The stars of Charmed have been speaking their minds about the plans to reboot the glorified cosplay show, and, well, it's not good news for the people behind the new series.Alyssa Milano was the first to speak out, saying on Twitter that "The thing about them doing a #charmed [sic] reboot is... it just... it feels like yesterday. It feels too close."
It's hard to disagree - the show, which ran for eight seasons, only finished airining the Summer of 2006.
Hot on the heels of Milano, the rest of the girls took to social media to share their views. Most scathing was Rose McGowan, who simply stated that "They really are running out of ideas in Hollywood" while Shannen Doherty dismissed the idea as "strange".
Most diplomatic, however (perhaps with her eye on a cameo) was Holly Marie Combs, who stayed true to her level-headed-big-sister role in the show by saying "Here's the thing. Everything is a reboot. If you think otherwise you haven't read enough Shakespeare yet. At least they had the decency to call it what it is. Instead of ripping it off and then pretending to not be ripping it off."
Although even she went on to hint that she's no fan of the idea, by finishing with "Watch it. Or don't. Then if you don't have anything nice to say..... Come sit by me. ;)"While producers and scriptwriters have been attached to the project, there is still no casting news, timescale or pilot order confirmed.
I'd be surprised if this one goes ahead, to be honest.
