An update has been issued on the Malcom in the Middle movie.
Frankie Muniz, who played the show’s titular character, has confirmed that he would love to return to the role after rumours of a film surfaced.
Speaking to PEDESTRIAN.TV, the actor said: “Without giving away too much because there’s nothing confirmed. But it’s the closest it’s ever been to being a reality.”
He added: “If it’s going to happen, it’ll happen soon but you know, we’ve also been saying that for eight years.
“The show ended 18 years ago so it’s crazy that there’s still a lot of interest.”
Frankie Muniz says Malcolm In The Middle movie is ‘closer than ever’.
Muniz went on to explain how he thinks a reboot could look: “I think it’d be a lot of fun to dive into that world and see where everybody is, as adults because really, the possibilities are endless where everybody can be.”
He went on to explain that there are definitely ‘conversations’ around a film: “I’d love to explore it. And I know there are conversations happening.
“We don’t want to just be one of the many shows that got rebooted over the last couple of years that probably shouldn’t have had a reboot,” he continued.
“So if we do it, that’s the biggest thing, we want to make sure it’s good. With an iconic show like we had, you don’t want to taint it.
“You want to have the same impact for the people who would want to watch it and make sure we make a good product.”
He concluded: “That’s the most important part, and way more important than just making a show or finally making a movie.”
