When will people realize that the Spike TV movie is just a rumor? Does Marsters have some of these reporters on his payroll to keep constantly bringing it up?

If it was real there would be things like a budget, filming schedule, and release date. It might happen. I might win the lottery.

I ain't holding my breath, but I don't see that it's completely outside the realm of possibility. At least not for another couple of years. They may have to film James through ten layers of cheesecloth to iron out those wrinkles, but right now I can buy that Joss is trying to get the ball rolling. I just want to see James play Harry Dresden.

True enough PF. I just don't get the payoff. I *understand* why Universal thought Serenity might be worth the while; but not a Spike movie which would cost upwards of $5 million and has IMHO no chance of paying off. I don't get why Fox would care. Sarah yeah cause well she's Buffy and you can book her on Leno what have you and there's your sell. James? I mean, really.

I guess I could see the case for a Spike movie if SciFi was going to show it. The WB really doesn't do TV movies, though. Unless they wanted to gauge whether there was interest for a series, which seems unlikely to me.

Jerry -- that was sort of my thought but even with Sci Fi IMHO budget crops up. Variety reported Lifetime's model only pays around $3 million for their ultra-cheap, shot in Canada with tax breaks movies, that budget out to $5 million and leave indie producers in the hole (majors like Fox declined). Euro market for them collapsed, and there's no German tax shelter money any more.

Never underestimate Joss's spin jobs and his buddies in high places.
