Angel wasnt really axed, it was never really Whedon's intention to carry it on for longer than five series and the final episode was a natural ending to the show....

 

then again who knows what will happen in the future:

Spike Movie - Production details

 

After Angel was cancelled in 2004, WB claimed an interest in Angel TV movies. 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[1].

 

In May 2004, the actor who had portrayed the character Spike, James Marsters revealed that there might be a possibility of a Spike movie[2]. The same year he said that he would be willing to return to the Buffyverse if it were within five years. Beyond that five years he feared that it would no longer be believable that Marsters was portraying an immortal character[3].

 

Since 2004 Whedon has been working on other projects, such as Serenity, Wonder Woman, and Goners. However he has approached people and asked if they would be interested in participating in the Spike movie. He has said that Amy Acker would be a part of the movie, and if Alyson Hannigan was available she might appear[4]. Whedon has even mentioned he might interlink the Spike story with that yet to be told in Buffy comics he will be writing for Dark Horse in 2007[5].

 

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 thingâ€. [6]

 

David 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. He's simply not available to us. 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." [7]

 

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. During March 2006, Whedon appeared on the UK TV Channel, MTV Screenplay, he announced he was still trying to get the Spike movie made [8]. 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. [9]. 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. There was supposed to be three of them –- one for Spike, a Faith one and also one for Willow. I think it's safe to say that now because its not going to happenâ€[10]. 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 money is standing in the way"[11].

Campaign by fandom

Fans of the work by Joss Whedon continue to help encourage the making of a Spike movie. Using sites like Supportspike.com they hope to help convince TV networks and the media that there is great demand for a Spike movie. The current 'Campaign #9: Not Fade Away', plans to send postcards to arrive at Fox on June 23rd (Joss Whedon's birthday) in support of the Spike movie

Futurama definately brought back?! :yahoo:

Hmmmm, for any kind of "Angel"-related film to work Whedon's gonna have to come up with a seriously good explanation for getting round the whole certain-death, 'Charge of the Light-Brigade'-esque ending to Angel series 5.....
