Spike Spin-Off Series?

spikeSci Fi Wire met up with James Marsters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel who has been making the rounds promoting his latest film, Dragonball: Evolution.

Apparently Marsters and Joss Whedon have talked extensively about a spin-off series based on his famous character, Spike.

“Oh, yeah, when Angel was coming down, [creator] Joss [Whedon] came to me and said, ‘Do you want to do a Spike project? And I said, ‘Heck yes. In fact, whatever you want to do, whether it’s Spike or not, wherever I am in the world, just call me.”

Of course, this doesn’t mean it would actually happen, especially with both Buffy and Angel off the air (except for The WB.com!). Would you watch a series like this?

Buffy Wins GLAAD Award

buffy-v8-wolves-at-the-gateGLAAD’s 20th annual media awards were this weekend, and Buffy The Vampire Slayer was one of the winners.

“How is that?” you might ask. “The show is no longer on the air,” you might say.

However, Joss Whedon kept the Buffy story going after the final television episode though the Buffy The Vampire Slayer comic book. Buffy won in the comic book category.

Congrats to Joss Whedon and the rest of the Buffy writers.

lorneActor/singer Andy Hallet, best known as Lorne (or The Host) from Angel, passed away yesterday in Los Angeles after a five year battle with heart disease.

The Cape Cod native began his stage career as a high school student at Barnstable High, the very same campus featured in High Drama. Hallet’s first acting role was on Angel after Joss Whedon was inspired to create a karaoke-loving demon character after watching him perform.

Rest In Peace, Andy Hallet. You will be missed!

So the first annual Streamy awards ceremony was this weekend, and while TheWB.com had our share of nominations, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog and people associated with Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog took home a lot of the actual trophies. Dr. Horrible creator Joss Whedon also created Buffy , Angel , and Firefly , so we’re not surprised that the Streamys recognized his talent.

However, we didn’t go home completely empty-handed. Pink won an award for best directing.

For the full list of winners, check out the rundown from our friends over at Tubefilter.

And if you want to see behind-the-scenes photos of the big event, you can check out the flickr page or official site of Streamy’s photographer, Lan Bui. Jessica Rose has red hair now?

The Streamys: This Saturday

If you’re an internet fan, or just like award shows, you can tune in this weekend for The Streamy Awards, which honor  “excellence in original episodic Web television programming.”

Lots of The WB originals and stars were nominated this year, but we’re facing some stiff competition. I have a feeling that Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is going to clean up, and that Sorority Forever’s multi-talented Taryn Southern will get at least one award, but it’s the internet, so anything could happen.

We’ll have a recap on Monday, and you can watch the awards ceremony live via webcast on the Streamys website.

Go team The WB!

Whedon Ads One More To His “Cabin”

Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly creator Joss Whedon is working on a horror movie called Cabin In The Woods. Not much plot from the movie is available yet, but cast details are slowly leaking out. Today The Hollywood Reporter reported that actor Brian White has joined the cast. He’s probably best known for Stomp The Yard, but he’s been in a ton of movies and television shows.

Plus, he’s in great shape, probably from lifting that heavy hat.

Cast Set For Joss Whedon’s Cabin

cabininthewoodsThe Hollywood Reporter has added five new names to new cast of the horror film, The Cabin In The Woods, written by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Drew Goddard (who wrote Cloverfield). The film, which is already in production and set for release next year, now includes Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz and Jesse Williams.

“Finding this ensemble has been very hard and very rewarding,” Whedon said. “Each of the ‘kids’ is unique, fascinating and talented, and like true friends, the group is more than the sum of its parts. These are people you care about, able to go toe to toe with the amazing actors we’ve corralled thus far, and not unpretty in the bargain. I can’t wait to harm them.”

They’re being pretty mysterious about the film plot, which IMDB describes as “a twisted and unusual take on the familiar ‘cabin in the woods’ formula,” which I hope means there’s a mysterious monster that smashes the cabin into pieces.

The A.V. Club Interviews Eliza Dushku

And here again is another interview with Eliza Dushku about her new series, Dollhouse with Joss Whedon (creator of Angel , Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly ).

I’m warning you now that unlike most stuff on The A.V. Club, this article isn’t very humorous. That’s okay, though, because gazing into Dushku’s hotness makes up for everything.

I just hope she isn’t getting tired of answering the same questions over and over again.
