BarkMyer posted a link on the SP board to a phone interview SP recently gave, where he also answered some fans' questions regarding GG. Here's a transcript of those GG specific parts (I hope it's pretty accurate):
Regarding a GG reunion movie:
SP: "Well, I've been contacted by a number of sources. I can't reveal too many and I don't want to start any rumors, but they asked me if I would be interested in doing a reunion movie and I said you know, look, Amy Sherman Palladino's writing it, I'd do the phone book for her, so."
Q: "When the change of writers came on the show, how did you feel about that really?"
SP: "Well, look, Amy left and it wasn't under the best of circumstances. There was a battle between her and the studio and also her husband, 'cause they were the writing team. It was, really sad to see them go. I thought that was, that was writing the show's epitaph right there. I figured they're gone, Amy is the voice of the show, you just, and it's such a unique voice that you're not going to be able to replace it because, (they) had some very talented writers come in and they just, you know, it's very difficult to be that specific with with the voice of each character so it kind of sealed its fate."
Q: "I'm going to interpret what you just said – you weren't very happy about it."
SP: "Well, she, Amy was the one who gave us our break in Hollywood and she created that show, she was the energy behind that show, she's the brains behind that show. You just can't replace that. It's, it's irreplaceable. So I think (sighs) boy, if they had to do it all over again, I think they might have tried to work out a better deal with her. "
Q: "Do you feel the show implied that you and Lorelai did end up together in the finale? How do you feel about that?"
SP: "I think they tried I don't think (laughing) they did very well. (Still laughing) They can imply all they want, but you know, the fans want what the fans want. They waited around for all those years and they just, they got this little pop in the end where you know they sort of kissed each other and …." |
