This is bound to please, well, not only fans of the TV show but anyone whose dead sceptical anytime rumours pop up suggesting a feature film of a cult TV series is in the works (because such rumours are usually piss and wind).

“Dead Like Me”, the popular TV series starring Mandy Patinkin and Ellen Muth, is returning in the film of a film – albeit a film that’ll only be available in DVD Stores.

MGM tells us that Stephen Herek (“The Mighty Ducks”) has been roped into directing the new DTV “Dead Like Me” film. At this stage, there’s no word on who’ll be starring in the film – but hopefully they’ll stick with the original gang.

The series told of a Georgia (Muth) a young woman that is regrettably killed by a toilet seat and forced to work as a grim reaper.

Squeeeeee! *dances round the room*

Awesome!

That is so cool. You've just made my night!

As long as the entire original cast comes back(because gah, they cannot cast other people!), this is plain awesome. Thanks for the link!

I'm really excited about getting some closure for the Daisy/Mason ship they were just starting to set up, so I really hope they get the whole cast signed on for it! :D

yay, I loved DLM!

Me too!!!

Ohhhhhh!! *major squee*

Woot!

*dances with you* eek! Yay!

Yay!

Wow! That's really awesome! I'm so excited! I loved that show like no other and George was one of my all time favorite tv characters. Hopefully they get the orginal cast back!

This is such great news though! I'm so happy!

I related to George so much :D I'm not sure what the original cast is doing right now, but hopefully they will get them all back!

This is excellent news. I loved DLM, and I adored Ellen Muth's portrayal of George.

Same :) Hopefully her physical appearance is still similar to how it was though! Could be a bit awkward for portraying the forever 18 year old George in the film otherwise...

This SO freakin' rocks! I was not expecting this at all!

And they better have the original cast, otherwise what's the point??

I really hope they make it a priority to get them all back!

That's great news. I only hope they get everyone back.

Me too :)

Thanks for the news. :)

Pretty awesome, right :)

Hmm...I'm skeptical. Just because all though the show was axed before it could really reach the heights of its potential, but at the same time we got enough closure in the finale.

Besides, if the original cast isn't there, I highly doubt I could watch it. They just worked and trying to imagine anyone else as Mason, Rube, George, Daisy and Roxy? Just...not happening.

I don't think they will recast, but the cynical part of me wonders if they will work more on getting the actors for George, Rube, and Mason back, and consider Daisy less important because a vocal number of people disliked her. But *sniffs* she's one of my favourites (George, Daisy, and Rube in that order), they'd better get her back! Then the Daisy/Mason ship can happen maybe *happy dance* I hated how it was left in season 2, when you just knew that it was being set up for season 3 to do more with it

Ya I totally disagree, there was definitely something to be said about the Daisy/Mason ship I just don't think we could get the proper closure we need with them if she doesn't come back.

Doesn't give her much credit to say she was least important. If anything I'd say Roxy - not because I don't love her because I DO - but she never really got her own storyline, so if you're going to mess with someone you have to take someone with the smallest arc.

Really hope Mandy isn't too busy with Criminal Minds to do this project *G*

Oh - half of me is excited, but half of me is not sure about this. Do you think they could do a whole full length film?? What if the don't use the original cast!?!?! Hmmm - I hope this comes off, but I like the way the second series ended - and I'm not sure about continuing after that.

I was more frustrated at season 2's ending because it didn't have enough closure to me, it seemed more to be setting storylines up. I'd like to seem them continue in a film, and I hope they include Delores as well!

Wow, at last! So thrilled. Dances round room looking very silly because of dancing at great age!

Yay!

This is brilliant news! Thanks! :D

Isn't it :D

Woo! Man, I will be so bummed if the entire cast isn't back.

I have my fingers crossed :)

I hope it gets made! :D
Thanks for the news.
