No Friday Light Nights movie?
Seems that will the case now that the show’s mastermind, Peter Berg, has put the kibosh on a new silver-screen incarnation of the H.G. “Buzz” Bissinger book that would serve as a continuation to the beloved NBC show of the same name that starred Kyle Chandler, Connie Britton, and a number of Hollywood PYTs like Taylor Kitsch, Michael B. Jordan, and Minka Kelly.
“There’s not gonna be a movie,” Berg recently said. “We talked about it; some people thought it was a good idea, some didn’t.
“I’ve come to believe it’s probably not a good idea and I seriously doubt it’s gonna happen.”
Well, that is a bummer.
Berg isn’t the only who thinks it might be a good thing to leave very well alone (the show earned three Emmys during its run, including one for Chandler and another for writer Jason Katims).
“I’m not doing it. I’m never gonna be in that movie,” Kitsch told Vulture while promoting his Berg-directed Lone Survivor. “There was already a movie! And the show ended f---in’ spot-on. We’re good.”
That I agree with.
Still, though…it woulda been nice to catch one more game. Because Friday Light Nights provided the only kind of football I care for: fictional and full of drama.
