I'm ready for my close-up

TGIF, everyone!  I hope you are all having a great week, and that those of you with a long weekend coming up will be able to relax and have some fun :)

For today's discussion, I was thinking of a panel interview with RDM and the actors I once saw, where someone asked if they would be interested in making a BSG movie once the TV show was over.  RDM

Wow, I'm with you in being surprised that the possibility has been discussed so recently. I got the impression all along that no one was really interested in going back to do a movie(except maybe EJO? He's the only one who has seemed to want to tell about his character's further adventures, anyway).

I understand completely that the younger actors want to go out and establish themselves rather than being re-identified with the same roles; it's probably a good career decision for them right now. But still, it's great to hear that she's so proud of the work they did in the series.

It's funny, I was just reading an interview with Hugh Laurie now that "House" has finally gone off the air, and some of the things he said really made me think about Katee and what she's said about Kara:

Hugh Laurie: "I don't feel he was my character; he's not like me, or I'm not like him, but I do love him. I think it's part of an actor's responsibility to love the character you play, and I found him endlessly unpredictable and funny and self-loathing and unhappy. I was attracted to and moved by his unhappiness," he added, "and by unhappiness in general. Unhappiness is an unfinished state; happy people don't need our help."

I don't even know why this movie is being planned anyway, it feels like such an obvious cash grab and I hate Bryan Singer's work as a director.
