James Marsters Keen On "Spike" Movie

Tuesday 5 April 2005, by Webmaster

James Marsters appeared at Houston’s Slayercon last week and announced that he’s still very keen to reprise his role as bottle-blond bloodsucker Spike in a telemovie for the WB reports Moviehole:

"I’d be very interested. I LOVE the character. It would definitely be TV movie and not a motion picture. When I talked to Joss about it a while back, I told him if he does a Spike movie it needs to be in the next five years. Spike is an icon that doesn’t change. Even his wardrobe doesn’t change. That’s what an icon is. I mean otherwise I’ll be too old", says Marsters. "I love my face but it’s not the same as it was. I just want to get him to do it now".

What about a theatrical movie possibility? "If anyone would be interested in a motion picture, it would most likely have to be a Buffy movie. But, if I was Sarah’s [Michelle Gellar] manager I would tell her not to do it yet. Sarah is a great actress and I’d say she needs to get a Golden Globe before she does Buffy [again]".

Marsters says he’s also in consideration to star in a film about literary detective, Harry Dresden but it’s still in very early development at Lions Gate.

    Doesn’t he mean that SMG should win an Emmy? Hasn’t she already won a Golden Globe??

    She has already won an Emmy (TV-Shows), but not yet a Golden Globe for a movie (it’s an indicator for the Oscar and because of (but not only because of)that very important). I guess to play Buffy again would be a step back in her career if she does it right now. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to see a Buffy motion picture, but I agree with James Marsters, she should try to play other roles before she comes back to the role, that made her so famous.

    SMG won a daytime Emmy, pre-Buffy, for her role in All My Children.

    Now, how about JAMES getting an Emmy! Or Joss!

    Yeah! Give James and the great actors/Joss/everyone else who works on the show an Emmy... they sure deserve it!
