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*

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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