Idea for a new Avengers film (TV version)

Instead of imitating the character of her mother (Emma Peel), Rachael Stirling could have played the daughter of Emma Peel who is part of a team called "The Preventers" in charge of preventing the problems before it happens thanks to the new technologies of surveillance, whereas "The Avengers" intervene when nothing could prevent the malevolence. We could say that this preventing team already existed during the avengers time but without us to know it, and that Rachael needs to discover the truth about the death of her grand-father or something like that which pushes her to enter the team and be great like her mother before her.

Rachael could also play Spiderwoman in the 5th or 6th Spiderman movie. The comic story says that a voluntary woman acquires the same powers as him to help him during a moment where he can't act as a hero anymore. She's athletic and has a good face like Tobey Maguire. I'm sure she could do something .

Strangely enough , the idea of coupling John Steed with the daughter of Emma Peel was more or less seriously considered for an Avengers 'reunion TV movie Special ' due to be produced in the 8O's ...

If memory serves me well, the opening sequence should have seen the
burial of John Steed ( or so the audience would think ) attented by all of his female partners...

I think the author of the script was Michael Sloan ( the guy who initiated the ill-fated - and atrocious - ' U.N.C.L.E ' reunion TV movie ' The 15 Years Later Affair '...)

Michael Sloan wrote a completely different script (cf FAQ film > Projets) :

3 - The avenging angel (1988)

Proposé par Universal Studios, ce téléfilm à l'effrayant titre (aurions nous eu droit à Steed et ses drôles de dames ?) aurait lui aussi du donner naissance à une nouvelle série d'épisodes. Il devait être écrit et produit par Michael Sloane (qui avait alors à son actif un scénario d'un téléfilm Galactica diffusé en 1978). Celui-ci aurait du réunir rien de moins que Steed, Gale et King dans un scénario reprenant la base de celui de The avengers movie. Cependant, Sloane ne réussit pas à acquérir les droits de la série et le projet s'arrêta là.

Rachael would be excellent if she would play Emma's daughter !
Moreover, she looks like Diana when this one was young !

To Steed333333 : Completely different script ...IN WHAT SENSE ? . The ( french speaking ) extract you put online doesn't describe at all the opening sequence of the script I'm talking about ...

Furthermore , according to my Brits sources , Sloane's project ( called indeed ' The Avenging Angel ' ) was in the pipeline way before the Avengers movie was even..thought of ( we're talking mid eighties ,there )

I also seem to remember we ( that is , the Tele Series editorial team of 87 ) wrote a news about that strange project in one of the issues of the mag...

So, once again , I fear your info weren't that complete .
The synopsis I got from Sloane's was written in 85' I believe ( he did produce the horrific ' Return of the Man From UNCLE : 15 years later Affair ' in 83' ) .
I think Dave Rodgers used it in one of his Avengers books - don't ask me which ...I tend to mix all of them ...Unfortunately ...

In the script, it is specified that Steed will be with Gale and King, not with Mrs Peel nephew!

You are confusing with another project : The avengers international (1985) !

For the burial sequence, I don;t have any clue...

Probably due to my old age , then !



True : I misquoted scenes from the Avengers International script with that of the Avenging Angel

My mistake , then . Sorry .

The idea wasn't to introduce Emma's daughter but her niece : Samantha.
I read it in books.

I have posted here my idea of scenario for Rachael Stirling doing Spiderwoman in one movie of Spiderman: http://boards.sonypictures.com/spiderman/showthread.php?t=17672&page=13 (under the nickname "Laraignee")

I know it can be surprising but I felt she could do something
She's got the strength in the eyes, the kindness, the athletic body, the humble side too, something feminine and mannish. So I've wrote to Sam Raimi (Director of Spiderman movies) and Rachael + her mother Diana's agents.

I just give a try

It's a good idea to write to Rachael !
I've a friend called Virginie, who looks like her !!!!

Lucky Virginie ! She's like my daughter in the mime art, then? (as I'm doing the Diana mime on my avatar). I'm glad to have a daughter

I think that if Rachael would do Spiderwoman (at least during 1 movie of Spidey), it would definitely prove her specificity comparing to her mother because it's not a role that Diana could have done: she's too slim to play this character. I think Rachael has the tougher side needed for the role and, as the same time, the grace to enhance it. In this kind of movie, all is scheduled: they can repeat a lot of scenes (as they have to include the special effects), and they can have doubles for the dangerous scenes. She has the time to prepare because they plan various scenes and possibilities for the next movies. It's not already decided. There are a lot of possible villains characters and they have to choose the final scenario.

I can completely imagine the gorgeous athletic body below in the suit of Spidey

This photography is magnificent !
Rachael looks like the woman in GOLDFINGER who is in gold.

By the way, for the character of Spiderwoman, a balanced body like the one of Tobey Maguire, but as a girl, is requested: with muscles but not too much and with a medium size. Rachael can do it!! But I'm not sure she'd like to do it....

Brian Clemens 1985 movie Reincarnation included Samantha Peel, who wasn't Emma's neice but her daughter-in-law. Therefore becoming another 'Mrs Peel'. Rather silly and contrived, but that's the answer.

Okay, thanks for the information.

Thank you Murder Market (one of my favourite black and white episodes) alias This boy from inter ?

Yes, C'est moi!


Thanks for the welcome.

Another idea from me adapting « The Avengers » with Emma Peel for the cinema:



We could use the story “the phantom of the castle De’ath” when Emma Peel arrives to save Steed. I loved this story, which was in black & white, but it wasn’t enough developed.



Then, it could be surprising to start the movie by this scene, under the shock of big action, using mystery by shadows hiding the face of Emma, and amazing tricks to enter the castle and fight the guardians, while Steed can show that, despite he’s trapped, he still has the strong ability to save his life alone. And then they face each other through the danger, teasing each other for the start of the movie. The story could be longer than its original version and more amazing (as the original had been partially destroyed by bad stands-in of Emma and Steed, which made the story confused). It’s always amazing to see Emma Peel wins an enemy without any guns, like a very special mix of Mac Gyver, Bruce Lee, and energy from Nikita.

It would be great.
Personally, I adored watching this episode and it will be great to see it as a movie !
Great idea Aima !!! Jolly job !!!
