Full House Movie In The Works? But Will They Have A Full House In The Theatres?
Most people may remember John Stamos as Jesse Katsopolis aka Uncle Jesse in the 80's/90's TV sitcom Full House. Even fewer people might remember John's short two-year stint as Blackie Parrish on the soap opera General Hospital. That two year gig was all it took to get the gals interested in Stamos, and he remains a long time heart throb for many.
Full House ran for EIGHT years, (never liked that theme song) with a myriad of actors. They started out with Joey, Jesse, Danny, DJ, Stephanie, Michelle and Comet the Dog. Later on, many new cast members joined the crew, including a wife and kids for Uncle Jesse.
To me, this is where Full House took John Stamos' hunky bad boy image and turned his character into a boring married family man/Elvis lover with twins boys and a sickeningly sweet wife.
Fortunately for fans of John, who stars on ER now as paramedic turned intern, Tony Gates, has finally gotten his sexy back (after a long hiatus). Mercy! As Uncle Jesse used to say.

Of course, in his defense, when John was on Full House, he had very TWO very nerdy side kicks which helped to bring Stamos' hot bad boy image to a screeching halt. Bob Saget and Dave Coulier, aren't exactly good wing men for looking cool — no disrespect boys.
So what's John/Jesse up to now? Trying to bring a Full House movie to the big screen apparently.US Magazine writes:
The Tanner family: coming to a big screen near you? John Stamos who played Uncle Jesse on the show from 1987 to 1995, says he's "working on a movie idea." Don't expect Mary-Kate, Ashley Olsen and the original gang back, though."It wouldn't be us playing us," Stamos tells New York's Daily News. "I'm not 100 percent sure, but it would probably take place in the first few years [of the sitcom]."
Stamos, who has since starred on ER, has a few actors in mind to play the lead roles. James Franco would be perfect as Uncle Jesse, he says.
"I see Steve Carell as Danny Tanner (originally played by Bob Saget) and Tracy Morgan as Joey Gladstone (originated by Dave Coulier) because he's funny," Stamos continues.
And just because recasting the movie doesn't mean Stamos (a spokesperson for Project Cuddle, a charity to prevent infants from being abandoned) isn't tight with his former costars.
"We're all very close," he said. "I saw Ashley [Olsen] a couple weeks ago. Bob and Dave, I see a lot."
Many kudos for John and other stars with their involvement with Project Cuddle. Statistics show that 57 babies are abandoned every day. A noble cause by a noble guy. Continued on the next page
