some information about finale and GG movie from new Lauren´s interview.

Quote:

Question: I think there's a rumour that as one of the producers of Gilmore Girls, you weren't very happy with the original finale script?
Graham: I wasn't. I don't know how anybody heard that but I think the show always kind of went back and forth between being kind of more broad, more about the town, wacky and plot driven and then more sentimental and more about the characters and the relationships. And to me the original finale was about more activity, more building a tent and had a lot of scenes of activity. I felt like I wanted something where we at least gave a nod, a moment, a picture, you know, even if it was just panning across the faces of all the amazing actors who were the life of this town. I loved Sally Struthers on that show, I loved Rose Abdoo who played Gypsy who was like the town mechanic. All that stuff is what gave the colour to the show. So I just felt that it could be more heartfelt.

Question: Do you think that it would have been dramatically different if original creator Amy Sherman had stayed with it?

Graham: Yeah and you know I wish she had contributed even in her capacity - even if just because her name is still on it. But I think I understand, she's a particular kind of person and for her she could only do it her way, so I understood that. But consequently we didn't have any of her in that last year and while that changed to some degree the amount of input I could have I think it was an uneven way to end. It's like six years it was one person's vision and then one year it was different. And also one year is not enough in TV time to kind of...

Question: Bring your own voice to something?

Graham: It really isn't, especially on a show like that.

Question: What do you think about the whole reunion TV movie thing that's been floating around with Amy as writer/director?

Graham: I don't know, you know, I don't have a compelling need to do it. But I understand and I really respect and I have fond feelings for people who would like that and I know Kelly Bishop would like to do something, who played my mom. I wonder if it isn't like when you break up with somebody and then you try to get back together. How often does it work out?

Question: You tell me.

Graham: I don't know. I've done it and it doesn't usually work. But there are no rules about this show. I could never have foreseen that it would have stayed on this long, that it would have done what it did. So if Amy wrote a script I would absolutely consider it and if we all wanted to do it. I think it would be a fun thing to do.
