One of the most beloved characters to come from its seven seasons was everyone’s favorite platinum blonde haired vampire, Spike. He didn’t start off as a series regular he didn’t even appear until Season 2. Buffy's fight with the forces of darkness was a great metaphor for the struggles of adolescence.

↑ TV Guide - Boreanaz only wished to return to the Buffyverse for a theatrical film, August 2004.With the Dark Horse comics continuing the series and taking place after ' the end of Buffy and Angel', Whedon indicated that the Spike movie would take place around the same time.The cast would include James Marsters as Spike, Amy Acker as Illyria, and possibly Alyson Hannigan as Willow Rosenberg.Tim Minear would primarily write and direct with the support of Whedon.In June 2006, Joss Whedon also said that funding was a problem: 'There are certain characters I’ve been saving because I thought I might make movies about them, but that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. I think it's safe to say that now because its not going to happen”. There was supposed to be three of them –- one for Spike, a Faith one and also one for Willow. Amy Acker said at a convention in May of 2006 that the Spike movie would not be happening: “I think its safe to say that’s not happening anymore, cause if they were, they’d be getting done right now. In May 2006, outside the Saturn Awards, Whedon announced that he had pitched the concept to various bodies (which must include 20th Century Fox, since they own the rights to the fictional Buffyverse), but had yet to receive any feedback from those bodies. During March 2006, Whedon appeared on the UK TV Channel, MTV Screenplay, he announced he was still trying to get the Spike movie made. Since then Whedon has continued to pursue the Spike movie, and find interested parties that would air and/or produce the film led by Minear, and starring Marsters and Acker. But he knows, and you guys all know, the door is open any time that he wants to do that, for us to do that movie.' ĭavid Janollari, president of entertainment at The WB said in January 2006 that ' We'd love to do a Spike movie with Joss Whedon.' However, he added that ' Joss Whedon is busy, fast becoming a kind of a big feature filmmaker. Tim Minear revealed in late 2005 that “ I had lunch with Joss and he asked me if I wanted to write and direct some blond vampire movie thing”. Whedon mentioned he might interlink the Spike story with that, at the time, was yet to be told in Buffy comics he wrote for Dark Horse in 2007. He has said that Amy Acker would be a part of the movie, and if Alyson Hannigan was available she might appear. However, he has approached people and asked if they would be interested in participating in the Spike movie. Since 2004, Whedon has worked on other projects, such as Serenity, Wonder Woman, and Goners. Beyond that five years, he feared that it would no longer be believable that Marsters was portraying an immortal character. The same year he said that he would be willing to return to the Buffyverse if it were within five years. In May 2004, James Marsters, the actor who had portrayed the character Spike, revealed that there might be a possibility of a Spike movie. However, it was soon revealed that summer, that David Boreanaz, who had already played the character for eight years on television, would only return to his character for a theatrical release. After Angel was canceled in 2004, WB claimed an interest in Angel TV movies.
