I’ve just stumbled across 002 MQ stills for The Novice — an independent that Amy filmed back in 2004, which received it’s world premiere at the Crossroads Film Festival earlier this year, and has yet to be released in theaters or on DVD. However, the fact that stills have surfaced are a good indication that something may be happening very soon or next year, even! Gallery link and previews are below, enjoy!

I’ve added 091 HQ DVD screencaptures to the gallery of Amy’s guest appearance in the season finale of How I Met Your Mother; it was a short appearance but enjoyable nonetheless! Tidbit: According to the episode commentary, Amy and Neil Patrick Harris (Barney) are best friends in RL and so he was very nervous about “having to kiss his best friend.” I recommend you watch the episode then re-watch with the commentary. Gallery links and previews are below, enjoy!

Some snippets of Joss’s answers about our favourite actress and the cancelled series, Angel

“Since ‘Angel’ was cancelled prematurely –so far as Whedon and company were concerned– he’d always had ideas for the show’s life beyond season 5. ‘Angel: After the Fall’ is “somewhat derived from what might have been season 6,” Whedon said. It shows what happens after the battle of Wolfram and Hart, and since a comic doesn’t have the same budgetary restrictions as a TV series, Whedon assured fans, “What happened was really bad.”

“When asked what has been his favorite character to write for, Whedon admitted that can change on a day-to-day basis, but at present it’s Illyria. After seeing Amy Acker’s brilliant portrayal of Lady Capulet in a performance of Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ Whedon became aware of the actress’ untapped potential. And, in keeping with tradition, Whedon decided the only way to help her was to kill her. He fondly recalls work-shopping the character with Amy and her fellow ‘Angel’ star Alexis Denisof, and made it a point to write most of the character’s dialogue himself.”

“HW: Do you hang out with the Buffy cast as well?

JW: I don’t see everybody from that. I run into some people, Aly [Hannigan] and Alexis [Denisof] I see all the time because they’re dear friends and neighbors, and Tony [Head] was just staying with them, so I saw Tony with Aly and Alexis. And Amy [Acker], from Angel is also a great friend. She and her husband James and their kids were running around our house at the Cape. Some of them, I just run into. Some of them, I’ve kept very close and some of them I haven’t seen at all.”

Not Amy related but if Drive wins an Emmy, perhaps the episodes will be released on DVD. Just pure speculation on my part.

Fox’s quickly canceled drama “Drive” has inadvertently made TV academy history on Thursday, becoming the first-ever Primetime Emmy broadband nominee.

Twenty years from now, when Emmy only recognizes programming found on the Internet, historians will point to the mostly forgotten “Drive” as the show that started it all.

Only 50 seconds of the three-minute “Drive” clip nommed Thursday actually aired on TV. Instead, the special effect, titled “The Starting Line,” was streamed on Fox.com — and only ever seen on Fox.com.

The clip - which took a year and a half for special effects shop Zoic Studio to produce - opened up “Drive” by introducing characters as a camera slid from car to car racing down a busy freeway. “The Starting Line” scored a nomination under new rules enacted this year by the org.
