Gilmore News - Gilmore Girls Community
The top community for Gilmore Girls. Keeping Gilmore Girls alive and news on what the Gilmore cast is up to now. Daily updates since 2005.
Co-creator and writer of Gilmore Girls, Dan Palladino, is slated to become a part of the newly-announced re-birth of the Flintstones.
The new series will live on FOX, beginning production this year for the 2013 tv season. Dan Palladino will serve as executive producer alongside Kara Vallow (Family Guy) and Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy).
Matt Czuchry (Logan Huntzberger on Gilmore Girls) is my Gilmore Girls star of the day, apparently. We top of the fantastic news day with this gem – Matt talking about the possibility of a Gilmore Girls movie!
Matt has no news about any Gilmore Girls movie, though fans do ask him often about it. He did happen to see Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino on the street in New York recently, and though the topic did not come up, he ends with “fingers crossed, fingers crossed.”
And that’s what we shall do! Keep our fingers crossed, keep our eyes and ears open, and keep the spirit of Gilmore Girls alive!
Sad news! Though Scott Patterson‘s (Luke Danes on Gilmore Girls) new pilot series for NBC, The Event, and Melissa McCarthy‘s (Sookie on Gilmore Girls) has new CBS comedy pilot, Mike and Molly, were both picked up for the Fall season, The Wyoming Project, the upcoming pilot from Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino (creators of Gilmore Girls), has not!
The CW has not chosen to pick up the Palladino series. Instead, the network has chosen to pick up two other new shows for the Fall slate: Nikita and Hellcats.
Big pout. :(

The Wyoming Project, the upcoming pilot from Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino (creators of Gilmore Girls), is starting to get some promotion. The CW has recently released a couple of images for the project, which is currently only called The Wyoming Project as a development title – it’s also sometimes known by The Damn Thorpes.
The new series focuses on a horse trainer who must take over his parents’ ranch after their death and raise his 3 sisters.

As many of you know, the creators of our beloved Gilmore Girls, Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino, are bringing a new series to the CW: The Wyoming Project. The series is said to be buzz-worthy by the LA Times, and we sure hope it lands them more success than The Return of Jezebel James did!
The new series centres around 22-year-old Gideon Thorpe, a horse trainer who inherits a ranch in Wyoming. There he must care for his 3 younger sisters after their parents die.
Sean Faris was recently cast in the lead role of The Wyoming Project. You’ll recognize him from The Vampire Diaries. Also cast in the series is Renee Smith, the oldest sister, labeled as “an unstoppable multi-tasker and surrogate mother.” I am not 100% sure if I found the right Renee in the photo above. Anyone know?
Daniel Palladino, writer & executive producer of Gilmore Girls (along with wife Amy Sherman-Palladino), is scripting a new FOX show! Variety reports that Dan is working on a show called The Chairman of Chatsworth.
The Chairman of Chatsworth is a new comedy series with Brian Grazer, an Oscar & Emmy-Award winning producer. Grazer’s protuction company with Ron Howard, Imagine Entertainment, is responsible for such hit shows as 24and Arrested Development and films A Beautiful Mind and Apollo 13.
The new series is loosely based on Brian Grazer’s father, Tom, a lawyer with “a slightly questionable moral compass”. He’ll be a “a big character with a (messed) up relationship with the truth.” Someone who’s bigger than life, much loved, but deeply flawed.
This is the first series that Daniel Palladino will be scripting alone in quite some time. In the past Dan & wife Amy worked together on Gilmore Girls and on the FOX drama, The Return of Jezebel James, which sadly didn’t complete it’s first season (blame casting, not writing).

Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino, creators / producers for Gilmore Girls, are on the scene of the Democratic Convention in Denver to live-blog for PopWatch!
The first post, written by Dan in co-ordination with Amy, can be read here. The pair bring their unique pop-ish writing style even to political blogging. They describe the scene in Denver with:
"Look underneath and you discover that the Mile High City has become a repository for the largest collection of nutballs on either side of the Mississippi."
They mention where you can find the "true, weird America" in Denver and all that one can by there. Already since that first post, you can find these other articles by Dan & Amy:
The Palladinos are donors of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, so that’s probably how they were invited into blog this event. Very neat!
Future posts by the Palladinos will be found under this category.
Thanks to Regis for the tip!
