'Charmed' Reboot? Alyssa Milano And Rose McGowan Pan Idea, But Embrace Movie Concept
Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan have come out on Twitter against the idea of a Charmed reboot, an updated version of their popular television show.
The thing about them doing a #charmed reboot is… it just… it feels like yesterday. It feels too close.

They really are running out of ideas in Hollywood.

Charmed followed the lives of four sister-witches protecting humanity, and starred McGowan, Milano, Shannen Doherty, and Holly Marie Combs. The show has enjoyed continued popularity since going off the air in 2006 after eight seasons. Party Of Five creator Chris Keyser proposed the idea of rebooting the show as a reimagining of the original series, following three sister-witches. It would not star the original actresses.
Combs, who currently stars on Pretty Little Liars, originally seemed to be reserving judgment on the reboot. When she did tweet, it was clear that she is against the idea.
Here's the thing. Everything is a reboot. If you think otherwise you haven't read enough Shakespeare yet.

At least they had the decency to call it what it is. Instead of ripping it off and then pretending to not be ripping it off.

Reserve judgment. Watch it. Or don't. Then if you don't have anything nice to say….. Come sit by me. 😉

Despite disapproval for a reboot, Milano tweeted that she would reprise her role in a Charmed movie, and Doherty replied that she would also be interested.
@Alyssa_Milano @h_combs @rosemcgowan yep I would. Enough was left undone to address and make a good movie.
