Can you believe it's been 12 years since Smash first aired?! (12 years, 10 months, 12 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Smash end?
When Smash came to an end after 2 years in May 2013, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Julia Houston (Debra Messing) and Derek Wills (Jack Davenport). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Smash reunion disappoint people?
Smash aired from 2012-2013 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 Messing said she's not sure if Smash would work today. “I don't want to see old Julia Houston,” she told a journalist (Messing turned 56 in August). “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 a Smash movie?
In a recent interview, Megan Hilty (who played Ivy Lynn) said she can't imagine a Smash 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 Daniel Sunjata (who played Peter Gilman in 2013) 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 Smash movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a Smash film, Krysta Rodriguez stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a Smash reboot?
Recasting Smash 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 Smash reunion, a Smash movie, or a Smash reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
