From Meghan Carlson, Sr. Writer for buddytv.com:
As an unabashed Gleek, I take this news with a hefty grain of salt, a teaspoon of reticent and an overflowing cup of "Let's not get ahead of ourselves here." And I suggest you do the same:
HollywoodLife.com reports that all the major Glee stars have signed contracts obligating them to appear in up to three Glee movies if 20th Century Fox ever decides to go that route.
The Glee stars, including Cory Monteith, Lea Michele, Dianna Agron and Mark Salling, signed the contract before they even started filming the pilot back in 2008. Now, with the massive success of the show after season one (plus their nation-wide tour), a movie sounds more than feasible, at least in the minds of rabid fans.
But don't forget: it's still just an "option" for Fox, and no planning has taken place. And for good reason--we haven't even seen Glee season 2 yet!
Like I said, I'm as big a Gleek as they come, but that's what makes me all the more concerned. Shouldn't we let the show explore itself as a show for a few seasons before we start fantasizing about films? Glee has already taken the concept of a teen dramedy to new grand, cinematic levels on the small screen, and there's still so much as-yet-untapped potential for where the series could go in the future.
Sure, it's exciting to daydream that in the future--the far future--we could be sitting in the megaplex watching Sue Sylvester's Big Adventure. But why fantasize about paying to watch two hours of Glee fun in a few years when, in just a few months, you'll be getting one hour of Glee every week for free?
