Two Seasons And A Movie

Stop the presses.  It looks like a Party Down film is going to happen. 

Megan Mullally [...] confirmed today that the long-rumored Party Down movie, inspired by the Starz series, is now a go and she will be part of it.

Of course, even a confirmation like this doesn't prove anything.  I won't feel comfortable until it's in production.

Commercially speaking, it's a dumb idea.  Beyond the cult audience (which has to be smaller than most for Party Down), who wants to see big screen versions of flop series?  Serenity didn't make its money back, and the Mr. Show follow-up couldn't even be released.  There's also a talk of an Arrested Development movie, but even now that the original cast means something in motion pictures, I wouldn't invest in it.

But who cares?  Even if I'm the only one in the theatre, I'll be happy.  The question is will it keep the basic format--a plot built around one catered event--or will it try to broaden the story now that they have more time and money--will we see the homelife of the characters, for instance?  I hope they stick to the original concept, and make it one of the most brilliant farces ever on film.
