Hi guys!

Following months of speculation and rumors, it has finally been confirmed that our beloved show, CSI, will be turned into a movie, for the big screen. The news has recently been confirmed by William Peterson, who is the executive producer of the series and has also acted in it.

The actor said that, they did not wait for the series to end, before going ahead with the idea of a movie, because they got the right story. Also, it was not worth waiting for the series to come to an end, as by that time Gil Grissom, whose character was portrayed by William Petersen himself, would be about 90, and hence too old to be a part of the cast. He also said that they had found a story that could not be told on TV and needed to be told from CSI’s perspective.

I tend to agree with Mr. Petersen, as given the popularity of CSI, the series is definitely going to continue for many years to come. And, if the producers feel that they have an apt story for a full length feature film, I think they should go ahead with the project.

In any case, it is a win-win situation for the fans of CSI, as they will get to watch their favorite characters, solving crimes on the big screen, while the show is still airing on the small screen. This is not true for most other series, whose movies have been made, only after the series stopped airing.

But then, CSI was never a show that followed the examples of other popular shows, It grew from strength to strength and reached the pinnacle of popularity, mainly because it set down its own trends and rules. The show is perhaps the only one, which has two equally successful spin-offs, airing at the same time as the original series itself.

CSI is currently airing its Season 9 and has recently crossed the 200th episode milestone. But even though the show has been on air for so many years, it has been able to maintain its high ratings, and each new season, new fans get hooked on to the series. Well, I truly feel good as it is one of the shows I never miss!
