It’s called Ticket to Ride. And it’s a coming-of-age comedy about a college grad, Ryden Malby (Alexis Bledel), who is forced to move back into her childhood home with her eccentric family while she attempts to find a job, a guy, and a direction for her life. The film will being shooting next month (in December), and I expect it in theaters sometime in 2009.
In the meantime, I’m looking forward The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants II, to be released August 8, 2008.

Variety reports that WB is looking to film a sequel to The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. The movie sequel is to be based on the fourth novel in the series, Forever in Blue.
It stars Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, and Blake Lively. And the challenge is actually signing these four lead actresses, who each is involved in a TV series. If they all sign, the plan is to begin filming in Greece on June 3, a couple years after Luke and Lorelai were to have been married.

It was identified as one of the most romantic scenes ever on Gilmore Girls, at least by the readership of the GilmoreGirls.org forum. It’s at the end of Episode 516, “So… Good Talk.”
Lorelai is sitting alone on her couch, watching A Star is Born, missing Luke, a couple weeks after he told her, “I can’t be in this relationship. It’s too much.” Click to continue »
Pippi Longstocking must really have gotten to Luke. What with Dean and Rory cuddling in the next seat over, and Luke’s imagination running away from him.
But what he comes up with is pretty deep:
Rory is like Pippi… She can have adventures and be free, she’s smart. The whole world’s waiting for her… Pippi is strong and independent. She can lift a horse above her head. And beat up bullies and build a hot-air balloon. She’s unique, like Rory. But I guarantee you, if Pippi had met Dean, there would be no horse, no balloons. He’d drag her down to his level, spend all her gold coins, and poof, like that, all her dreams would be gone.
This got me to thinking. Did Luke have a cool hand? Or was he just bluffing? How is Rory really like Pippi Longstocking? Click to continue »
