From Joss's end, I really think we are going to get our Spike movie. (Now, James is the one who might be too busy...lol)
http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=21444 Big scoop came in earlier this week. Joss Whedon's been in town recently promoting SERENITY, and got to speaking with our new (and highly anonymous) scooper. "He told me that it's 99% likely (his words) that a new series of "Buffy" and "Angel" TV movies of the week will be happening soon. Spike will be the kick-off point followed by, hopefully, one with Illyria (sp), and Willow - depending on 'everyone's schedules, naturally'. In addition, he told me he'd like to get an unknown to play Wonder Woman, though Charisma Carpenter will 'at least get to test... she's got the look'. But yeah, I get the feeling he'll be flying the flag for a Brandon Routh-like newbie, one thing he did say was interesting though... something about fancying a tall Amazonian-type." Apparently Whedon also said something to the scooper about casting Michael J Fox to make WW look even taller. I'm not sure about that last one, though, sounds like a bit of a leg pull.
and this from the WASHINGTON POST:
For "Serenity," Whedon reunited his cast and much of his crew. Whether that will be repeated with his other series remains to be seen. Asked about rumors of "Buffy" or "Angel" being reborn as films, Whedon reports, "The Buffyverse hopefully will be open for business, but I'm not sure how or on what scale. Sometime in the next few months, I hope to make an announcement of some kind that will be pleasing to people."
