Can you believe it's been 17 years since Chuck first aired?! (17 years, 2 months, 28 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Chuck end?
When Chuck came to an end after 5 years in January 2012, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Colonel John Casey (Adam Baldwin), Ellie Bartowski (Sarah Lancaster), Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski) and Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Chuck reunion disappoint people?
Chuck aired from 2007-2012 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Levi said he's not sure if Chuck would work today. “I don't want to see old Chuck Bartowski,” he told a journalist (Levi turned 44 in September). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.
Still hoping for a Chuck movie?
In a recent interview, Adam Baldwin said he can't imagine a Chuck reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Sarah Lancaster has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Chuck movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a Chuck film, Yvonne Strahovski stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a Chuck reboot?
Recasting Chuck for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a Chuck reunion, a Chuck movie, or a Chuck reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
