I personally think that the whole notion is somewhat of a bad idea for all concerned. It wouldn't be a huge moneymaker, and what purpose does reviving Spike and the Buffyverse as a whole serve (by the time its life support failed, I was more than ready to pull the plug)?

I actually thought this movie, would make some money. Since there was so many Buffy and Angel fans. Plus most of the fans wanted a Spinoff of Spike or a movie.

I don't think I would definitively say "most of the fans" want that. A good number of internet fans would be happy with that (and quite a few wouldn't), but the general public at large who watched the show and isn't obsessed with JM or the verse at all probably wouldn't rush right out to buy it. They might've tuned in if they weren't busy if it was on TV, but paying money for it - I doubt it.

That's true, maybe its better not to have a movie and let the Buffyverse actors do something else in there career. Besides doing something related to Buffy or Angel.

You forgot the last word, "There will be no Spike movie, yet."

It's coming, Joss will not be deterred from his path of stupidity.

Update

here's what Wrongda wrote in E!...
http://www.eonline.com/Gossip/Kristi...5/050722b.html
Quote:
"I hear there might be a Spike movie," Aly said, "which I think would be the logical character to start with, but I think there's more opportunity for the Angel crew, not the Buffy crew. Joss has talked about different things, and I think the last thing I heard him say was a straight-to-DVD-type movie."
So this is very, very different to what Wrongda claimed AH said....

And after posting the news she checked the information (that is not the right order to do the things, righ?

Quote:
Salivating that this might be the project to which James Marsters has been alluding as "in the works," I begged a friend at Fox studio for the skinny. But alas, no dice. "I can tell you there is no Buffyverse movie happening right now," she says. "At least, not at 20th Century Fox. Joss is very busy."

I, too, have heard the rumors flying around that James' next project might be Smallville, but a WB rep tells: "A huge guest star is coming up on show but not [James]. You'll find out at TCA." (And by the time you read this, you'll probably already know.) I'm also told by another source that the WB did offer to do a few Angel movies-of-the-week at the time the series was canceled, but Joss declined the offer.


Yes, Wrongda did it again!!!!!!!!!!!

So, according to Wrongda *pinch salt*, Joss turned down Angel MOW offers. So it wasn't a case of the WB talking out of both sides of their mouths but, rather, Joss who essentially ended the Angelverse prospects on TV. Interesting.

Sounds like someone is playing Spin Dr.

I actually think that may be a good decision on Joss' part. He may be at a point in his career where he needs to show that he's more than a one trick pony.

Oh I agree it was a good decision. But he was the one espousing the possibility of MOWs to appease all the fans' screams of WB "foul" at the cancellation, so it's interesting to hear they actually did make the offer only for him to turn it down.

Don't want to start a new thread. But there's a long article about "Serenity" and how it might follow "Star Trek"'s footsteps.

Whedon Flock Ready For "Firefly" Resurrection

Quote:
In October, when Universal's co-president of marketing, Eddie Egan, booked a routine rough-cut preview in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley, he was amazed by the explosive response from the research-screening recruits who were clearly rabid "Firefly" fans. He wanted to know just how they had learned about the screening.

It turned out that one fan had identified the movie and tipped off her entire "Firefly" community (known as "browncoats") with one Internet post. Some of them had driven from Arizona and Seattle, Egan says. Universal, deciding that it had something bigger than it thought, pushed the action adventure off of its spring lineup and into the fall.
Wow. Look how they spin!

All in all...meh.

Correct me if I'm wrong on this one, but hasn't Whedon said over and over that FOX not himself owns Buffy, and they could put anyone they wanted on the project? Back when the show was running? So wouldn't that make Wrongda, I dunno, wrong? Hehehe.

Hmmm ... yep the Koolaide drinkers in force. Fireflop is running on Sci-Fi, can't believe how bad it is. I wonder if the movie will reach the sci-fi heights of Pluto Nash.

Any Buffyverse project done without Joss would almost certainly fail, so even if he does not have legal control over it, he has practical control over it.

I don't think Joss has ever wanted to make TV movies. I think he just occasionally pays lip service to wanting to in order to appease the fans who still want some.
