I had wondered what was happening with the Dead Like Me movie was going to come out. Ellen Muth mentioned at the Polaris Con in Toronto that it was on its way, and yet it managed to slip from my notice. So I googled it and found out our friends over at FilmJunk had the skinny:
TV Shows on DVD reports that Dead Like Me: Life After Death will finally be released on February 17th, 2009. And for people who have never seen the show, you’re in luck because Dead Like Me: The Complete Series will also hit stores on the same day.
I guess other gems like Bryan Fuller’s Pushing Daisies have been preoccupying my time. But the Dead Like Me movie, despite the show being created by Fuller, will not have any of his involvement.. The real guiding force of the show was Rube Sofer played by Mandy Patinkin, who will also not have any part of this movie event. Much of the plot seems to be revolving around the Reapers getting back into their old dreams and the lives they left behind.
I do hope that the film has the same feeling and style that the TV series had. I doubt that it will be enough to get the show back on the air.
Here is the trailer for the movie, that will be released this February.
