Whedon: Angel Telefilms Unsure
Joss Whedon, co-creator of The WB's vampire series Angel, discounted the network's reported plans to spin off a series of TV movies next year based on the show, which ends its five-year run on May 19. "The rumored movies are so far just rumors," Whedon said in an interview at the Saturn Awards in Los Angeles. "There are no definite plans to do anything with Angel besides finish out the season as well and as hard as we can."
Whedon is currently prepping to direct Serenity, a feature film based on his canceled Fox TV series Firefly. "I started Buffy
partially because nobody would hire me as a director," he said, tongue in cheek. "I thought, 'I'll create a show, and I'll hire me.' So after eight years of what I consider to be publicly broadcast film school, I'm finally making a film."
