Sounds like Amy Acker has delivered the final nail in the coffin for those
rumoured "Buffy" spin-off movies.
No Spike.
No Illyria.
No Willow
No Go.
No way FOX is going to win fans after this.
"I think its safe to say that's not happening anymore," Acker told fans at
the Starfury event, says SyFyPortal, "'cause if they were, they'd be
getting
done right now. There was supposed to be three of them -- one for Spike, a
Faith one and also one for Willow. I think it's safe to say that now
because
its not going to happen."
Acker said that FOX and creator Joss Whedon didn't see eye to eye on the
telemovies. "Fox couldn't get it together the way Joss wanted to do them."
J.August Richards, who played Gunn on "Angel", would have been in one of
the
telemovies - but his character would've been a villain. Yep, seems Angel's
law-abiding pal would've been turned.
"I think it's okay to say this now, since its not happening, but I think J
(who plays Charles Gunn) was to be evil in it." she said. "He was to
become
a vampire really early on in this really big battle."
Richards, adds "I'd probably have him come back as a vampire and then kill
himself." Added Richards. "That's always how I wanted it to end for my
character."
So bummed right now. So bummed.
