We’ll have to attend slightly longer to return to Cabot Cove, as Common Footage has pushed again the discharge of the Homicide, She Wrote film starring Jamie Lee Curtis. The movie was initially slated to hit theaters on December 22, 2027, however has now been delayed to February 4, 2028.
This transfer will give the film slightly respiratory room from some huge releases, together with Avengers: Secret Wars, The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, and The Housemaid’s Secret, all of that are at the moment slated to open on December 17.
Homicide, She Wrote
The unique Homicide, She Wrote TV collection starred the incomparable Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher, a retired schoolteacher who turns into a profitable thriller author and beginner detective. Set within the fictional city of Cabot Cove, Maine, in addition to throughout the USA (and generally overseas), the collection spanned 12 seasons and aired from 1984 to 1996. As soon as the present concluded, Lansbury returned in 4 tv motion pictures that have been launched from 1997 to 2003. Homicide, She Wrote continues to be a beloved collection, and whereas the considered anybody else getting into the position could appear sacrilegious, I’ll admit to being interested by Curtis tackling the character.
Jason Moore (Pitch Excellent) is ready to direct the film from a script by Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo (Dumb Cash). Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who’re at the moment using excessive on the success of Mission Hail Mary, are producing the movie.
I’m a fan of the unique collection, although I’m pretty new to it. I watched my first episode simply final yr, and there may be actually one thing very particular and comfy about it. Alternate with some Columbo, and there goes my Friday nights.
The TV Reboot
Earlier than the film started to take form, a collection reboot was additionally within the works in 2013. Octavia Spencer was set to star as a hospital administrator and beginner sleuth who self-publishes her first thriller novel. Followers weren’t actually eager on a reboot, and neither was Lansbury. Though the actress was a fan of Spencer, she thought the collection needs to be referred to as one thing else. “I believe it’s a mistake to name it Homicide, She Wrote as a result of Homicide, She Wrote will at all times be about Cabot Cove and this excellent little group of people that informed these pretty tales and loved a chunk of that place, and in addition loved Jessica Fletcher, who’s a uncommon and really particular person sort of particular person,” Lansbury stated. A yr later, it was introduced that the venture wouldn’t be shifting ahead.
