Would either of you like to script Angel, or do you prefer the greater freedom the novels allow?
Dan Jolley: I'd jump at the chance to script an episode of the series. The novels do allow you to tell a bigger story, yes, and often tie-in novels can take on a life of their own, garnering loyal fans who might not even be fans of the source material.
But Angel, the TV show, is the original, the inspiration. I'd love to be able to affect the Angel universe directly.
Scott Ciencin: Like Dan, I’d be all over the opportunity. I started out doing commercials and short films and ended up writing novels because a New York book editor saw a piece I directed and encouraged me to think about the book field, where I could be as cinematic as I pleased but have much more greater creative control than in LA.
That said, I would never stop writing books, but in addition to novels I’m now in comics, which I love. Getting back to TV and the kind of exciting collaborative team setting that Mutant Enemy offers would be incredible.
