FNL Movie a No-Go

Tim Riggins keeps breaking our hearts: Taylor Kitsch says he'll never do Friday Night Lights movie

Texas forever? I guess not, Tim Riggins.

Ever since the best show ever (a.k.a. NBC's Friday Night Lights) ended in 2011, fans have been eager for news about a possible movie. This is, of course, not referring to the first movie (based on H.G. Bissinger's 1990 classic book about the 1988 Permian High School Panthers from Odessa, Texas) on which the television show was based, but the second movie that would be based on the television show by the same name. (It's confusing.)

"I'm never gonna be in that movie," Kitsch told Vulture. "There was already a movie! And the show ended fuckin' spot-on. We're good."

After news broke that Tami Taylor had a copy of the Peter Berg-produced FNL movie script in her possession, fans were ecstatic. Finally, we could find out if Tim Riggins built that house! If Matt and Julie ever got married! If Landry was ever indicted for that murder in season two! (Okay, bit of misstep, but it worked out.) But it has all come crashing down.

First, Berg told Collider.com, "There’s not gonna be a movie. We talked about it, some people thought it was a good idea, some didn’t; I’ve come to believe it’s probably not a good idea, and I seriously doubt it’s gonna happen."

Okay, so maybe Berg lost hope, but we certainly haven't, right? Wrong. On Monday, Taylor Kitsch, the dreamiest of the dreamboats himself (not editorializing, just stating facts), discussed the FNL movie with New York's Vulture blog, saying, "No, period. I'm not doing it. I'm never gonna be in that movie. There was already a movie! And the show ended fuckin' spot-on. We're good."

For the record, Kyle Chandler — who played Coach Eric Taylor — has pretty much always said the movie was a no-go.

This is so depressing. If you need me, I'll be at the Alamo Freeze.

Guns N' Roses mount spring-summer 2026 tour with a stop in Arlington

GNR

Guns N' Roses 2025

After a sprawling 2025 world tour that hit Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America, rock icons Guns N’ Roses return to the road in spring and summer 2026 — a tour will make two stops in Texas: Globe Life Field in Arlington on September 9, and Alamodome in San Antonio on September 16.

With previously announced appearances at festivals in Mexico, Brazil, and the UK, the 31-date tour will feature an EU leg with performances in Poland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and France, before GNR returns to North America for a run traversing the United States and Canada. The tour will also include a special performance at LA’s Rose Bowl, marking a historic return to the venue for the first time in more than 30 years. Tickets are available at gunsnroses.com.

A pre-sale begins on Wednesday, December 3 at 10 am. Sign up here by Monday, December 1 at 10:59 pm CST. No codes are needed – access is tied to Ticketmaster, and anyone who signs up can join the sale. Nightrain Fan Club members will have first access to tickets globally. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale. A variety of different VIP packages will include premium tickets, behind-the-scenes tour, pre-show VIP Lounge, and limited edition merchandise.

In conjunction with the Nightrain Fan Club Presale, Guns N’ Roses will release two new songs: “Nothin” and “Atlas” via Geffen Records on Tuesday December 2. Marking their first releases since 2023, these new songs join “The General” and “Perhaps” as vital additions to setlists, which will otherwise feature classic hits and deep cut fan favorites from GNR’s early catalogue.

The announcement arrives days after Guns N’ Roses released their Live Era ‘87-’93 boxset, a limited pressing with remastered audio and revamped art that documents GNR in their younger days.

The current lineup includes Axl Rose (vocals, keyboards), Duff McKagan (bass), Slash (lead guitar), Dizzy Reed (keyboard), Richard Fortus (rhythm guitar), Isaac Carpenter (drums), and Melissa Reese (keyboard).
