The latest on the long-gestating spin-off telemovie
Near a year since it was initially rumoured/whispered/announced/muttered/speculated, there’s no still no signs of the much-hankered for “Buffy” spin-off telemovie, “Spike”, which would’ve seen James Marsters help increase the sales of KMS Color Vitality Blonde Treatment (again). So what’s the deal? Happening, or has it been as smoked as premium-priced ham?
Most say it’s not happening – because creator Joss Whedon is simply, too busy – whilst others say there’s still a chance. I’ll save my feelings for a soundproof concrete pipe on the matter…because frankly, nobody wants to hear my unrelenting Buffy-obsessed opinion on the matter.
Talking to IESB, the terribly busy writer/director said he’s “got no idea” whether the “Spike” movie will happen. “I’ve pretty much said everything I can on the subject, I’ve pitched it every way I can, and I’ve tried to work it…now I’ve just got to…wait”.
Ouch. Sounds like someone ‘else’ might have actually put a stop to said telemovie, hey?
