Personally?

[sombrefan]

I'd rather see an Angel TV movie instead of a Spike one. Spike has always been a supporting character for me, a mirror to get a better look at Buffy or Angel. Try as I might, I can't get excited about watching him in a TV movie.

*sighs* I just want to see Angel shanshu.

I think whoever they do a movie about will depend more on economic reality

SMG seems to enjoy being Mrs. Freddie Prinze, Jr. whenever she isn't doing major studio productions.

Boreanaz has a couple of movie projects going.

Alyson Hannigan- movies again.

ASH, working on various British productions, I understand.

Nicholas Brendon- a supporting role in an upcoming TV pilot. If it gets picked up and is a hit, he's in clover. If not... well, there are also rumors of a Xander TV-movie.

Eliza Dushku- At liberty since "Tru Calling" was cancelled. Hence the rumor of a Faith TV-movie.

Alexis Denisof- Wesley's dead.

Amy Acker- Nobody wants to see an Illyria movie. Ditto for Gunn. Sorry, J. August Richards. You seem like a nice guy, and I wish you much luck in the future.

Finally- James Marsters. 1)Spike, for whatever reason, was insamely popular. I think a lot of this comes from the passion JM brought to the role, but I can't discount his looks. 2)JM, despite having talent to burn, is over 40, and is essentially dead to Hollywood. In the year since Angel's cancellation he's done 2 projects: a guest spot on "The Mountain," that was clearly an attempt to bring the Buffy fans to the yard, and a made-for-TV movie, "Cool Money," which he did very well in, but appeared to have all the production values of your average kid's birthday video. 3)If the WB greenlights a Buffy-verse movie (kind of a big if, but if they can't re-new "7th Heaven" the next time contracts come due, they might try anything) and if Joss/Mutant Enemy is interested (depends on if the "Serenity" movie does well, primarily, also a big if) then JM is the only one who has affirmed publicly he'd like to do a TV-movie.

Which is why if there is a Buffy-verse movie in the next three years, the smart money is on Spike. After three years, the variables are too unpredictable. Boreanaz could be begging for work, and JM may be too busy, in which case all the above bones are rolled again (except Amy Acker. I don't think there will ever be demand for an Illyria movie.)

If you could promise me she'd die a painful death, à la Warren, I'd watch an Illyria movie.
