Can you believe it's been 14 years since Once Upon a Time first aired?! (14 years, 6 months, 2 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Once Upon a Time end?
When Once Upon a Time came to an end after 7 years in May 2018, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Mary Margaret Blanchard (Ginnifer Goodwin), Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), David Nolan (Josh Dallas) and Mr. Gold (Robert Carlyle). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would an Once Upon a Time reunion disappoint people?
Once Upon a Time aired from 2011-2018 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 Goodwin said she's not sure if Once Upon a Time would work today. “I don't want to see old Mary Margaret Blanchard,” she told a journalist (Goodwin turned 47 in May). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.
Still hoping for an Once Upon a Time movie?
In a recent interview, Emilie de Ravin (who played Belle) said she can't imagine an Once Upon a Time 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 Giancarlo Esposito (who played Sidney Glass) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did an Once Upon a Time movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be an Once Upon a Time film, Jaime Murray stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about an Once Upon a Time reboot?
Recasting Once Upon a Time 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 an Once Upon a Time reunion, an Once Upon a Time movie, or an Once Upon a Time reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
