Imagine this—a Gilmore Girls movie!
It may not be in the works right now, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen some day.
In fact, Alexis Bledel, who played Rory opposite Lauren Graham on the hit drama series, says she’s kinda open to it…
“I don’t know what story is left to tell,” Bledel, now 28 told me yesterday during a chat at the Four Seasons Hotel. “But I’d very curious to read a script.”
Wouldn’t Rory be a mother by now?
“Oh my god—a baby bump! Could you imagine,” Bledel said with a laugh. “I actually always thought they were going to do that in the series. Since Lorelai got pregnant early, I thought my character was supposed to get pregnant early because she had all these boyfriends. Rory always had boyfriends.”

These days Alexis Bledel is trying her hand at being a film star and stepping away from television after seven years on the hit WB-turned-CW show Gilmore Girls. There she literally grew up before audience’s eyes as the bookish but fast-talking Rory who experienced first love, academic success, heartbreak, and even a spot of legal trouble. Now, though, she is just looking for more “adult” roles, which is why she took the part of Beth, a Manhattanite stuck between two suitors in Julio DePietro’s directorial debut, The Good Guy.
“That’s all I can really do [to break out of Rory's shadow], and try to find variety…I just try to find roles that seem interesting and entertaining,” Bledel shrugs nonchalantly at the press junket for The Good Guy.

So Alexis gave some interviews at the press junket and the articles keep showing up, so I’ll add them all and here is number 1.
Alexis Bledel may not be known for her karate moves or superpowers, but the star said she wouldn’t mind strapping on the spandex on screen.
“I actually love action movies,” she told AccessHollywood.com during the junket for her latest film, “The Good Guy,” at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. “I don’t think there are enough female action heroes. One of my favorites is Carrie-Anne Moss in ‘The Matrix’ — so I would love to see more characters like that in film in general and to play one would be amazing.”
While she did star in comic book-turned-film “Sin City” in 2005, Alexis said one of her past “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” co-stars won’t need her help in bringing another comic to life.
“No, she knows what she’s doing, she doesn’t need my advice at all,” Alexis laughed of Blake Lively, who will star alongside Ryan Reynolds in 2011’s “Green Lantern.”
According to IMDb.com Alexis is rumored to be in a new project called Sleepaway Camp Reunion. Other stars that are rumored to be connected to the project are The Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco, Drake Bell and Eli Marienthal.
Here’s the plot IMDb.com has posted.
Following the events of Return to Sleepaway Camp, “Reunion” focuses on the long-awaited return of Aunt Martha as well as Ricky and Angela Baker.
Please note that this is a rumour and nothing is confirmed yet.
Film.com put together a list of the best comedies of the decade. Gilmore Girls is number 6 on the list.
6. Gilmore Girls: Aside from finally giving a great role to Lauren Graham, who had been on my “Why won’t someone make this woman a star?” list for years, this program featured the best dialogue this side of Aaron Sorkin’s White House, and one of the great mother/daughter relationships in TV history. And in an era where TV teen role models consisted of the brats on The O.C. and everyone on MTV, Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) was an oasis of wit and charm.
The top ten is as following.
10. Malcolm in the Middle
9. Scrubs
8. Friends
7. How I Met Your Mother
6. Gilmore Girls
5. South Park
4. Arrested Development
3. Curb Your Enthusiasm
