"Dead Like Me" movie update



Last month I mentioned that there was going to be a straight to dvd movie based on this t.v. series. Well, the movie has wrapped and is expected to hit the shelves sometime next year, yay!.

I also mentioned there were going to be possible cast changes. Unfortunately they replaced 2 of my favourite characters. Mandy Patinkin's character Rube (the most integral character aside from Georgia Lass) and Laura Harris character Daisy Adair.

She has a new t.v. show and I guess Mandy couldn't get out of his "Criminal Minds" contract in time. The rest of the original cast is back though, so if you can over look those changes it should still be a fairly enjoyable movie.

I just hope the 2 replacements gel well with the rest of the cast. It will be interesting to see if this show does return to t.v. how Bryan Fuller will juggle the responsibilities of 3 shows (Heroes, Pushing Daisies) assuming "Pushing Daisies" works out.

Anyone else find it weird that both of his series have a title that refers to death?.
