Looks like we might be seeing a familiar bloodsucker back on the frog
soon.
Both Joss Whedon and James Marsters, creator and co-star of "Angel",
respectively, have long expressed an interest in bringing bottle-blonde
vampire Spike back to screens in a telemovie - and by the sounds of it,
it's going to [finally] happen.
Whedon announced at Wizard World over the weekend that he's very keen
to do an "Angel" spin-off - with the character of 'Spike' the chap
he'll most likely be concentrating on - and it got a great reception
from those in attendance.
Ausiello over at TV Guide talked to both WB entertainment president
David Janollari, and Whedon, who sounded keener than a Olympian around
water to dive straight into it.
"I have given it more thought since you brought it up. It's certainly
something that I continue to get many fan letters and e-mails about,
and it's something that we discuss a lot around here. But no decision
has been made", the WB head-honcho tells the reporter.
Whedon seemed optimistic. "I'm really for it, but I have never really
spoken to David Janollari," he said. "I occasionally would bring it up
with [execs at 20th Century] Fox, and they'd be like, 'Yeah, that would
be cool.' And I'm like, 'Who do we need to talk to?' And then nothing
has really happened. I've been really busy in post [-production] on
Serenity and haven't been able to get the wheels turning, but I
definitely intend to investigate it."
Whedon says he doesn't necessarily need to write or direct the "Spike"
telemovie, so the WB can pretty much getting go on it as soon as they
want. "[Spike] is not necessarily something that I would write and
direct myself," he suggested. "I have a lot of brilliant friends who
worked with me for many years who might be able to take the helm -
somebody who both James [Marsters] and I would trust."
Whedon says his idea for the "Spike" telemovie isn't a prequel. "For
me, Spike is a very contemporary guy," he said. "It's sort of what
distinguished him from Angel."
Fingers crossed - it could be the first smart move The WB has made
since greenlighting "Angel" all those years back.

the Spike telemovie. From what I gather that's more or less because he
was the actor willing to do it of all the ones they'd wanted to do.
As far as the season is concerned, I think they pretty much ended
things with Angel in series 5, and Spike was in that one.
