In 2005, Harry Knowles posted this about an Angel movie being put on the front burner:
" SPIKE THE VAMPIRE On Mutant Enemy’s “Front Burner”?? FIREFLY God Tim Minear Asked To Write And Direct??
I am – Hercules!!
How giddy does that headline make you? I can tell you it makes me super-extra-giddy!! The funniest, smartest and best writer or director on “Angel” not named Joss is Joss Whedon’s pick to write and direct a new “Spike” TV movie?? F**k. Me.
From zap2it.com, July 22, 2005:
The "Smallville" stint may not be the only work on The WB for [James] Marsters. Network head David Janollari says he would "gladly" do a TV movie featuring the Spike character if Marsters and "Buffy"/"Angel" creator Joss Whedon want to do one.
From E! Online, Aug. 19, 2005:
“I just got off the phone with someone who talked to Joss [Whedon] yesterday, who claimed that [the "Spike The Vampire"] project was very much on the front burner. Joss has never told me anything like that. He's checked with me twice, to see if I was interested. I said yes twice, and both times he's been very clear that this doesn't mean that anything's going forward, [he] just wants to have [his] ducks in a row.” – James Marsters
From Whedonesque.com, Aug. 20, 2005:
"I had lunch with Joss and he asked me if I wanted to write and direct some blonde vampire movie thing. Should I do it? (I of course said yes right off, still) Anything under 13 hours scares me. And anything over 13 hours... um. I got nothin'." – Tim Minear
Now, Whedonesque (rather irritatingly) does not reveal to whom Minear told this, or where the quote appeared, so I wrote Tim and asked after its legitimacy. Mr. Minear’s reply:
Yeah, that's me. Probably shouldn't have said anything, but what the hell. You're behind this somehow, aren't you? "

Then in March this year, Joss Whedon hinted at a continuation in the Buffyverse:
"Whedon: 'Buffy May Return'
By WENN| Thursday, March 02, 2006
HOLLYWOOD - Writer/director Joss Whedon has hinted his cult TV creations Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel could be making a comeback.
The series creator says there are talks of home entertainment or miniseries continuations of the Sarah Michelle Gellar-starring series and its spin-off.
He says, "We've been discussing how to do things with a different format--maybe something straight to DVD that wouldn't be a full series. There are various characters that I'd want to explore further."

So there's hope!

Well I don't see how a sequel to Buffy with Spike in it would be very explainable since he died in the series finale.. But hell, seeing some more Spike would be nice, lol.

He's writing a script for a Wonder Woman movie.
Why, I can't guess.
