Spike: The Movie

by Karina Longworth, posted Aug 24th 2005 1:20PM
Angel, the last vestige of the empire spawned by a certain failed Kristy Swanson vehicle from a decade back, has been off the air for almost a year and a half, and fans have been clamoring for some kind of revisitation of the Buffyverse ever since. Well, clamor no more – Tim Minear has confirmed that he's been hired to write and direct a TV movie for the WB. Though few details are available at this point, the film will follow Spike, the bleached-blonde reformed bad-boy vamp who terrorised Buffy, then loved her, then died, then came back so he could show up on Angel after the vampire detective agency merged with evil law firm Wolfram and Hart (it's all very complicated). James Marsters will reprise the role of Spike, but there's no word on whether or not he'll get any visits from any "special friends". It seems unlikely that the WB will be able to corral the big guns, as Sarah Michelle Gellar refused to pop up on Angel in its final season, and David Boreanaz has visibly aged just a little too much to play an eternal stud. But I think Wesley is available ...

Personally, I'd love to see a Spike/Illyria combo! Maybe toss in a little Giles and/or Andrew action. If Tim or Joss is reading out there, my storyline would go something like this: when Angel goes off to slay the dragon, he disappears, possibly into another dimension. No one knows. Maybe W&H know, maybe they are responsible for his disappearance, all we know is he isn't dead or Shanshu'd (some mystical thing would explain why we know this). The Slayer Brigade headed by Faith (if SMG is not available -- though in my dream she would be if only to tie up the remains of her relationship with Spike: Did she really mean it when she said "I love you," or didn't she? Is the Immortal a lover or a secret mission? And just what did happen in the basement that last night on Revello Drive?) Anyway they arrive like the calvary to help save the day and LA from the Apocalypse. When it's all over, Spike and Illyria decide to avenge Wes and Gunn's deaths by going after the Senior Partners themselves and also take on the mission of finding out what happened to Angel. Kinda sounds like the start of a whole new series to me...lotsa story potential in that rough outline, don'tcha think? :-)

I am excited about the Spike movie and all but I would much rather have a movie about Willow and Tara. Those two were and always will be the best characters. Not only that but the actresses are super nice in person. Joss should have done what he wanted to and made that episode where Buffy had one wish which she said she got a pair of shoes with but Willow asked her if she was serious as she was laying on the bed, but when she looked up there was Tara. That would have been the best.

Yes Angel movie starring Spike would be awesome!!! Anything to bring closure is what they should be doing. You should not give people a great series and get them all excited and then never bring any closure when they feel like ending it. Personally I think Angel or and Buffy could have had more season by far. But anything at this point would be cool!!

THIS IS AWESOME!!! I'm going crazy without my Buffyverse fix! James Marsters as Spike is amazing so, for one, am really looking forward to this! Side note: I would love to have a Faith movie too, just in case the PTB is listening!

Personally, I will love this, and so will my Buffy Bud:-P Oh, and Dave, even though Wes is dead, when you think about it, it appears you must be dead to lead a TV show in teh Buffy/Angel-verse
