For many, many years movie studios have been sitting back, wringing their hands, looking at all of the empty money bags strewn around their offices that have just begging to be filled with that sweet, sweet Laura Ingalls Wilder money, thinking to themselves “Is it time yet? Has the world grown– no, evolved enough to have this baby unleashed on them? Can they handle it? Will the world even know what to do with a Little House on the Prairie film adaptation?!” Well you can thank your lucky stars that they’ve finally decided that, yes, we can handle it. In the year 2012, roughly 14,000 years after the book was released and a mere 12,000 after the television adaptation came to an end. And handle it we will. From Deadline:
Sony Pictures is in negotiations to turn Little House On The Prairie into a feature film that David Gordon Green will direct with Abi Morgan writing the script. Scott Rudin will produce with Trip Friendly. The deal hasn’t happened yet, but they are working toward giving the pioneer family a big screen incarnation.
An incredibly thrilling piece of writing to accompany an incredibly thrilling story. But who will play THE PRAIRIE?! Haha. Just kidding. Normally with pieces of news like this we’ll do a fun game about just what these reboots will have to offer, but I think we’re all set with this one? We’re all on board. Just give it to us! WE’RE READY! WE’VE BEEN WAITING LONG ENOUGH! (Keira Knightly for prairie, though? Because I brought it up?)

Someone has to say it: Nellie Olsen was a cunt.
Best part of that show though, until Laura went blind and got the hot blind boyfriend.
Ummm, excuse me Laura did not go blind, Mary did. Sheesh.
Ugh – you’re so right and so Nelly Olsen about it! Love it!
Andy Serkis will be playing Prairie. Period.
Fingers crossed that it’ll be set in LA.
And that Laura will be a detective? That’s how reboots work right? Put everyone in modern L.A./New York and make them detectives?
God, I hope so.
That would be too similar to a different reboot I just read about: Detective Dr.Quinn Medicine Woman.
The Prairie will be played by the same actor that played all the nature scenes in M. Night Shamalayan’s The Happening. She’s been out of work since that masterpiece.
Goddammit, there go my dreams of Little House on the Praire: A Michael Bay Production
Little House on the Prairie***: A Michael Bay Production
Little House on the Prayer: A Michael Bay Production is just ridiculous
Considering the series finale involved the ENTIRE TOWN BEING BLOWN UP BY THE TOWNSPEOPLE, that would have been strangely apt.
Did David Lynch direct the last episode or something?
My boss always tells me I dress like Little House on the Prairie. I’ll be happy to play all the parts, even the house and cows or whatever (there are cows right? or wheat maybe?) for the right fee. I’ll bring my own wardrobe.
Our generation’s Little House On The Prairie will be a period piece about someone setting up a Myspace profile.
I’m not saying that I am going to dress up like a prairie and go to see this opening day, but I am totally going to do that.
“i’ll be there with bonnets on.” that’s a saying right?
Fun fact: Little House In The Prairie DVDs were released in Finland with a mature rating. Apparently the people that review releases to determine ratings charge by the minute, and given the 9000+ minutes involved, the distributors just decided that nobody who wasn’t old would be buying it anyway. That was probably the right call.
this will actually be a reboot of House where the witty jerk’s son is a medical expert just like his dad roaming a post-apocalyptic western landscape curing mysterious diseases that befall on the survivors.
the idea was actually the planned season 8 for the show.
At the end of the first episode, it turns out that it wasn’t lupus the patient had; it was radiation poisoning from the nuclear fallout.
i’m calling the tribal drummers union to get working on the soundtrack. this thing’s got a green light all over it.
That is also a result of radiation.
AND it’s being written by the woman who wrote Shame (for real). I can’t wait to see the big boners on those covered wagons!!
I was in a punk band in high school called Sweet Sweet Laura Ingalls Wilder Money
It’s weird that I’ve never heard of you guys.
I’d like to hear one of your hits. Got a link? Anything on iTunes?
david gordon green is going to direct??? i absolutely love his films, but man alive does he make depressing, creepy movies. maybe little house will finally be as dark as it should be.
My sister used to describe this show scene by scene, including commercials, every night at dinner. Oh the memories. It’s like I’ve seen every episode.
