It’s Dead… In the Dead Like Me World.
There is so little news about the upcoming Dead Like Me Movie, that this blog is basically dead for weeks at a time. Sorry about this – I’ve said it before, if anyone has any news or info AT ALL, just post in the forum, and I’ll put it on the main page for all the world to read
So, what can I tell you that you may not know…
Since posting the article below about 22nd of July being the release date for the movie, it seems more certain the “July” will be the month. The exact day is still not known – but we’ll see.
There is a rumour going around that some of the cast have been required to rerecord certain parts of dialogue due to background noise from a truck. This has also been posted on the Sci Fi channel Dead Like Me Forum.
“Dead Like Me Online” has reported that there will be references to the site (and members?) in the new film. The owner is being very “hush hush” about it, and has set up a competition for people to spot the refrences. Worth a look! If any site should get a mention for helping Dead Like Me come back, it’s DLMO!!
And Finally…
BeBe, a member on here, and on Dead Like Me Online, has started posting some transcripts from Starfury last October.
Here is a little bit of what’s been put:
Susan/Bebe: Hey Ellen, I just wanted to ask did you enjoy going back to make the new DVD movie of Dead Like Me?
Ellen: Very much so, it actually, it changed a lot form the series, I can’t really say what the changes are, but I like them a lot.
We’ve lost two characters, but one has been replaced and the other one seems to have gone oo-o-off [gestures away] where we don’t know where he’s gone off, but then a new character is introduced.
And just going back and seeing the cast again, and you know, reading the new material they wrote and the new ideas that they came up with, it was a lot of fun. And we had all changed over three years, so you see us and like Mason; all of a sudden this skinny, scrawny little shit, is all of a sudden like muscular, I don’t know where that came from! And Delores lost ‘a lot’ of weight, and I still look like me but… I guess! [Giggles] Ah, but other than that, I Mean yeah, I had a good time doing it.

It sounds to me there is more behind this wonderful little series than has met MGM’s eye in the past and they are trying to find a way to make more $money$ on it. Surely they don’t have to produce a PHYSICAL dvd with all the downloads off the internet. Poppycock! They’ve just found “cult gold”.
