Way back in 2010, Lauren Graham had an interview with Vanity Fair where she let out that "people with power" just MIGHT make a Gilmore Girls movie, but as of yet, only the fans were talking about this. It wasn't until 2013 that we heard any more talk about the movie, again from Lauren Graham. She explains in Twitter, however, that it's up to Amy Sherman-Palladino to make that happen.
Our next round of information wouldn't come for another two years. In May 2015, E! News
reported that Scott Patterson appeared on a Gilmore Guys podcast and
explained that "there are talks going on...but [he] can't really go into
any detail, but there is some activity. But, come to find out, that was
merely false hope because Patterson felt it was long overdue that the
fans get SOMETHING. Just a month afterwards, Sherman-Palladinosaid, however, that there was currently nothing in the making, but that if something were to happen, it would need to be perfect.

The original show first aired when I was only five, so my love for Gilmore Girls didn't come until much later. By the time I hit middle school this mother and daughter duo was my favorite way to unwind after school. I watched re-runs all the time. It wasn't until my sophomore year of college (just two years ago) that I finally watched it beginning to end on Netflix. I cried and laughed and got angry with the characters and they became part of the family. When it was officially announced that the revival was truly happening, I was on cloud 9. I'm sure there were others, those who followed the show when it first aired, that were happier than I, but honestly as long as they do this right, we'll all be this happy:
