kind of like Dawson's Creek, if anyone watches that show. I used to really like it during the first season or two, but as they got older they got more "mature" and started acting differently, and now that all the characters are in college, it's like a completely different show. It just doesn't have the same appeal anymore. Because of that, sometimes I think it's kind of a good thing that there was only one season of MSCL...I would have loved to see more, but I think it's better that it went out like it did, and we all remember it as perfect. Once upon a time there lived a girl. She was always asleep. One morning she woke up.
I know what you mean pete, but I think that a countinuation of the show in a movie with the actors in their age now, about what happened would be fun and could be great if the actors where all there and wanted to do it. The ending of season one left a lot of questions, even though I'm glad there's no season two, and to skip that time between and make some great story about what happened...I donno, it seems like a good idea to me. Maybe someone could create some fanfiction about it. I know there will never be a movie like that.
An MSCL movie? I hope it never happens. If it did it would probably not be successful. Too much time has gone by, the actors are too old to pull it off. And there's no way that MSCL would work with different actors. The movie would come off too much like those sappy reunion shows.
Now, a follow-on novelization written by the MSCL writing and production team would be a wonderful thing! We could see where the series might have gone if it had been given the chance without it destroying our mental images of the characters. Bill the Mooneyguy.
yeah, for a while i thought a MSCL movie would be cool, but it just seems like there would be no way for it to do justice to the original show since you'd have to get new actors. all of us obsessed fans would be sitting there in the theater thinking, "the real Angela would never say it that way" and throwing our popcorn at the screen. the whole thing would be a mess.

MSCL MovieI actually think it would be an awesome thing. I would be the first person to go and see it. I like your idea, or maybe jsut getting some different actors to do it the way the show was. I am not sure. I am down with it
Check out the fan fic section on this page. There are a couple of really awesome continuations. We've already seen how a follow-up novel (even an officially licensed one or whatever) does to our favorite show, so I'd rather live in blissful (but imaginative) ignorance over what they had planned. I think we're really lucky to be fans of a series that ended before it had a chance to have any bad episodes ... not that I wouldn't have loved to have seen more eps during the original run. Tracey

Previously on MSCL.I can't see any possible way that a movie would be satisfying. The advantage of a TV show over a Movie is that you get to spend a lot more time with the characters, you get to know them better because you get to see them develop over a long period of time. It's about seeing the characters change. A movie could really only show you the end result of all that happened in the intervening years. You'd be filled in on what's going on, but I think it'd end being almost like a really long "Previously on MSCL" clip.
The people involved in this show were undoubtably talented, and simply wouldn't be involved in a show that was simply a compilation of flashbacks. But despite all effort, I can't imagine it achieving all that we would want it to. WorldsApart ==> Wicked Avator! The sun's outside the window trying to show us we're all being stupid. All you have to do is look around.
