Buffy and Angel - Spike Television Movie 3: News & Speculation Here!

Scythe · 04-16-2006, 03:20 PM

Title speaks for itself... at the moment there's not much news going around about it at all.

elizas_dude · 04-19-2006, 06:40 AM

i wish the saying no news is gd news was true!

Ragnarok · 04-20-2006, 08:19 AM

The only thing I've heard is that the CW network definitely isn't looking to air one next year. Which isn't a surprise, since they have so many other problems to work out. So I guess it's straight to DVD or nothing, since JW seems to refuse to understand that there are other networks out there.

elizas_dude · 04-20-2006, 09:58 AM

what is up with that??? He just seems to give up! i mean i cant say that for definate because he could be working flat out on wonder women nd dosent have time atm! But im still remaing postive.

Personally a Spike movie..sounds a lot more interesting.

Ragnarok · 05-09-2006, 06:54 PM

I understand that the CW is going to unveil its fall lineup on Monday (May 15). I'm hoping they're greedy enough to stock the shelves with dumb UPN "comedies" and non-starters like Pepper Dennis. Because if they do, they'll be looking for new "product" a lot sooner than they think.

I am going mad over this. I keep hearing all this news about how there are plans to be one...but there is nothing official yet.

I would give anything for this movie?

Any plans to revisit Spike and the “Buffy”/“Angel” franchise?

[Pauses] I gotta say, I don’t really think that’s going to jump to Joss [Whedon]’s front burner. He asked me before and I said yes but that there would be a five-year window because of this age thing. We’re coming down to five years in about a year and a half. Joss never really found himself in Spike. Spike was always the other guy. Whereas all the other characters were really Joss, Spike was “that ain’t me, man.” It made for a cool outsider character. I’m not complaining at all.

Question: I may be holding on to a dream here, but have you found out anything more on the Spike movie situation? — Donna

Ausiello: "None. Zero. Zilch." Those were the words of my CW mole when I asked him/her whether there's been any talk of a Spike flick showing up on the new net next season.

April 25-Mercedes McNab interview with Chud.com promoting her new movie,"Hatchet" at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Q: Speaking of homecomings, there’s all the talk that goes around about a possible return to the Buffy and Angel universe in new shows, spin off movies, etc. Has Joss talked to you about that stuff?

McNab: There was talk for a long time about a Spike movie of the week, but that went out the window. I think Joss has probably moved on with Serenity and what not. It was a chapter in his life, and everybody else’s, and it’s time that it was closed.

The latest on the long-gestating spin-off telemovie...

Joss, what's up with Spike?
Posted by Clint Morris on May 10, 2006

Near a year since it was initially rumoured/whispered/announced/muttered/speculated, there’s no still no signs of the much-hankered for “Buffy” spin-off telemovie, “Spike”, which would’ve seen James Marsters help increase the sales of KMS Color Vitality Blonde Treatment (again). So what’s the deal? Happening, or has it been as smoked as premium-priced ham?

Most say it’s not happening – because creator Joss Whedon is simply, too busy – whilst others say there’s still a chance. I’ll save my feelings for a soundproof concrete pipe on the matter…because frankly, nobody wants to hear my unrelenting Buffy-obsessed opinion on the matter.

Talking to IESB, the terribly busy writer/director said he’s “got no idea” whether the “Spike” movie will happen. “I’ve pretty much said everything I can on the subject, I’ve pitched it every way I can, and I’ve tried to work it…now I’ve just got to…wait”.

Ouch. Sounds like someone ‘else’ might have actually put a stop to said telemovie, hey?

Scythe · 05-12-2006, 03:24 AM

Thanks for the catch up on all the news! It really seems like no-one has a clue about anything at the moment

*sigh*

elizas_dude · 05-12-2006, 05:44 AM

its annoying cause its normally the actors that wont come bk but in this case its the network!

Scythe · 05-12-2006, 09:40 AM

I know

I don't understand why they won't allow it to happen! There's enough of us fans out there!

FoolForLove · 05-13-2006, 02:18 PM

WHY can't he find another network?

MagnusXXN · 05-13-2006, 02:53 PM

Reads threat title, then promptly throws up.

I don't know if this was ever posted here but I just came across it and figured I'd post it:

New bit of news.

May 15-New Amy Acker comments from this weekends StarFury convention.

Acker: 'Angel' Spin-Offs Definitely Not Happening
Former "Angel" cast member talks about spin-off movies and the plan for season six.

(May 15 2006) - When “Angel” was cancelled after its fifth season, the show ended with a cliff-hanger as Team Angel prepared to go head to head with a massive hoard of demons in an epic confrontation. Since then, however, there have been rumors of a revival for the series -- stories of a possible sixth season, a tele-movie and there has also the idea of other spin-off projects. But nothing has been confirmed as getting the go ahead. Well, speaking to fans in London this weekend (including SyFy Portal’s Alan Stanley Blair), actress Amy Acker shed some light on the status of the proposed project.
“I think its safe to say that’s not happening anymore,” Acker told fans at the Starfury event, “'cause if they were, they’d be getting done right now. There was supposed to be three of them –- one for Spike, a Faith one and also one for Willow. I think it's safe to say that now because its not going to happen.”

But unlike many other shows that bite the dust, interest in the resurrection was not the problem as thanks to the various websites and the Save Angel campaign, the show proved it had a loyal following. Instead, Acker said, the projects never took off because “Fox couldn’t get it together the way Joss wanted to do them.”

Although Acker didn’t go into details about the difference in approaches between Fox and Whedon, the actress did give away some vital information as to what the plot could have been had they gone ahead or had there been a sixth season.

“I think it’s okay to say this now, since its not happening, but I think J (who plays Charles Gunn) was to be evil in it.” she said. “He was to become a vampire really early on in this really big battle.”

Actor J August Richards, who was also at the event, quickly confirmed that was the direction he always pictured character going.

“I’d probably have him come back as a vampire and then kill himself." Added Richards. "That’s always how I wanted it to end for my character.” - Article by Alan Stanley Blair
