Hey, you guys, I was just thinking.. Now that Spike has got his own ongoing comic series on the way, do you think we could get a Spike movie in the future? I was hoping that we would get a movie due to the success of his ongoing comic series if it is. Hellboy managed it, and they had a massive budget for that. Why not, Spike, he's a funny character, and i get the feeling that he is more badass in comics than in Buffy.
I know James Marsters isn't going to play Spike now because of his age, but i wouldn't mind a new group of casting for a movie based on comics. What do you think guys? I want this guy to have success like Hellboy, if he can do it, I can't see why the character Spike can't.

I would love to see more Spike, but it's not the same without James Marsters. It just isn't Spike without him. Maybe if Spike could somehow age?

With enough make-up and air-brushing they could have James looking the part again, I eman I've seen him as Brainiac in recent serieses of Smallville and although they use the make-up to make him look weary in that he still looks pretty good I don't think he's too old at all and I definitely think he'd be up for it if asked  If Spike were originally a comic book character I might agree with you that they can re-cast but he was originally James's so if he goes back into video format I believe that James should be the one portraying him |

I don't think he's too old at all and I definitely think he'd be up for it if asked According to a friend who was on a Q&A concert thing in England with him in May, he's still up for it, because he doesn't think he looks too old. |

I haven't seen him recently, so I think I should go look. I just looked at a bunch of pics of James and I think he could still play the part. I mean he looks a little different but not anymore different than David Boreanaz did when he played in Season 5 of Angel. Not to say he wasn't hot, he was, but he looked very different from the person we'd seen at the beginning of Buffy. |

Wow that's great news- there's hope! And he certainly isn't too old, he's still very yummy (btw yes willowsummers, you should totally go check out recent photos of him) |

My sister got season 7 of Smallville for Christmas and he guest stars a lot . . . I basically clap every time he comes on  My sister's getting a little irritated |

What other characters would we like to see in it?
Personally I'd love Illyria (and since Amy Acker was in Dollhouse maybe she'd be up for another Whedon project) and ideally Groo- he's just the best!
Would've loved Lorne more than anything but I'd never want him to be played by anybody other than Andy

I think it would be cool and I don't think James is too old to play spike. I think it would be interesting to see Spike teamed up with Giles and the ghost of Anya  or not. But Spike and Giles would make an interesting team, I found their interaction in Tabula Rasa to be hilarious even if they weren't technically themselves. |

Errr. Sorry but I really do think he looks too old. Don't get me wrong, I dont think he looks like an old man, but he doesn't look young enough to play spike again.

Guys? I was talking about a spike movie based on comics, not a movie that'll star James Marsters because he has kinda aged now. He might look young to some people, but i'm talking about a movie based on comics, maybe made 10 years from now. Do you still see a 50 year old James Marsters playing Spike?

Just FYI, in 10 years he'll be 58 , not 50.
So I have say, no, I don't see him playing Spike in 10 years, unless the character ages in the comics.
I see him playing Spike within 5 years tough. But I might be kidding myself.

I think it's a no go. It'd be like trying to make Star Wars movies with different characters playing Han, Leia, and Luke.

No Spike without James Marsters and he's too old now, so no thanks.

It'd still be nice to get him though. James is amazing. He is hot, but he's also one of the best actors I've ever seen. They'd have to work hard to get a replacement for him.
Who knows. Maybe at 58 James will still be dead sexy. Or sexy dead... Whatever XD
