tv shows dont create serial killers cancelling tv shows does- Scary Movie
For clips of James Marsters and Amber Bensons movie chance you can go to this site http://mydp.com/features/chance/
I just read in next week's Tv guide
that James is gonna do a movie called "William the Bloody" for WB. Things aren't 100% for sure yet, but they said it's pretty
much in the bag.
James Marsters' new CD is called Civilized Man and the cover is awsome check it out on his site jamesmarsters.com
Today I found out that the Pierre Heist will air on March 19 on the USA network so write that down on your calendars***This
time its definate and so far I have heard great reviews.
I went to birthdatabase.com (a website that you can search birthdays on) who say that their information comes from official
government records and I decided to search James Marsters. This is what came up, James W. Marsters born on August 20, 1962
in Modesto CA. So I guess this is the best source for James' actual year of birth!
This has nothing to do with Angel news but I thought you might find this funny......
Paris: How do I look?
Rory: Where are you going?
Paris: Putting myself out there.
Rory: Right now? its 11 o clock at night
Paris: So?
Rory: Who are you expecting to run into? Spike and Drusilla?
Well, here you have it. All of it. Seven years of painstaking work, of pain and creation, of wit, confusion, strength,
compromise and achievement... of me, dreaming of nightmares.
To say that Buffy has been the greatest, most difficult
and rewarding experience of my career thus far would actually be to undersell its significance. It represents the best work
(again, so far) of so many talented people I can't possibly name them all here. David Greenwalt and Marti Noxon, who ran the
show with me are more responsible for its shape and terrible beauty than I ever intend to give them credit for, do spring
to mind. But so many great writers, actors and crew labored beyond the beyond to make this show happen that it extended, as
true art does, beyond my reach. This show ran me, not the other way around. It told me what to say, what to show, when to
give comfort and when to draw blood. This show, seven years of it, is a living thing. Put it on your shelf, and go to bed.
It'll whisper to you in your sleep.
Joss Whedon
Here is more info on what James is working on. Steve Himber (James' Management) wrote, that the name of James' new movie
is "The Pierre Heist". "pierre jewel heist, the" (usa) original telefilm
status: telefilm greenlighted
what's it about? (from USA's press release) A thief from the age of six, Bobby Comfort bounced in and out of prison for
years. When he turns twenty-two, Bobby finally settles down and starts a family, determined to lead a calmer life. Bobby,
however, soon is lured back into the only profession he knows, agreeing to help a friend rob a string of high-end New York
City hotels. When their forays prove extremely lucrative, Comfort once again embraces his talent for crime. While his unsuspecting
family believes he is traveling for business, Bobby and his partner are having the time of their lives conning wealthy socialites,
culminating in the largest jewel heist in American history. This film is currently in pre-production.
who's in it? no casting information is available
who's making it? stan brooks ("call me: the rise and fall of heidi fleiss"), john fasano ("darkness falls"), shelley
evans, joel rice
The Bensons are going to be sending a CD of two of Amber's orginal songs as a thank you to everyone who has purchased
a Triangle Tara action figure. Amber is recording two tracks in the studio with Aaron (composer for Chance) right now.
Joss Whedon answered these questions at high stakes
Q:
You said that the Angel finale was not a cliffhanger. If the last episode of Angel had Angel, Spike, Illyria, and Gunn
literally hanging from a cliff, would you consider that a cliffhanger? What actually would you consider a cliffhanger in your
world?
A:
If they were all hanging from a cliff, I would probably call it a cliffhanger -- unless, of course, I had
started the show with all of them hanging from a cliff. The fact of the matter is, the reason I always maintained that the
end of Angel was not a cliffhanger, even though we don't ultimately know the fates of the people involved, is that the message
of that show was very simply, you have to keep fighting.
And once again, there is no more relevant message for what we
are here for today than that. You have to keep fighting. One thing about this country, you never get to sit back and just
let things happen. When you do that, well, we all see what you get. You have to keep fighting every single day to make things
better if you want to call yourself a moral, decent, responsible person. It's extremely hard, and that is the story that I
was telling. If I had ended it by explaining what happened to everybody, I would have been untrue to that message. Therefore,
I don't consider that a cliffhanger.
However, if you like, I can tell you. Gunn pretty much dies, Illyria lives, Spike
got the Shanshu, Angel gets his arm cut off, and Xander loses another eye which is weird because he wasn't even there.
And
Q:
A Spike question now. I think Spike represents a tortured independent voter, following his instinct vs. reason.
If Spike were eligible to vote in the presidential race, who would he vote for, and why?
A:
(thoughtfully) Who would
Spike vote for? Let's talk a little bit about Spike. He is so hot. [laughter] Spike is an interesting character for me because
I secretly always felt that he was a tad more involved as a human being than Angel was, Angel having had humanity thrust upon
him, whereas Spike actively sought it out.
However, to say who he would vote for is a little tough, because although he
is a decent, responsible person, he loves to fight. And if he doesn't have somebody to fight against, he will get cranky,
he might just want to be ornery. He might think that people have been so lackadaisical and so apathetic that they deserve
four more years of George Bush. He has a wicked sense of humor. So I couldn't really say who he'd vote for. Maybe Nader.
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - David Boreanaz is looking to return to series television. The former star of the WB
Network's "Angel" is set to star in an ABC drama about an undercover cop in the world of murder for hire. The show has received
a script commitment from the network. Patrick Smith Kelly ("Don't Say a Word") is writing the script.
Boreanaz recently
completed the indie films "Mr. Fix It" and "The Hard Easy." He is filming another indie, "These Girls."
James is going to be recording a solo album where he hopes to be writing nine out of the ten songs. It should be released
by March 2005
Choose your own adventure Buffy books to appear. Two Buffy "interactive novels" are scheduled to appear next year, in
new series Stake Your Destiny. The Suicide King by Robert Joseph Levy and Keep Me In Mind by Nancy Holder let the reader choose
how the story progresses, and each have over a dozen different possible endings. The books, due out in March and May next
year, feature cover designs based on the style of the new Buffy Animated Series.
“I had an awesome birthday and want to thank all of my fans who sent me so many good wishes and gifts (you shouldn’t
have!). I think this is going to be an amazing year and all your love and support certainly is the best way to start it. You
all rock!” James
Many fans have written to let us know that an award given to James is being auctioned on E-Bay. James and his business
associates are very upset to learn that a valued and much appreciated award was taken from his personal trailer without his
knowledge and is now being offered on E-Bay. Please do not help support people who are profiting from unscrupulous acts. Thank
you. - Steve Himber
Thankfully he is getting a replacemnt.
Rooty Tooty Spike and Fruity: Angel fans, you never cease to amaze me. Though the show is long gone, and we have nothing left
but our anger at the WB to cling to, you've still managed to turn it around and do something positive. (Omarosa could learn
a thing or two from you.)
This week, I received my very first fruit basket from the fruitcakes (I say that lovingly) at Support Spike, along with a
12-inch-tall collectible doll that is making this a one-handed column as we speak--I cannot bear to release my kung-fu grip
on wittle Spikey.
The fan publicity kits were sent to the WB, Mutant Enemy (Joss Whedon's production company), Fox Studios and a few press types
like moi. Their mission: stir up support for a Spike-centered event movie or spinoff series.
And I have only one word to say about that--Please?
Now, the good news. According to sources at the Frog net, WB boss Garth Ancier is still pushing for the WB to do at least
one Angel TV movie this season, possibly a few, focusing on individual characters. Since David Boreanaz is not expected to
sign on, I'm told James Marsters (Spike) is getting "the most buzz."
To all fans of the band Ghost of the Robot,
After two great years of music making and touring I have decided to dissolve the band Ghost of the Robot. This was not an
easy decision to make but one that was thought out thoroughly with consideration to you, the amazing fans and my amazing band
mates. There are no bad feelings or creative differences that lead to this decision. I have always given 100% of myself to
my craft and I felt that the band and the fans would suffer now that I will be devoting all my time to new film and television
projects since “Buffy” and “Angel” are no longer in production. Please know how much I have appreciated
everyone’s support of me and of the band. I hope that you will continue to support me in my future film and television
projects. This decision will not affect me participating in or attending any conventions. I love the feedback I get from my
fans and look forward the next time I see you.
All my best,
James Marsters
Garth Ancier, chairman of The WB network, confirmed to SCI FI Wire that the network has approached Angel creator Joss Whedon
about doing a telefilm version of the canceled television series, about a vampire with a soul. "[We] have an offer on the
table to Joss to do movies," Ancier said during the network's fall press preview in Los Angeles. "When Joss and David Boreanaz
are both interested in doing it at the same time, I'm sure we will be doing Angel movies. Certainly Joss would like to. David
will take a bit more coaxing, but I think he will do it." Ancier later attributed the cancellation of the series, which ended
a five-year run on The WB last May, to pressure from producer 20th Century Fox Television for a quick answer as to the show's
renewal. "They had pushed for an early decision on whether the show should come back or not," Ancier said. "Had they not pushed
for the early renewal, or, conversely, if we had said, 'You know what? Let's wait till we get to the scheduling room in May
and decide then,' ... the show may or may not have been back. But I think we would have had that opportunity to discuss it.
I think the mistake that was made is that between us and 20th, we didn't wait until May. We just made the decision early based
upon their request."
The following is from Eonline located on http://www.eonline.com/Gossip/Kristin/Archive2004/040724.html ...............Angelic
Words: First, the good news. I spoke with Garth Ancier, the new CEO of the WB, and he says he's committed to trying to bring
Angel back in teleflick form. When I asked if he agreed with the decision to cut Angel loose, he replied: "I wasn't there.
I don't know what choices the network really had in terms of new programming. But I certainly recognize and appreciate the
loyal fan base of that show. We've had serious conversation to do some Angel movies, and that's a definite way to go, as long
Joss Whedon and David Boreanaz ultimately feel that they want to embrace that as well." According to insiders, the movies
could each focus on one of the characters, seeing what happened to them after we last left off--possibly because David might
not be as willing as the other castmembers. I asked Ancier if he thinks this will actually happen. "Probably...I think so,"
he answered. "I haven't had a conversation with the creative forces yet, but I'm hopeful that will happen. I think the fans
would love it. The show was great quality, and I don't know the specifics of why it's back or not, but if there's a way to
keep it alive for the huge fan base, that would be great."
Also stated on Eonline about the emmy noms was, First up, we simply must address the Emmy noms, some of which left my jaw
scraping the floor of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Thursday a.m. (wee, wee a.m.). Not only did we see an
ungodly amount of obscene snubbery this year--Scrubs (again!), Nip/Tuck (what the?) and Angel (no respect!)--we also saw some
incredibly surprising (read: bizarre) nominees. Bonnie Hunt beat out Debra Messing. James Spader beat out Michael Chiklis.
Mariska Hargitay beat out Marg Helgenberger.

The following poll is according to a poll on eonline found at http://www.eonline.com/Gossip/Kristin/Archive2004/040709.html
Right now I will only paste the Angel winners Star You'll Miss the Most 30.96% James Marsters (Spike), Angel 25.38% Matthew
Perry (Chandler), Friends 23.61% Jennifer Aniston (Rachel), Friends 12.65% David Boreanaz (Angel), Angel 7.39% David Hyde
Pierce (Niles), Frasier

9.20% Rob proposing to Amber, Survivor: All-Stars
Suprising Angel didn't get an emmy nod. Those stuffy old people who pick
these nominees dont look at the quality of a show just the ratings and whether or not it won in the previous year this is
wrong Angel had a great year and gots nothing to show for it except for re-runs(hopefully). I mean nobody noticed this show
came on how could you forget Smile Time, You're Welcome or hellbound this season they rocked and it is about time someone
noticed.
