WB Wants Angel Movie - Confirmed by Garth Ancier, chairman of The WB network
From Scifi.com - 2004-07-15th
Garth Ancier, chairman of The WB network, confirmed to SCI FI Wire that the network has approached Angel creator Joss Whedon about doing a telefilm version of the canceled television series, about a vampire with a soul. "[We] have an offer on the table to Joss to do movies," Ancier said during the networks fall press preview in Los Angeles. "When Joss and David Boreanaz are both interested in doing it at the same time, Im sure we will be doing Angel movies. Certainly Joss would like to. David will take a bit more coaxing, but I think he will do it."
Ancier later attributed the cancellation of the series, which ended a five-year run on The WB last May, to pressure from producer 20th Century Fox Television for a quick answer as to the shows renewal. "They had pushed for an early decision on whether the show should come back or not," Ancier said. "Had they not pushed for the early renewal, or, conversely, if we had said, You know what? Lets wait till we get to the scheduling room in May and decide then, ... the show may or may not have been back. But I think we would have had that opportunity to discuss it. I think the mistake that was made is that between us and 20th, we didnt wait until May. We just made the decision early based upon their request."

Twentieth Televisions request for WB to commit early to another season of Angel might have led to its cancellation.
This is going to hurt Angel fans.
Twentieth Televisions request for WB to commit early to another season of Angel might have led to its cancellation.
Ancier said had the studio been willing to wait until May - when WB executives set the fall schedule - there was a decent chance Angel might have been back for another season. Angel was a perennial "bubble" show. In the three seasons it was renewed, the decision was made in May after new pilots had been viewed and a fall schedule was set. That might have been the same case this year.
"The mistake that was made between us and Twentieth was that we didnt wait until May, we just made the decision early based upon their request," he said.

No shit they made a mistake.... Letting one of the best TV series Fade Away.
Still hopefully David Boreanaz comes round to do it... But no Wesley >?
