Il y a eu le film Friday Night Lights en 2004, avec Billy Bob Thornton. Puis la série à succès Friday Night Lights, de 2006 à 2011, avec Kyle Chandler dans le rôle du coach Taylor. Mais il n’y aura très probablement pas de nouveau long métrage. Peter Berg, réalisateur du premier film adapté d’un roman de H.G. Bissinger puis créateur de la série, a en effet rejeté l’idée au micro de Collider. “Il n’y aura pas de film”, a-t-il déclaré alors qu’il effectuait la promotion de Du sang et des larmes, son nouveau film. “On en a parlé, certaines personnes pensaient que c’était une bonne idée, d’autres non. Personnellement, j’en suis venu à penser qu’il s’agissait d’une mauvaise idée et je doute sérieusement que ça verra le jour.” Une prise de parole qui met sans doute un point final à toute spéculation sur le sujet, surtout si l’on se souvient que l’acteur Kyle Chandler avait lui aussi, il y a un an, manifesté son désintérêt pour un autre film.
Friday Night Lights is sure to go down in history as one of the greatest TV dramas of all time, but fans have been clamoring for just a bit more since the NBC show’s series finale in 2011. Executive producer Peter Berg and many FNL castmembers have been teasing the possibility of a Friday Night Lights movie for the past few years now. Though the show initially began as a spinoff of Berg’s Billy Bob Thornton-fronted 2004 film of the same name, this proposed new film would follow Kyle Chandler’s Coach Taylor and Connie Britton’s Tami Taylor.
Steve recently had a chance to speak with Berg in anticipation of his upcoming feature directorial effort Lone Survivor, and during the course of their conversation he provided an update on the status of the Friday Night Lights movie by saying it’s most likely not going to happen. Hit the jump for more.
Speaking with Steve, Berg revealed that the Friday Night Lights movie probably won’t come to fruition, adding that his feelings on the prospect of the movie have changed:
“There’s not gonna be a movie. We talked about it, some people thought it was a good idea, some didn’t; I’ve come to believe it’s probably not a good idea and I seriously doubt it’s gonna happen.”
While fans understandably want to spend more time with the Taylors, Friday Night Lights ended on a pitch perfect note with its series finale, which felt like a very fitting sendoff for the characters. Chandler had been a bit more apprehensive about the prospect of a FNL movie than some of the other cast members, and it would appear that Berg has now come around to the same line of thought.
