They don't need Mr. Spelling, but they do need a lot, like someone else to invest in the idea, a Brad Kern or similar person to lead the idea with a new vision, the actors, a director, etc. And, oh yes, a lot of money.

I love Charmed completely but I do agree that there shouldn't be a movie. But I think there should be a game, like Buffy, but it also focuses on their personal lives as well as the demon killing

A CHarmed movie would be cool if they didn't ruin it for the fans like alot of tv show remakes.Charmed has a huge following,and I think a movie would do well more than most people think.If they do a movie they should end the movie with son's and pick up from there with e Charmedsons season's to keep the Charmed tradition alive.We all love Charmed,but we know they won't do a movie because of the cost to make it and to get the original cast back to do it.A movie would be awesom I would go see it as would all of us Charmed fan's who have been dedicated to the show all of this time.All we have to do is keep Charmed alive and maybe it will happen.

Good point. It could readily be a jumping off point for the spin off show. Problem is that fans are trying to get the spin off show going soon. It's obviously already missed this season, unless a mid season pilot series is put together, but to build (rebuild?) the sets and such would make it more likely for next October. Wait much longer and they'll have lost too much of the Charmed following.
A movie requires a bit of money to be raised, not that there aren't investment groups willing to take a chance. As noted, in other posts, you don't want to do this on the cheap, but it's unlikely to get a blockbuster size budget. If too much money goes into the special effects, which people are going to be expecting a dazzling display, then there's not enough for a decent script and shooting schedule. Plus HMC just had her baby (and I'm sure we're all happy for her and David), so she won't be looking for a new role for at least six months to a year, depending on how much she pushes herself to get back in shape. You know those TV and movie producers, they want swizzle stick thin actors, most of the time, for lead roles.
Anyway, there's a lot of fan excitement and desire to see one or the other (movie or spin off). Hopefully, enough to get the attention of the right people.

On another note, isn't it interesting to see how many other shows are using the terminology and copying the powers Charmed displayed for the past 8 years? For example, on Supernatural, one of the brothers is (did this last season too, but didn't call it a premonition) is having premonitions. In the last episode we find there are many children, now grown up, with abilities the demon they're chasing wants to use in some way. One, who was killed in the show, had telekinetic powers. Not a new idea to Charmed, but still reminicent of Prue. The multiple abilities sounds a bit like the show Heroes, which is also "borrowing" Charmed concepts, although also expanding on them. One "heroe" can freeze time, another can fly, and a third can see into the future (albeit using his paintings). This latter is like still portraits or premonitions of the future.
I'm sure Supernatural will copy more, with time. However, there's also been the BBC show Hex, which may have been a one year wonder (I haven't seen anything on it since and they killed off one of the original main characters). Does anyone know if that show is done or just on break?
Then there have been moives, like Fallen (not the Denzel Washington movie), which is supposed to be the pilot for a mini series for some time in 2007. Another time freezing power.
I think we all see what's happening and it makes you wonder why they couldn't have just invested more in the original.

if thay made a charmed movie it would be alsome i thank that it would be a great way to end the seires......but if thay did make a movie then it would have to be like a seires of movies because there is no way just one movie would do jutice.

I agree, plus it could be a staging point from which to launch a spin-off show, though the spin-off show has more probability of happening first at this time. Also, spell check is a wonderful thing.

I don't see anything wrong with a made for TV movie of Charmed. Even though we saw the girls futures play out in Forever Charmed, did they actually quit performing Magic at that time? We did see Paige still doing White Lighter duties, while continuing to help Henry with raising their children. We could also see a new family dynamic, if and only IF Shannen would agree to return, as sort of a guardian for her sisters, or even as a whitelighter herself, or acting as Grams or Patty did coming to them and helping them out.
BUT do we really want to see Brad Kern involved at any level? Connie Burge, should take the realm and do the movie. That is if all girls + Leo (and the male cast, like Wyatt, Chris, Leo, Henry & Coop) would agree to it. And it doesn't necessarily have to be the orginial actors (with the exception of Leo, Chris & Wyatt - as adults). We just needed a better closure (IMHO) to the finale we got in Forever Charmed. Plus, don't include BILLIE!!!

Considering everything, I think Kern did a great job with the finale, but like most good finales, it left you wanting more. From what we saw, it seemed like they were going to get a break from demon fighting for a while anyway, except for the stray one now and again. Of course we would all like to know more about what happened next and not just the big highlights we were given. I'm hoping the books will eventually catch up with and surpass S8 with new stories involving all the new characters (Henri, Coop, the growing boys and other family members). They could leave billie out, but it's OK if she pops up here and there. One of the next two books coming out is called Leo Rising and brings into play the time around when he falls from grace. That was in S7, if I'm not mistaken.

i think a Charmed movie would be great. now i havent seen season 8 yet so i am not sure how it all ends, but i think a movie set at some stage in the future would be great to see how it all pans out.
though i could change my mind once i have seen season 8 ofcourse - lol
f.ex - the way they ended buffy was great and should be left like that. but not all series have such great endings

Here's a thought: Make the Charmed movie and release it worldwide on October 7, 2008 (that marks the exact 10th anniversary of the show's first episode).

Having a charmed movie would be pretty cool.....especially if they have the kids (Wyatt, Chris) and the rest of the kids all grown up and taking the place of the original chramed ones.......after all....on the last episode, it shows the kids taking a hand in all lthe magic.

Elder: Great idea, but you probably know as well as I that the chances of that happening are somewhere between slim and none. I think HMC would be up for it, as the actors who played both the adult and young Wyatt and Chris. The others may not be available. If AM's new lawyer show takes off, then it can become a scheduling mess. RM may like the idea of a film, as that is where she is more comfortable. Don't know about Brian K, but I don't think he's that busy.
Of course the real task is getting together an idea, then a script, and raising some money. I think you can find the sponsors (producers) but then you need both a studio and for the CW to release, lease, or sell the rights. And probably about another hundred other minor issues. Most of all, you need someone, and not just any someone, to champion the idea and make it happen. As with all creative efforts, there is typically one or a fairly small group of individuals, who have the vision and make things happen. Brad Kern could do it, but I think you'd need a well established director signed on in order to really get serious. Just some thoughts on the reality of such an enterprise.
HMC could also be that champion, especially, if she talked SD, her good friend, into helping.

I have the idea of a movie that covers the time from when the series ended (present-day, Billie toasting Christy) all the way to the old geezer couples we saw in the future. The problem is how do you cover 50 years in just 150 minutes? Heck, if she wanted to, somebody could persuade Shannen Doherty to direct the movie instead of being in it as Prue. We could then sew up some things such as resolving the Victor hates Sam issue.

What Victor hates Sam issue? Victor seems beyond all of that pettiness. He really doesn't even have an issue with Grams, who was after all instrumental in driving Victor away in the first place.
