The MediasharX Web site reported rumors that The WB will order several standalone TV movies based on the canceled vampire series Angel, including a two-hour movie that will air tentatively in September. Citing an anonymous source, the site added that the film will be the first of a series of new telefilms that will tie in with the events of the series' final episode, which is slated to air in May.

Eliza Dushku is rumored to be in talks to appear in the telemovies as Faith, the site reported. Dushku currently headlines the Fox TV series Tru Calling, whose fate remains up in the air.

I'm unsure whether this will be good news or bad. I mean this last series has been really good, and I would love the show to keep on running, but will it translate well as 1-2hr tv movies?

It's difficult to say. These stories are perfect for the 40-45 minute format. Look at Star Trek - it's rarely, if ever, worked as a two hour movie. The Babylon 5 movies never really did much. I think I'd rather they made a shortened, say 10 or 12 episode season, than this.

maybe they can get round it by treating the movies like 2 parter episodes, but that would make it about 85 mins so scrap that. The way I'm looking at it, Angel TVM's are better than no Angel at all :D

I think you just summed it up nicely Persephone!!!

That's very true. I'm never satisfied. The stupidity of studio executives winds me up every time.

I aim to please :lol:

As long as they have the theme tune at the beginning and end, and they stick with the style of the show, I can’t see any harm in it :)

Lets just hope they don't kill everybody off then :D

Hey, look at me, I can't spell :lol:

Me neither, that’s why God invented the edit button :rolleyes:

So he did :lol:

How thoughtful of him :lol:
