We're only a few months away from Sex and the City's big movie release. Of course, that leads to the question: What television show will get made into a movie next? We usually get geek and retro fare making the jump, but since this is a romantic comedy, the door will be open for a whole bunch of recently-wrapped series. Arrested Development is getting yet another stab at life, but what else could make it?

MTV recently talked with Birds of America co-stars Lauren Graham and Matthew Perry about the possibility of their super-popular shows becoming feature films. Graham, well, she says she doesn't know, no matter how many times people keep asking her -- and she has no idea what it would be about: "Nothing much happened; we just talked a lot." That's true, but a feature film could allow Amy Sherman-Palladino to finally give us that ending she referenced for so long, but that we never got, leaving us in an unfulfilled, post-Gilmore disappointment. Perry, meanwhile, says: "everyone's running around doing different things. I think we're trying to organize a thing soon." However, by "thing" he means a dinner with the Friends cast. Sneaky bugger.

Should SatC end up being a big money maker, methinks we'll at least hear a bunch of possible plans for these old shows. It's just too bad that it's too late for more My So-Called Life.

Which wrapped television series would you like to see on the big screen?

Evan Almighty, about which I am irrationally excited (Never saw the original. Never interested in it. Not a huge Steve Carell fan. And yet? Woo hoo, Evan Almighty! Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with me either.), has finally found Carell's leading lady. Which is good, since the movie is already shooting. Evan's wife will be played by poker goddess and Gilmore Girl Lauren Graham, an actress who definitely deserves this sort of exposure. To this point, most of her movie work has been in independent and smaller projects, so this will be a way for those among you who foolishly refuse to watch The WB to see how fantastic she really is. Also just added to the cast was John Goodman, who will be play "a congressman who mentors [Evan]."

Apparently in the sequel, Evan has made the thankfully rather unusual transition from TV anchorman to politician, and somehow earns an audience with Morgan Freeman/God. As you may recall from earlier discussions of the film here, God tells Evan to built an ark, and hilarity ensues. Said hilarity is due to hit screens in June of 2007.
