A Charmed Movie would be a nice idea in theory. But since all the quotes have come out how how the actors have moved on from any mentional quotes from the series the movie idea with the original cast seem remote. That is why I am champion the cause for a whole new cast

The majority of the fans wont by "Charmed: The Next Generation" if they have not been prepaired for it.
I know some earlier has mentioned Star Trek as an example, but still in that universe, i did also not work propperly.
There was made 4 Star Trek movies with Kirk and crew before they began making Star Trek TNG with Picard and crew.
At that point the fans was not yet ready to let Kirk go, it took 2 movies more and to show them that the crew now had become so old that they had reached the age of their natural retirement in the TOS universe: 60 years.
The same way goes for Charmed, the fans has to be prepaired for the next generation to take over.
The first movie has to have the old crew at the command before talks about a new generation can be done.

The first movie has to have the old crew at the command before talks about a new generation can be done. But we supposedly had a chance to say good-bye to the originals in Forever Charmed--that's what it was all about, something that was never done on Star Trek, which is why they needed all of those movies to do it. That's why if you had the originals at the beginning and then led into the next generation, it would work. If Holly and Brian wanted camoes, that would be fantastic, since they're the only ones that we know survived. You could have Piper telling her granddaughter the story from the Book of Shadows (she might even call her by name--WHAT A CONCEPT, KERN!) and then work your way into what that story was. If you never say whose kid the granddaughter is or how old any of those grandkids were when their parents died (since we never see their parents, I'm assuming all their parents died, like Paige, Phoebe and their kids did), you'll never know for sure if the people in the story lived or were part of "our struggles and our heartaches" that Piper mentions at the end of Forever Charmed, and hence the drama. That also opens up the chance for the others to be part of any movie, if they want to, including Holly and Brian, if they want bigger parts. |

Well, Holly can get makeup'ed to look the age of 70 or 80. A guy at worth1000.com (a photoshop art site) did pull it off. I was a little afraid to show it how they look like in aprox 40 years from now, but since we talk future and elder Piper, whats the harm of seeing the future to come for Charmed ? I must admit that Holly actually looks remakable for a 70-80 year old. www.worth1000.com/entries/74500/74558GLOK_w.jpgPush reload button if pic dont load. Q T Pie (member here) actually has another re-edited version of it. Original does not incloude Shannen. |

Not necessarily. They could always do follow-up movies, the way they did with Murder, She Wrote and Cagney & Lacey after those shows went off the air.

What if they did an animated version of Charmed? I know it sounds stupid but it's possible. That way, they could still use the original actresses. The actresses would merely provide the voices. This would also alleviate the whole prosthetics and special effects of the original series. With animation, it's easier to do superpowers.
Mind you, if they did an animated series it would start with the Charmed Ones in either high school or college. That actually wouldn't be so bad. It could have Grams around and it would have Phoebe being all "Hi, I'm Freebie". It's really hit or miss.
How did this pop into my mind? Well Batman was mentionned! Sure we got the 1989 movie and 1992 movie to thank for the return of the Batman popularity but it was the animated show that brought it to new levels. So maybe an animated Charmed TV show wouldn't be so bad.

So maybe an animated Charmed TV show wouldn't be so bad. Are you talking about a movie or a spinoff? For a spinoff, why would they have to be in high school? (barf!) They wouldn't have their powers--if you changed that, it totally changes the whole thing, and I'm not sure if Holly or Rose or Brian could sound that young (Alyssa can--she did each time she had Phoebe playing Paige...). Star Trek had an animated series along this line that was *very* good because it did exactly what you're talking about--able to do all the special effects they couldn't do back then, and still use the original voices, and with animation as wonderful as it is now, they definitely could. About its only problem was that they kept trying to recycle stories from the original series, so you would need new original writers who know and love the characters (preferably fans!) I don't know if Holly, Alyssa, and especially Rose, would want to, but if they did, it's a great idea! And if it's special effects that is keeping the networks from doing the spinoff, this would be a good idea for that. And in that situation, Wyatt and Chris CAN be teenagers--I always thought Chris was one. |

I'm not thinking of it to be a spin-off. I'm thinking the real thing. It'd kind of be like what they wanted to do with Buffy. They wanted to do an animated series set sometime during season two (I think) and they'd include Dawn in it.
So they could do something with the Charmed Ones as animated characters. It would do fine. The thing I think the actors wouldn't mind would be that they'd probably enjoy voice acting. There's no such thing as "too big stars" either. Look at Justice League Unlimited. They featured a lot of former Angels stars (Alexis Denisoff and Amy Acker). So anything goes with animation.

You know Esmeralda, you actually got me thinking:
A Charmed behind the scenes movie.
You have actors and actresses that looks a lot like the cast taking on the parts of Shannen, Holly, Alyssa, Rose, Brian and all the others, a sort of drama movie if you could call it that.
The movie goes totally behind the scenes from point A to Z.
In scene 1 you see how the idea to Charmed was born and from there it goes on: Selling the idea, choosing who shall play the Charmed ones, the troubles that followed and so on, all the way to the very last day when the last episode was recorded.
It has been done before, they made such a movie about Dynasty and it was pretty good actually.
Its named Dynasty: The Making of a Guilty Pleasure.

They did one for Charlie's Angels in which Tricia Helfer starred as Farrah Fawcett. I haven't seen it but apparently it concentrates too heavy on Farrah instead of the mainstay Jaclyn Smith. Just like I'm sure if they did one for Charmed it would probably be all about Alyssa or Shannen but the person who would deserve it would be Holly Marie Combs.
On top of that, there's no way they could make it official.

Here's something to think about when Charmed was actually conceive and different actress played of Phoebe. It's in the original pilot of the show. Constance Burg was executive producer of the show. They also had a different Andy. The point is that if Alyssa didn't eventually get the role and make it what it was to be. That's what it's going to take for the new Charmed Ones for them to try new people in the same roles. I don't want to wait twenty years for the Charmed Ones to resurface. I thought an idea how they could start the movie is a little girl is asking grandma how she became Charmed. The scene slowly fades back and we notice that's it's actually Piper reading to her granddaughter. She tells her about her Grams and how they became to be and each time a story evolves from her reading to her grandchild. They could tell the story from Penny to Patti to the sisters before they were Charmed. The story is rich with many ideas that were never explored. They tried once with young adult Penny but that's when the show started spiraling down. Because they lost their attention to details of the story.
I just think if they don't try new people this idea will never ever materialize and we'll be stuck in trivia land forever

I also saw a very good one on "Three's Company". And that was a similar situation which showed why Suzanne Somers left the show. They did a great job finding actors who looked like the stars. There was also one on "The Monkees" which was fantastic.
It wasn't what I originally had in mind, but it would definitely be interesting to see what happened, especially if, like those, it was NOT done by The WB, NOT done by Spelling Productions and was NOT produced by Brad Kern, so we wouldn't get the official spin. It would be best if it was produced by Constance Burge and directed by Shannen Doherty!
Like those, it's probably something else that won't come on for at least 10 years, more likely 20, but, man, could it be fun!

Actually, when it comes to behind-the-scenes I wouldn't mind Shannen writing a book. She could reveal a bunch of Charmed secrets and the reason why she was fired. This could really work. I mean, if anyone's a Rent fan (the musical) then you'd love the book "Without You" by Anthony Rapp. He was in the original broadway production of Rent and the book deals with a lot of the behind-the-scenes of Rent but also a lot about his personal life. It's my favourite book.

Shannen's autobiography would be interesting--all of it!
But I *really* like the movie idea better--even if we *do* have to wait 20-30 years. Then again with cable and YouTube, you lucky ducks probably won't have to wait as long as we baby-boomers did for the shows we liked when we were young!

Sneak hole found in Forever Charmed for a movie.
I know what everyone says about Forever Charmed: Yes but we see their futures at the end of the episode and how it makes it not possible for a Charmed Movie.
I say: Look again.
I just watched the episode once more and i did actually find a hole in their future that can make a movie possible within the next 5-10 years.
Look at the future for Paige, she embraces her Whitelighter powers and becomes a full time protector of future Whitelighters. The clip with her shows how she still battles demons at the age of approx 35-40 years, if you judge on how she looks like in the battle clip.
There is the hole in their future you need, who is not to say one of them is a little to powerful and needs the power of 3 to be vanquished.

our entertainment lawyer knows one of the girls entertainment lawyer. 1. Charmed has a world fan base 2. (real world here) it will make money. and that is the reason that we were told to write a song that would be used in the tv movie. from what i understand so far is the producers that will be doing this tv movie are going by the ratings that the reruns Charmed gets and by the DVD sales and by fans sites like The Charmed Cafe.
keep the faith Charmed fans.
