FOUR Buffy telemovies? That's what Spike is telling people in Australia. Well, either four or zero. (Via Aint It Cool News)

Marsters did not provide any detail on the movies other than that each would focus on one particular character, and that either all four would be made or none at all. As far as Marsters was aware, only he has comitted to the project so far.

Yes, it'll definitely be an overarching story, as people had expected.

So who will the core four be? You've got to figure that one will be Buffy in there's any way in God's Green Earth that it can possibly be Buffy (and in Hollywood, anything is possible). So that's Spike for (say) the first one, and Buffy for the last one if possible. Other contenders, as far as I can see: Angel (though he says he's done being Angel), Willow, Faith, Illyria, Giles, Dawn, Gunn, Wesley (don't ask me how), Andrew, the much-loathed-but-still-okay-with-me Connor, Xander, Principal Wood, and Jennifer's beloved Lorne, in roughly that order.

Make mine Spike, Willow, The Adventures of Wesley and Illyria, and The Return of Buffy, Starring Angel, and I'm sitting pretty. Needless to say, they'll make Andrew the thread that ties all four all together (the "droids" of the piece, as it were). And you're gold. This is a great, great day.

UPDATE: Oh. I seem to recall four characters standing in an alley at the end of Angel. That might just be our four.

UPDATE 2: Marsters's exact words are here. He really hardly said anything. But don't rain on my parade.
