Il film?!

Is there a Skins movie on the cards? It’s very early days, but Film4 are in ‘preliminary talks’ about a Skins movie, which basically means that nothing has been agreed and it may or may not happen. But, let’s speculate anyway…

We already have a Hollywood star in the form of Dev, and Skins is already 48 minutes long (without ad breaks); and that simply isn’t long enough, judging by your comments (which we take as THE LAW). We can think of four successful TV spin offs recently: The Simpsons, South Park, In the Loop (from the hilarious In the Thick of It, featuring Sid’s dad as foul mouthed Malcolm Tucker, FACT) and Sex and the City; but two of those have were cartoons. And Sex and the City was rubbish. Hmmm.

What could happen in Skins: the Movie? And who would it feature? Would/should it still be based in Bristol? A mixture of the old gang and the series 3 gang or should it have ‘Hollywood’ faces? If so, who? Scarlet Johansson as Naomi or is the diminutive Miss Lily Loveless the only gal for the job?

Lets discuss

So yeah, after your fantastic answers to my question asking where you’d like to see Skins go in series 4, I’d love to see what would you want to see in the movie?

I would love a Skins movie tying up loose ends from season 2. Mainly, did Sid ever find Cassie? But also, whether Maxxie is making it as a dancer, how Jal is doing, whether or not Tony and Michelle moved on. It would be neat for the new cast to have cameos or something but they still have another season to tell their stories.

I reckon the movie should involve both character generations.
It should be set after S4 and could be a good tool to tie everything together. Basically it could be:
# Gen 1 characters – what they’re up to… life after college, etc.
#Gen 2 characters – The transistion from college to uni…. leaving friends/relationships behind or maybe not (and of course heaps of Naomily).
#Gen 3 characters – Use the movie as a quick introduction to new set of characters prelude to S5
All this said the movie would obviously have to revolve around Effy. She’d tie Gen 1 and 2 together but no too sure how you’d tie in Gen 3. Maybe via Keiron if he’s still shacking up with Naomi’s mum… maybe Eff fails and has to redo year 12 (sorry i’m from Australia and don’t know what last year of college in UK is called), maybe Thomas goes back to being janitor cos Pandora is pregnant and he needs money to provide? There’s too many possibilities but I defo hope the movie is a goer, Brian and Jamie can’t do any wrong in my eyes so i don’t see why it wouldn’t be a hit. I just hope E4 were saying this just to keep the skins hype alive…. surely not.

Honestly?
No way.. films are a good way to wrap up a series, but not to make for a series that is still on going. I feel that over-publicizing Skins would overwhelm audiences into having enough of it. 10 episodes is short, but it’s great to keep everyone on the edge of their seats. I mean, Sex and the City is a good example .. it was released after the series ended, but in essence .. it ruined the series. The original show ended so perfectly, that the movie just made it seem like .. oh .. more? Eh .. and now they’re making another film out of it.

I would hate to see Skins tarnished by a mediocre movie, or a confused audience who just can’t keep up, or an audience who just goes “been there done that ..”. I can see where it would help tie up loose ends .. but loose ends keep things alive. You want to make people always want more .. Seinfeld did just that. Everyone still wants more, and it’s been 10 years since it ended.
