My jaw seriously dropped when I read that email. I'm just so used to hearing rhetoric about "we're so grateful to our" fans from people who clearly haven't thought much about what fans actually want or need, and this team clearly HAS thought about that -- not just listened to fans, though that too, obviously, but done their OWN thinking about what makes sense -- and then gone to bat for that with Warner, which just blows me away.
I was so frustrated by S3 of the show, and then so delighted by Thomas's idea for a S4 and truly sad that he never got to pursue that idea; it's been really lovely to see the movie project come together. I found the movie itself to be a delight, though not an unmitigated one, but honestly I am most excited about the possibility that this project could change, even in small ways, some of the big studios' assumptions about fans and audiences and what makes a movie worth making and marketing.
