>How can the original cast return to a TV series-based movie that:Doesn’t take place where the TV show did. involves the same characters.<

Follow the characters where they came from and where they went. The show was about events over a much wider area than Kansas.

I’d love to see a Jericho movie more than anything! Jericho was special– it was set apart from all the other shows around– in a good way. It made you think while not straining yourself. A movie could regain its popularity, and maybe even bring it back for good?
I think Jericho has more to tell–I don’t think its story is done. I don’t care about the setting, I care about the characters.

A movie would be good. A season 3 would be better. The movie premis generates some questions.

All we have at the moment is an NBC Jerichlone about 4 people in an apartment house trying to survive. How exciting can you get ?

Doesn’t anyone remember what happened? It seemed as though that the town of Jericho were the ones that would start the “revolution.” They have contacts in Cheyenne, and it seems that most were planning on doing something there… that is were the second season was gearing toward…

So why not?

After the news broke about a movie for JERICHO, Rubber Poultry (Jason Moore) confirmed through Carol Barbee that this news was indeed true. You can read his post on his website – http://www.savejerichoagain.com

This was the BEST series they had going and then … not unlike FOX and Joss Wheedon’s FIREFLY… they just stopped!!!
I would love to see the series re-visited with the original cast where it left off …but that’ll never happene. Oh well!!!

Fribble – Skeet made the show. I doubt anyone else could have done such an excellent job of the character. I am looking forward to the movie and have no doubt that if it does happen, Skeet will be the star of it and the real fans would not want it any other way. The entire cast for the most part were great but Skeet was the one who made the show.

Though a movie would be great. I regret that it would have Skeet in it. He wasn’t too great in the series. But maybe his part would be less since it would include(as indicated) all of the U.S.

There are a TON of ways they could continue this story on a larger scale, while still keeping the original cast intact. Having the town of Jericho serve as a sort of headquarters for the resistance sounds like a great idea. I think that an entire third season could be made off the second Civil War alone.

I think there are many people that felt the show lost a little of its charm in the second season. However, I think that may have simply been a result of having a LOT of story crammed into a mere seven episodes. I’m sure they were trying to get as much out there as they could to satisfy the fans and at not leave everyone hanging too badly if more episodes weren’t ordered. I personally felt like the second seasons was packed full of good stuff, and didn’t try to stretch 10 minutes of story into a one-hour episode like some shows do.

Looking forward to the movie if there is one, but would much rather see this show return for another season or two. Great show and a great cast to back it up. It’s just a shame that CBS did such a terrible job of giving this show the success it deserved.

Dang. My ‘creativeness’ switch must have been in the off position while writing!!

Just wondering… what’s a “backwarded town?”

I just started watching Jericho and it’s OK, so far, nothing special. Now I read about a movie taking place out of Jericho and I get excited – this would be so cool! If I don’t like anything so far is how cheap everything looks and they don’t leave the stupid town.

And what’s with the writer of this article? Are you so lacking in creativeness? I can already see at least 100 scenarios of how the movie can involve same characters and scenes outside Jericho, each of them involving the most obvious way – the characters, or at least the few main ones, LEAVING the stupid backwarded town. Why is it so impossible that you never thought of it??

The Jericho movie is wishful thinking. Odds are what will happen is they wont find a studio willing to produce and finance the movie so they will execute Plan C and turn the script outline into novel. Which if it sells well might get some cheesy direct to DVD movie (seen War of the Worlds 2? Even heard of it? I havent seen it but reviews on IMDB.com are baaaaaaaad).

Ratings on CW are just bad they are abysmal. The worst on CW of any current show including reruns(and thats saying something). Even this week, episdode 9, when it wasnt going up against NFL games, it actually got WORSE ratings.

I hate to break it to fans who want a movie, but Season 2 was the movie. Jericho had 2 chances and blew it. It wont get a 3rd. No way anyone is going to cough up 40 million bones for a twice failed cult series.

Couldn’t agree with N2N2 more. I was gonna post just that before I read what you said. The real ending would of been the perfect leap off for a movie. Rescuing hawkins.
