Another DA Question

Could Dark Angel return? If it does, Jessica will probably be too old for the lead role when things get rolling.

theoretically, it is possible for it to return but not very likely. i dont know of any show that was cancelled and then returned. as for jessica being too old, i dont think she is. it has only been 2 years since the show ended and at her age, that isnt a long time. i think she still looks as good as ever and i think she is still in good enough shape to do the show again. i dont think any of it makes much difference though. i dont think im alone when i say i doubt the show will be back, but we can all still hope even though we all know it probably will never be.

What about as a feature film?

Chances are not. Not a lot of TV shows get made into movies. Look at friends. Insanely popular, incredibly long lived, zero movies. I've never heard of a show being done again after it was cancelled. Perhaps if the actors wanted a break for a while then got back together to do it agian, but never after it has been cancelled. Also, I dont see where a movie could take DA... Someone help me out here (i dont have the DVD's for season 2 yet) but I dont think theres a feasable plot line they could build on. Everything is just kind of a "day" thing

A few series that have been picked up recently after they were cancelled - Farscape, Family Guy (DVD sales were so good they brought back into production and back on TV, on the Cartoon Network), and Battlestar Galactica - which had been cancelled for about 20 years and they just made a new series on it that's suppose to be premiering on Sci-Fi soon I think. Oh, and Firefly is being made into a movie too...so if a crap show like that, that got cancelled without finishing a whole season, can be made into one there is hope for maybe a movie but still a long shot I think.

It's possible but not very likely at all that it would comeback as a series on TV being as nothing has happened after everyone's efforts and petitions over the last 2 years. Not to mention all the actors/actresses have moved on to different projects. Also, Jessica told a media person last year that Max was done and that she wouldn't play her again (Even if James came to her, I don't think that will sway...she seemed pretty stern on this comment and a series return/movie would also mean she might have to work with Michael again and I don't think she wants that). Plus, I watched the replay of The View last week and Jessica was punking Dark Angel pretty hard....saying how she hated working day in and day out up in Canada in the cold, how there so much fighting going on, and how it was so gloomy all the time. So after hearing all that on her, that diminished hopes further of a future return I think ;)

So Jessica didn't like doing the fighting/action scenes and its a safe bet the show's gone?

You can always have hope...I still do....plus, look at what happened to Battlestar Galactica and that was after 20 years of cancellation...but the reality of the situation for right now is not to expect anything or if anything was going to happen, anything soon....but you never know ;)
