Lauren Conrad has bigger plans for The Hills. The reality-tv star has mentioned in a video-interview with MTV that she thinks a Hills movie could work.



The Hills is a guilty pleasure of mine. The show is ripped straight out of a bad tabloid but I get a kick out of it, no matter how obviously staged it appears to be. The girls aren't the brightest of the bunch and watching them attempt problem solving is always an enjoyable experience. The Hills definitely has its flaws and is by no means a great reality-tv series (are there any?), I just enjoy shutting my brain off every so often and taking it in.

However, I would like to think that a film adaptation of The Hills wouldn't work. First off, reality TV will never be a hit at the cinema and I, for one, would refuse to go watch 90 minutes of The Hills on the big-screen. I go to the theatre as an escape from reality or for an adventure in storytelling, not for four chicks bickering over a wonky curling iron. Second, I don't see The Hills having a big enough fan-base to make an impact at the box-office. There are quite a few fans of the show but not enough to swarm theatres upon release. On the flipside, I'm sure shooting a show like The Hills is dirt cheap and a movie wouldn't require too much funding either.

While I think it's a bad idea I'm sure die-hard Hills fans would love to see a movie adaptation. What do you guys think? Is a Hills movie the way to go? Post a comment and let me know what you think.

Cheers.
