Network chairman offers Joss TV movie deal.

Garth Ancier, chairman of The WB network, has approached Joss Whedon to make a series of Angel telefilms.

"[We] have an offer on the table to Joss to do movies," Ancier told the press during the network's autumn press preview in Los Angeles. "When Joss and David Boreanaz are both interested in doing it at the same time, I'm 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 also revealed that the WB weren't entirely to blame for Angel's cancellation in the first place. He claimed that pressure from producer 20th Century Fox Television forced their hand.

"They had pushed for an early decision on whether the show should come back or not. Had they not pushed for the early renewal, or, conversely, if we had said, 'You know what? Let's 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 didn't wait until May. We just made the decision early based upon their request."
