First ANGEL TV Movie May Hit in September
By Marcus Ferrell

Scooper 'Daybill' returned with some news from the ANGEL front:

The WB is working on a new stand-alone telemovie, ANGEL, to air tentatively in September. The first two-hour pic is going to essentially launch the series as a sequence of films - different villain, different storyline, each one.

The first is going to tie-in with the events of the series final episode. The season ender is going to go out with a huge cliffhanger, and we'll have to wait till September to find out how it all ends.

Eliza Dushku is in talks to appear in the telemovies, as Faith, the vampire slayer. Her series TRU CALLING isn't going to be picked up for a second season, so I assume she jumped at it.

There's no titles for these Angel films yet, but all six - bi-monthly over a period of a year - will be something like ANGEL: OUTLAWED, or ANGEL: DOMINION. You get the pic.

What's interesting is, Joss Whedon's not going to have much to do with the first couple. He's apparently doing a movie for Universal. Wonder how that's going to go down with fans?

I guess that big truck - which i again saw last week driving around - did something to save this show.

How valid is this report? Well, Daybill hasn't failed us before, but September seems like too quick a turnaround for a tv movie, although not altogether impossible. It's possible that the first could be filmed after a short break, but I would think that the principal cast would want to get away from these characters for a while.

The finale Daybill speaks of also lines up with an April 17 report from our friends over at Spoiler Slayer, where they said that the series will likely end on a cliffhanger.

Joss Whedon's lack of involvement - I wouldn't be surprised. The movie Daybill speaks of is, of course, the film version of FIREFLY, which is being fasttracked at Universal. However, if these movies go forward, I have no doubt that some of the ANGEL/Mutant Enemy regulars will return.

Updated: The boys and girls over at Whedonesque had a good point that contradicts the report (that I, I'm ashamed to say, didn't think of) - some places have already reported that TRU CALLING will be picked up for another season, even though networks seem to like to mess with executive producers' minds and tell them they're being renewed when they haven't been. Regardless, remember that this report is a rumor. Take nothing as absolute fact until you hear it from the Frog.

If you are an insider and you would like to graciously share some information with us, please don't hesitate to contact us..

I'm hoping this is true. September seems a bit early though for the first TV movie, but here's to hoping. I can't wait to see it...the next best thing to having the show...

I have heard about this before but September seems way to early. From what I heard it would be atleast a year. It does end in a cliffhanger though and the movie would tie up loose ends, but I don't think they are necessary. A show can end on a cliffhanger.
