[nicole-marie]

^Maybe we'll get to find out

[hepburn]

^ me too. that's part of the reason why i want the movie to be made.. so we can see what's happening with everyone (mostly sid and cassie lol)

[nicole-marie]

Well, it seems like everyone wants to know what happened with Sid and Cassie, but they started something interesting withe the season two finale, so it's not fair to not let people know what the deal is with Sid and Cassie in NYC.

ahhh!! i really want to know too!! AND what happened to tony and michelle!!!?

[roisin]

I don't really care about Tony & Michelle, but it would be cool to see what happened to Cassie & Sid. What I would be really excited for is Maxxie & Anwar. I'd love to see the crazy things those 2 have must have gotten up to in London!!

[nicole-marie]

^ Maybe some more dance senes with Maxxie

[.amahlia.]

i know everyone is thinking it, and im just saying it:
there better be a TON of steamy TONY scenes if there is a movie ahah

[roisin]

^ lol, i'll be totally down with that. especially if they don't include michelle...idk, i just can't stand her character at all.

nicole-marie: that would be awesome!! some butt flashing scenes wouldn't hurt either!

[morggss]

Ohhh,
dont get me excited about a Skins movie,
because then i wont be able to think about anything else,
and if it does happen then it will still be like a year at least until we see it.

But how great would it be...
And to find out what happened with Cassie and Sid,
And to see all of the old charachters with the new ones.

I want them to make it now

[Label Basher]

To be honest I don't really want a Skins movie. We have season 4 to come so I'm looking forward to that. It works better as a show.

[LegsXI]

I dunno would a skins movie be any good! I would love to find out what happened with sid and cassie though

[colourmefashion]

i just want the old cast to come into the picture at some point.

Yeah I agree, as much as I love Skins, it is basically the same thing every episode ( although it has been a bit more varied) and I think 2 hours or so of the same thing over again could be a bit..bland?

LUKE PASQUALINO, OLLIE BARBIERI, AND JACK O’CONNELL
SEX, DRUGS, AND TEENAGE MISCHIEF ARE A TICKET TO STARDOM FOR THE NEW MALE LEADS OF THE HIT BRITISH TV SHOW SKINS

After the runaway success of the first two seasons of the British TV series Skins—and the astronomic rise of one of its stars, Slumdog Millionaire’s Dev Patel—the newly minted stars of the third season, which features an almost entirely new cast, have reason to be excited. From the thousands who attended the show’s open auditions, the producers chose three lucky guys as the new season’s male leads: Jack O’Connell as the wild man Cook, Ollie Barbieri as the sensitive JJ, and Luke Pasqualino as the skateboard-mad stoner Freddie. To win his part, Pasqualino spent four-and-a-half famished hours in the queue as auditioner number 5,282. Barbieri attended the auditions as a joke with a friend. Only O’Connell had acting experience, including an appearance in Shane Meadows’s 2006 skinhead drama, This Is England.


But the thrill of winning their roles was quickly replaced by the pressure to live up to the popularity of their predecessors. The first cast helped make the show a byword for outrageous, off-the-rails teens. (Whenever a family home gets trashed in the U.K. now, the press mentions Skins in its reports.) The plot lines are enough to put parents in therapy—but is the teenage species really off its collective head on sex, drugs, and more sex and drugs? “The more rock-and-roll aspect of it doesn’t really reflect what I was getting up to at that age,” says Pasqualino. “But there were definitely people I knew who were.” Their Skins characters have changed the way people relate to the actors in their personal lives. “Everyone thinks I’m this wild boy and I’m going to get my **** out everywhere,” O’Connell laughs. His costars agree. “I’ve struck it lucky because I play a goon,” Barbieri says. “So people expect me to be like that and I come across as really cool by comparison.”


All three actors have their eyes on life after Skins too (the cast will turn over again following the conclusion of the fourth season later this year), but for now, they’re enjoying the ride and have become close mates. “The way I look at it, even being here today is a big enough achievement, especially when I think about where I’ve come from and what was expected of me,” says O’Connell. “Going through school, I don’t think I showed much potential academically, so this is all just too mind-blowing.”
