Spike in Space

James Marsters to play Buzz Aldrin in UK space movie for 40th anniversary of Apollo 11. [Link]

Marsters is apparently in talks with the UK's ITV network for an upcoming project called Moon Shot that will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the moon landing. The made-for-TV movie - which promises unnamed "big American" actors to play Neil Armstrong and forgotten third astronaut Michael Collins - will recreate the last 11 days before the launch of the Apollo 11 mission that changed the world, using a mixture of NASA footage, CGI effects and Marsters' unusual transatlantic accent.
