*reviews past wigs* No wigs PLEASE! Oooh idea! ;D A wig at first, and then Spike loses a bet to Angel and they shave it all off...... The RS Show all over again! "whack me!" ;D **WHACK** I'm not that far yet. I'd like to see Spike with the buzz cut, now that I think about it. ;D

Heh! Ask Ausiello, againQuestion: I think I am falling in love with you. I can't thank you enough for your efforts on this Spike movie (Ask Ausiello 3/23). Boy, you leave no stone unturned, do you? If this film ever gets made, I think you should not only show up in the credits, but a cameo would be cool. — Kathy
Ausiello: Hey, wanna be my agent? I'm looking for some new representation. Here are the terms: You get a .10 percent cut of any/all jobs you secure on my behalf. A Deadwood handshake will seal the deal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: Did Joss Whedon say anything about reviving Angel as a movie-of-the-week? — Chris
Ausiello: Yeah, but it seems that ship has sailed. These days, he's all about the Spikester. "The thing is, David Boreanaz has kind of gone to a new place," Whedon said. "He did the series for five years and the character for a couple of years before that [on Buffy], and the thing about a Spike movie that's different is, well, it's different. In the same way Angel was different than Buffy as a show because of the characters, Spike would be different as a subject and that's what makes it fresh. I don't want to try to recapture the essence of something that I've already done. I want to put a new spin on it."
He WANTS to put a new spin on it. He WANTS to do this! Um, let's hope James still does, lol. ;D

I might be the only one on here that thinks this but I don't really want this. To me Spike is over it was a chapter in James' life that has now closed. They say that SMG and DB has moved on. Well so has James he is capable of much more and IMO it should be just left to lie.

I'm half with you, half not, Twistie. Of course James can do more - he proved it before and after the two Jossverse shows - but if there was a good story to tell and it furthered Spike's character, I'd like to see it properly done. On the other hand, it would be great if he was finding too much other stuff that he found satisfying and challenging to do and therefore didn't have time. I'm good with either option

I'd posted the link to this poll in the BtVS section a coupla weeks ago, but the results seem more pertinent to this thread ;D Spike It! Sure, the shows were called Buffy and Angel, but the results of our recent Whedonverse Poll prove that it's Spikey--James Marsters--who has the never-say-die, die-hard following. Granted, I'm not surprised by the winner, given the postcards, emails, fruit baskets and flowers over the past months (I also just received bags of M&M candies with "James Rocks" printed on them and am currently nursing an overly yummified stomach).
That said, you know I'm going to show you the poll results, but before I do, I just want to say: These are the real numbers. No cheating. No tinkering. So, any of you still harboring conspiracy theories from our Save One Show poll can rest assured. More than 36,000 of you voted, and you said these are the top 10 characters you'd most like to see in a Whedonverse spinoff:
1. Spike (James Marsters) 42% 2. Faith (Eliza Dushku) 21% 3. Willow (Alyson Hannigan) 8% 4. Illyria (Amy Acker) 6% 5. Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) 5% 6. Xander (Nicholas Brendon) 4% 7. Wesley (Alexis Denisof) 3% 8. Connor (Vincent Kartheiser) 2% 9. Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) 2% 10. Tara (Amber Benson) 1%
Anya (Emma Caulfield) also earned one percent, but garnered fewer votes than Tara; and Lorne (Andy Hallett), Dawn (Michelle Trachtenberg), the Geek Trio (Danny Strong, Tom Lenk and Adam Busch) and Gunn (J. August Richards) all pulled in less than one percent of the total.
Meanwhile, James is waiting (as I mentioned a couple weeks back when we posted the poll), ready and willing to do anything Spike-alicious as long as it's within the next five years); Eliza Dushku is also free (even though Tru Calling came back this week, it's still officially canceled): Alyson Hannigan is bouncing from show to pilot to pilot and, clearly, looking for a permanent home; and Amy--even though she's a new mother and was recently cast in a CBS pilot--should be easy enough for Joss to wrangle, since she's invited to Sunday night Shakespeare readings at his house.
So, after Serenity hits the big screen, we can only presume (with fingers and toes and eyeballs crossed) that the Whedonverse will swing back into action with a spinoff, telepic or movie, starring one Mr. James Marsters (among others, naturally).
Pretty please, Joss? With extra-delicious M&M sprinkles on top?
Watch With Kristen

Personally, the more good stuff there is out there with James in the better. Then I can feed my addiction more readily. ;D

Ask Ausiello If you hop over to the Other Jossverse Projects section you'll find an interview with da man where he is very enthusiastic about getting back into the groove, too.

*sigh* USA Today - Robert Bianco Bloomington, Il: Hi Robert, Any news on the possibility of a movie about Spike from the 'Angel' series? Could this happen? All us Buffyverse geeks would watch!
Robert Bianco: No, maybe, and yeah - me included.

In an extract for a Guide interview (about comics, really) with Joss: www.tvguide.com/news/insider/050621a.aspYou've had every chance, young man! Comics are fine and dandy, but not like the real thing. Grrr.
