Making sense of the Angel rumours
Posted on Wed, 12-May-2004

According to Aint it Cool, news about "Angel" moving to NBC might have been
a bit premature. The site contacted an anonymous source who shed some light
on the situation. "I wish it were true, but it's a steaming pile of BS. The
sets have been struck, the writers are on new shows, etc. Joss is very
focused on SERENITY which starts shooting in three weeks."

There is good news though. James Marsters recently told reporters that that
he could be spraying the hair white again for a 'Spike' Spin-off. We heard
from a reliable source overnight who backed up this one.

"It's about the only thing that's likely to happen at this stage. Marsters
is pretty keen to keep on being Spike. You can't blame, it's a cool
character. They're looking at shaping the telemovies around him, only
because Boreanaz isn't that interested, not because Spike's the more
appealing option."

According to 'Tabasco', the telemovie might happen before the end of the
year - but not as early as September as previously rumoured. "Best case
scenario for everyone: telemovies go off, Spike gets a series. Whedon's
taking a break at the moment though, so don't expect anything official for a
couple of months".

Meanwhile, J.August Richards ['Gunn'] is testing for a plum role movie role,
according to his official site.

Big G'day to the gang at SaveAngel.Org by the way, you've done a top job.
And thanks to 'Simon' for the note.

Sweeps Day 13: ANGEL?? On NBC?? Ha ha ha ha!! Ha!!
I am - Hercules!!
Please stop with the writing about "Angel" coming to NBC. NBC? Cancelled
"Star Trek"! Not going to air anything as cool as "Angel," ever!
It was a very very fakey post, from somebody claiming to have some
connection to NBC, but Dark Horizons apparently posted a link to it, which
means every human being on the planet who ever read Dark Horizons (Hi Garth!
Thanks!) emailed the Herc about it over the last 12 hours.
So I asked someone intimately familiar with the situation, a good man or
woman who was decent enough to speedily reply:
Herc -

I wish it were true, but it's a steaming pile of BS. The sets have been
struck, the writers are on new shows, etc.

Joss is very focused on SERENITY which starts shooting in three weeks.

Best,

[Someone Intimately Familiar With The Situation]

Okay, but since you're here already, you are hereby rewarded with some real
"Angel" news, kinda:
You all know that finale-co-writing/directing "Angel" vet Jeff Bell is
transferring over to "Alias" next season, yes? Well, ol' "Intimately
Familiar With The Situation" also reveals that "Buffy"/"Angel" superstar
Drew Goddard (he co-wrote that last, brilliant Italy-set episode) is also
migrating to "Alias"! So look for "Alias" to become perhaps the best show
ever next season!
Another "Angel" superstar, Liz Craft (she and her superstar pard, Sarah
Fain, wrote the five-star "Underneath," aired a couple Wednesdays ago),
recently mentioned in passing that the distaff scribe duo would be hooking
up with the next season of FX's "The Shield." (Which is masterminded by yet
another "Angel" vet, Shawn Ryan.)
I am - Hercules!!
