Titolo: Buffy/Angel TV Film Possibile?

Laz, c'è anche una mininews su Wonderfalls.
The WB has approached Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel creator Joss
Whedon about doing at least a movie-of-the-week or two and possibly as many
as six next season, thanks in large part to a fan campaign organized by
Saving Angel, E! Online's Watch With Kristin column reported. But the
columnist added that, despite Herculean efforts by fans to save the
canceled vampire show, Angel won't be coming back as a regular series,
either on the frog network or on UPN or Fox, which have both passed.
"I think a Buffy movie is more likely to happen now," Angel cast member
James Marsters (Spike) told the columnist. "And they may be given better
budgets, seeing this kind of interest, because there's a feeling that
there's a guaranteed audience. So the effort that I've seen, it is not in
vain."
Meanwhile, E! Online reported that The WB executives have decided to review
an episode of Fox's canceled fantasy series Wonderfalls along with its
pilots, which means it is in the running for a fall-season pickup.

'Angel' fans try like the devil to save show

For Angel fans, cancellation was only the beginning.
Aficionados of WB's vampire drama are fueling a particularly well-organized
and well-financed version of what has become a periodic ritual: a
fan-driven attempt to save a show on the brink of cancellation - or in this
case, over the brink.
"It'll go on as long as there are still fans out there who want to support
it," says Theresa Fortier, 32, of Salisbury, Mass., an organizer of the
SavingAngel.org Web site. Angel kicked off its final stretch of episodes
Wednesday.
Despite the announced cancellation in February, Fortier says more than 600
Saving-Angel devotees have contributed nearly $40,000 toward efforts to
save the show, a Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff from fan favorite Joss
Whedon. Two online petitions have garnered 140,000 signatures. In addition
to a postcard campaign, some of the tactics have included:
  A billboard truck that traveled to WB, various studios and networks
proclaiming, "We'll follow Angel to hell . . . or another network."
  Two thousand chocolate bars wrapped with the "Save Angel" slogan sent to
WB, producing studio 20th Century Fox Television and others.
  A fan rally March 31 outside WB offices in Burbank, Calif., along with
ads in Hollywood trade papers.
Fans also are in the process of trying to buy an ad in TV Guide.
Canceled shows being resurrected is rare. But WB says it won't reverse its
decision, and no other network is trying to pick up the show.
Executive producer Jeffrey Bell, who this week is directing the finale,
praises the fans and says they have shown similar zeal over the life of the
show. "It's tremendous," he says.

Magari! Ma mi pare assurdo... la WB alla riscossa? Ma su che pianeta? Mah...
