James wants to make a Spike-movie! Plus: Wonder Woman!
A new "Ask Ausiello" with some Whedon-related stuff. James Marsters talks about a Spike-movie and a well-known actress is a favorite for "Wonder Woman". |
 Question: I think a Spike TV-movie would be great! — Teri
Ausiello: So, apparently, does James Marsters. In his first interview since I pitched WB president David Janollari the idea of doing a Spike telepic, the 42-year-old actor told my colleague, Ben Katner, that he's game for resurrecting his soulful Buffyverse counterpart "as long as I could do it within, say, the next four or five years; past that, I'm too old. Spike's a vampire, man, and I've got high standards — you have to believe that the guy has not aged since we met him. There's a little poetic license, but I don't want to get into a situation where the script says, 'Well, he was drinking pig blood and he aged,' you know? [Whatever Joss Whedon wrote] would be funnier than that — it would be delightful — but it would be taking away the coolest thing about a vampire, which is that he's iconic... he does not change." OK, Mr. Janollari — the ball is in your court.
Question: Jessica Biel as Wonder Woman (Entertainment News 2/22)? Seriously? I guess Joss Whedon doesn't want it to be a good movie. Lauren Graham would have been perfect. Is it too late? — Lindsay
Ausiello: Actually, I'm told that Jessica is actually producer Joel Silver's first choice — not Joss'. I'm hearing Mr. Whedon's wish list looks a little different — which would explain why he has yet to officially sign on as the pic's writer/director. And no, it's not too late to push for Lauren.
Question: When will Tru Calling be back on? The show hasn't been yanked, has it? — Mary
Ausiello: I wondered what happened to you guys. I was beginning to worry.
