GOSSIP GIRL - the movie?


by Peter Lang

Following the huge world-wide success of the Sex in the City movie comes strong buzz out of Hollywood that the popular Gossip Girl hit TV series could end up on the big screen sooner rather than later.
The Gossip (no pun intended) out of Hollywood is that a Gossip Girl movie could come out as early as December 2010 while the series is still hot.
Others say a silver screen debut is years away and not even a possibility until the show finishes its run on the small screen first.
However only a few months ago, mtv.com broke the news that it was a distinct possibility even quoting two of the biggest stars on the show Jessica Szohr and Leighton Meester who both went on record about their thoughts of making Gossip Girl for the big screen.
"We've been asked that a lot," Jessica Szohr grinned. "I'm in."
"A 'Gossip Girl' movie could be compared to a Sex in the City-type of movie," agreed Leighton Meester, "I think that would be kind of hot."
"You never know," Szohr added. "It went from books to a TV show — so they might as well just check off the list and make it a film too."
Some say all this hype about a possible Gossip Girl movie is all about keeping the TV series in the spotlight and the ratings high. Others say it’s only a matter of time.
I guess in this case only time will tell.
Stay tuned.
