Well if no other actresses play the sisters then nothing will ever happen. Because the only one that i think will even consider doing the movie role is Holly Marie. Alyssa and Rose are definitely not going to do it. Shannen won't even fathom the idea. So what does that leave. Only the reruns and how long will that last

It doesn't seem likely but if it was a major production (big screen status) in which there was a lot of money involved AND a really good story then I can see them maybe considering coming back. I mean, how long can Shannen really stay upset at Alyssa? Nevermind, don't answer that, lol. ;D

it would take a lot of money (special effects and whatnot) plus they would have to come up with a great plot! i mean in season 8 they recycled ideas! sure it was fun and all that jazz but that wouldn't fly for a movie.

You are definitely right about that! And there's *tons* of great plot ideas out there--all they have to do is read the fanfics! Most of them are *SO* much better than what the "professionals" came up with! AND most *don't* include that many special effects (the fics are more based on characters than magic), so they wouldn't be that expensive.

that's exactly the point! fans know what they want and they could get AMAZING plots from fan fics. special effects aren' t what makes charmed charmed. i mean sure special effects play a part with the magic thing but they should focus more on the content!

How do you know what Alyssa or Rose will or won't want to do in 10-20 years?

Um, no they can't. Writers aren't allowed to read fanfics and take ideas from them...there are too many legal issues involved.

So find the fic you like and hire that fic writer on as a writer. The fanfic writer would love it! And do you *really* believe that they never read fics?? I don't.

In 20 years i don't believe its gonna be Holly, Alyssa or Rose who is gonna play the charmed ones, it would be like bringing back Lynda Carter to be Wonder Woman in the Wonder Woman movie that they are talking about that they want to make. I think that their parts will be minor in the movie and it will be their kids who will be the new charmed ones. If they want to succeed in making a Charmed movie with the Piper, Phoebe and Paige characters as leads, it has to be done within the next 5-7 years. |

absolutely! but the question that really remains is would they want to do another charmed project when they have already devoted so much of their lives to it??

My guess is no, unless they needed the money. But it's not impossible. They brought back the original Star Trek cast for the movies 20 years after the TV show was cancelled. So if they came back as the sisters seeing the end of the demon truce while letting the ones playing their now-grownup kids actually be the stars, that would work.

That's why new actors playing their roles would be exciting? For every positive you can think with new actors playing is a negative for the others to come back. I mean really who wants to hear that Shannen and Rose were bored doing the show. I mean just ask William Shatner doing Captain Kirk was boring and he would tell yeah it was and he came back to do the movies basically for the money. But Charmed is not the cult status that Star Trek was but it has it's place in that realm They got to face it they are type cast now into these type roles. Shannen will never do anything that is better than Charmed and Rose will never elevate above her current status. It's time to move on and let new exciting new faces play the roles.

Well, Star Trek didn't start off as the same cult show when it first ended. It took awhile for it to get going. The fans simply wouldn't let it go away. As long as we keep doing that, especially since we have the Net where anyone can see how much we enjoy it, I truly believe that eventually we'll get the movie. Whether it's with the original actors or new ones with the originals making cameos, I still think it would be fun and interesting. And even if they found replaying the same roles as boring, I'll bet that just for one movie to get the whole thing going again, they wouldn't want anyone else playing their roles! If they do, then it would make sense to find others. And I'd take others if it meant getting Charmed back, especially Charmed that isn't part of The WB and its emphasis on fluff!

The bottom line is: when Rose and Alyssa have reached their forties and fifties, there's no guarantee that they're going to still keep getting plumb roles in film or television.
No, they won't be financially broke - - but they are actresses, which means that they will presumably want to still act. So why wouldn't they consider giving up 2-3 months of their schedule to reunite with Holly and Brian for a reunion movie and revisit a nostalgic hub from their careers?

But a reunion movie means just what it a one time thing. If they did a tv movie with a new cast a fresh aproach to the plot then a series would more feasible. Take Batman and Superman for example, they started as campy tv series and now look at them. Who would have thought then that Batman could be what it turned out to be. The same with Superman. Now Chamed is not in that realm of superhero category but it can be redone. It would restart with a tv movie kinda deal. They could still pay homage to the old series and still be fresh for a new viewer. That is why the Billie/Christy thing didn't work because it said in essence that the Charmed Ones idea was over and it wasn't in the minds of the viewers. But with a fresh cast and cameos especially by Holly Marie and Brian would still keep the old series special and not completely omit that part of it. If you think at the end of season 7 when they changed into other people if they were fresh people and not mirror images would you take a new series. I didn't like then but with some imagination and good writing this can be done right

I'd agree with you as long as that's like the Superman/Batman thing you were talking about and it happens in 20/30 years. Before then, I don't think people would accept others playing the sisters or the change in direction, any more than the would've liked it if they'd done what I've read that the *original* plan for the alternate identites were--that Holly, Alyssa and Rose wanted a break from filming, so we wouldn't have seen any of them at all--the alternate identites would've been the only ones we would've seen until the sisters decide to take back their own identities. Fortunately, they saw the errors in their ways and didn't do that. Do you really think *any* fan would've accepted that?

The whole reason I decided to join this site was to see if there was really talk of a Charmed movie. I was just on petitiononline.com and noticed a petition for a Charmed movie. I signed the petition and then saw only 91 sigs. I thought this was very low considering their fan base. Since I'm new to this forum, I wasn't sure if I could copy and paste the petition link here. This is the same site that was used to save the CBS show Jericho, so some important people must look at it.
