An unofficial documentary about the cult series "Gilmore Girls" will soon arrive on video-on-demand platforms. The film is titled "Drink Coffee, Talk Fast" and its release is scheduled for next week. Scott Patterson, who played Luke Danes on screen, has joined the project; he now serves as an executive producer and also appears in the film as one of the interviewees.
"Gilmore Girls" aired on The WB and, after the network became The CW, continued from 2000 to 2007, totaling seven seasons. Patterson's character, Luke Danes, the owner of a coffee shop, was one of the central figures in the development of the story about the mother and daughter Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. Patterson's participation in the documentary gives the project a direct, inside look at the making of the series.
The film is not official: it was made without authorization from the rights holders and is not affiliated with the studio or network that produced the series. At the same time, in 2016 Netflix revived the series for one season, and that work is also mentioned in the context of the show's history. The documentary tells the story of a series that retained a wide audience after its run ended, and now fans get another format in which to revisit its history.
A full list of interviewees has not yet been published, nor have the specific platforms on which the film will appear. The exact release date has also not been announced; it is only known that the premiere will take place next week.
