Are we ready to do this all over again?

Apparently the Skins film has been confirmed, and it's mostly about Gen 2 with appearances from Gens 1 and 3? Honestly, I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. On the one hand, HAVEN'T WE SUFFERED ENOUGH? I feel like I've been through twelve rounds with this show and now they're asking me to go through ANOTHER. It's exhausting, you know? Skins really is an abusive boyfriend of a show.

But on the other hand, I'm not ready to give up this cast yet and it's possible that they'll be able to salvage these characters' storylines. It's going to be difficult, because they have a whole bunch of loose ends from series four to wrap up and I assume they'll want to tell a whole new story as well, but it's possible that it could be good. At the very least, the main problem that plagued series four - the insularity of the episodes - won't happen with the film.

IDK; obviously it's too early to judge, and I'm approaching the whole thing with extreme caution. But the most important thing? With new gen 2 canon on the way, that means the fandom is much less likely to die out. And that, at least, makes me incredibly happy. ♥

I think I'm just going to be tentatively hopeful about this whole thing :)

I love that the second gen gets to work together again (Kat and Meg can't be happy about that particular point :P) because they're always hilarious

Yes, I love that they'll be together again! We'll get another round of interviews and behind the scenes stuff, which is definitely a massive plus. :D I feel kind of sorry for Luke, though.

But he's going to be in a movie with Leighton Meester's sour-faced bf, so his life can't be THAT bad.

LOL is he? I'm kind of amazed that he's actually getting any more acting work.

ME TOO, but apparently there's no accounting for taste.

He's in a legit movie? Huh...

It's surprising, isn't it? LOLL Tom Felton's in it, too.
