"Moonlight" Movie A Possibility

With the renewed interest in vampire romance sagas and the series winning a Saturn award for best DVD presentation last week, it appears there may be some momentum for a “Moonlight” movie. The series, which came just before the latest vampire craze fueled by “Twilight,” was canceled after one season on CBS. Despite a solid start in the ratings, the series never fully recovered from the writer’s strike and was let go prematurely. Now producer Harry Werksman is offering fans hope that a movie could provide some closure to the series. “Well, we were setting up in the end of our first season that there was a coming war,” Werksman told SciFi Wire. “There was the family from which Coraline came, and it was a royal bloodline of vampires that Mick had been brought into, very much unwanted on his part. I think what we were going to try and do is to have the movie encapsulate the entire second season of the coming war.”

There may be one huge hurdle for a movie to overcome–reuniting the cast. After the series was canceled, most of the regular cast moved on to other acting jobs. “You know, unfortunately, I think that everyone has kind of moved on,” Werksman acknowledged. However, a move isn’t entirely out of the question because series star Alex O’Laughlin is still interested in returning to the “Moonlight” universe. “I know I talked to Alex just a couple weeks ago, after ‘Three Rivers’ got picked up, and I was congratulating him,” he said. “He’s like, ‘When are we going to do the movie?’ I said, ‘I don’t know, man. Any time you’re ready.’”

Werksman did say that it was possible that the series could continue in other mediums, including comic books
