FTR, regarding movie committments: unless they're not just major
studio movies, but major *huge-budget* studio movies, movie
committments aren't going to be large impediments anyway. If ASP were
to get the greenlight to write a script today, it would probably take
4-6 months to write it, run it past the major actors and the studio,
get their approvals on teh script and budget and to start shooting. IF
ASP's already written one for her own edification or otherwise
unofficially and it were presented to greenlight for shooting, it'd
still take two-to-four months for acotrs to approve scripts. Just the
basics of getting the script and pre-production together requires
about 6 or so months lead-time -- enough lead time that the window
where they'd be able to shoot it, the "four-to-six months from now"
rule of thumb is far enough in advance that the actors would
unofficially leave the block of time open to do it. Two indie roles
can be wrapped up in less than two months, and large roles in small
studio-ish films can be wrapped up in 2-3 months so AB's current
committments wouldn't be any more of an obstacle to a Gg movie than
LG's current committments would be.
So let me put it this way: it's not the actors, ASP or even
rebuilding the sets (most are permanently standing anyway) that are
the issue, the issue is convincing Peter Roth, president of Warner
Television to do it. ASP implied that he's open to the possibility
when she directed fans to write to him -- *and* Warner is
experimenting with direct-to-DVD movies, both live-action and
animated, *and* ABC Family keeps trying to rip Gg off (Three Moons
Over Milford, Beautiful People, just to name two).
IMO, the only problem is you-can't-fight-(CW Network)-City-Hall
inertia on the fans' part.

LORELAI: I am so done with plans. I am never, ever making one again.
It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.
