Gilmore Girls in the Movies

When was the last time your started lollygagging at the TV, pointing and gibbering at the screen because one of the Gilmore Girls alumni turned up where they shouldn’t? What, just me? Come on, ‘fess up.

Sean Gunn (GG’s Kirk) turning up in Glee was a nice surprise, although he was criminally underused. And I always have a moment of re-acclimatisation seeing Kelly Bishop (Emily Gilmore) as the mother in Dirty Dancing. Uh, not that I watch Dirty Dancing over and over or anything.

They’ve had a fair run at the movies too, stand-outs being Milo Ventimiglia (Jess) in Rocky Balboa and Melissa McCarthy (Sookie) in Bridesmaids. Keiko Agena (Lane) recently won Best Supporting Actress for the short Lil Tokyo Reporter at the AoF Awards.

Prior to her blossoming career in publishing, Lauren Graham (Lorelai Gilmore) had a few good features under her belt. She was a Lorelai-a-like in the charming comedy The Answer Man (aka Arlen Faber), had a small part in the great Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, was underwritten in Evan Almighty and successfully played against type in Bad Santa.

Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore) carried on her Rory story in Post Grad, vacationed with her buddies in the enjoyable Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants and made the most of her baby blues in Sin City.

What’s your favourite non-Gilmore role from a Gilmore Girls actor? Extra points for anything really obscure.

What did you think of Chosen?

Back in December, I mentioned that Milo would play the lead role in a mini-series that would premiere in the beginning of this year.
Now, at the end of March the series has been finished for a while already.

For reasons that I have not seen the series, I have not much to say about it right now, but I’ve only heard good reviews about the series. Which is wonderful to hear when I actually love Milos acting. I also hope that all goes well for him in future projects.

The series name – Chosen.
Have you seen the series?

One day he gets a box where there is a gun, a picture of an unknown man and a mission to kill the man in three days. Will he manage that mission?  will you watch?

Milo Ventimiglia in “Kiss of the Damned”

Milo Ventimiglia (Jess Mariano on Gilmore Girls) has recently wrapped filming on the vampire flick Kiss of the Damned. The film is set to evoke a 70s feel, centering around 2 French vampire sisters who have separately come to stay at a summer estate — a ‘safe house’ in Connecticut.


Milo on Set

Milo will play a screenwriter who begins a love affair with the “good” sister and insists on joining her among the undead. However, after they begin their life together, the other “bad” sister shows up and begins wreaking havoc almost as soon as she arrives.

The film co-stars Josephine de la Baume and Roxane Mesquida as the vampire sisters alongside Michael Rappaport, Riley Keough and Anna Mouglalis.

Milo Ventimiglia Cameo in “Fight For Your Right Revisisted”

Milo Ventimiglia (Jess Mariano on Gilmore Girls) had a short cameo as a cafe patron in the short film, Fight For Your Right Revisited.

The short video was created as a conclusion to the Beastie Boys’ “Fight For Your Right” music video. In the conclusion, the Beasties break into a liquor store, drop acid with groupies and get into a breakdance competition with time-traveling future versions of themselves.

The video was a fun one with other mega stars attaching themselves for fun including Elijah Wood, Seth Rogen, Danny McBride and more.

Milo can be seen at about 8:30 in the video trying to protect his date from the fight.
