Whedon Eyes Giles TV Film

Anthony Stewart Head, who plays Giles on UPN’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer, told the icLiverpool Web site that the dormant British spinoff series based on his character may turn into a two-hour TV movie instead. "I talked to [Buffy creator] Joss [Whedon]," Head told the site. "He said that instead of getting himself committed to another hourlong detective show, like Angel, he’d rather do a two-hour movie."

Head added, "It would look in depth into the character more. He’s interested in Giles’ character. It could be a one-off, and if anybody liked it, they’d go from there. At the moment, that’s what I’m looking at. It makes more sense all ’round, and I know the BBC are still up for it. Joss has got so many ideas. It’s not good for one man."
