Discuss: Characters That Should Reunite for the Holidays
Filed under: Fandom
On Christmas Day, Last Chance Harvey will go into limited release and give us a Christmas treat. The film stars Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson, and it's almost like seeing what would've happened if Stranger Than Fiction's Professor Jules Hilbert met and romanced Karen Eiffel. I always wonder what sort of romance could have blossomed between Jules and Karen, and since this is the holiday season, it got me thinking about characters who should reunite and deal with the holidays on the big screen.The first that came to mind was Jesse and Celine -- our beloved Before Sunrise and Before Sunset characters. After Richard Linklater created a billowing, world-wide sigh with the ending of the second film, audiences have been itching to find out what happens next, so why not a thoughtful piece that takes place over the course of the holidays? It wouldn't work to add a million people into the mix, but I'm sure the pair would find a lot to say about Christmas, and maybe we could finally see how the pair survive in the real (albeit Santa-laced) world.
Beyond the realm of indie romance, can you imagine a certain Miles and Jack taking a New Years Eve trip back to wine country? Pineapple Express getting hidden in a Christmas gift? The Wonder Boys going on a new snow-filled adventure?
Are there any characters you would love to see in the holiday setting? Are any just perfect for dealing with a Winter Wonderland?

I'll go with the obvious, because I was just watching it for the millionth time. I'd love to see Marv and Harry (Home Alone I & 2) back together again, and getting hurt badly. It never ever gets old... and it's not like those guys are doing anything right now :(

It was such a great Christmas movie, The Holiday that I would love to see this cast back together again. Kate Winslet, Jack Black, Jude Law and Carmen Diaz...perfect movie for the season.

Red and Andy. Now that they're both outta jail and living in Mexico you just know they're going to cook up some crazy scheme. With Andy's bank knowledge and Reds street smarts I could see some sort of heist a la Oceans 11 or The Italian Job. Now that would be AWESOME.
