=== Isabella Watson's Angelica ===

==== Armstrong's Angelica film series (2484-2488) ====
HKBC decided on a complete revamp of the series for the next production. Unlike any other season or film, this series would start with a complete reintroduction of the character and a brand new canon - whereas the previous 7 seasons and 6 films were set in the same universe. Louisa Thompson's contract had expired and so Isabella Watson was cast as the third Angelica iteration. No previous co-stars returned, with new actors such as Dominik Porter, Callum Adams, and Mary Wells starring. Rhommel Studios would again produce independently, but no creative staff (directors or screenwriters) would return from the previous era giving it a brand new feel. Tom Armstrong directed and executively produced all three films.

HKBC originally commissioned three films during the 2479 meeting to discuss the future of the property. They started casting and pre-production in late 2481 and filming began in 2482 for the first film. Contracts were settled for five films - but HKBC secretly planned to end it as a trilogy. The film went into an early rebrand from "Angelica" to "Agent Angelica" to distinguish it further from the previous productions. The first film's plot featured the origins of the White Rose organisation, an introduction to Agent Angelica, and a small secret mission, the acquiring of three friends, and a final showdown with Angelica's arch-nemesis, Mortus. This nemesis had only been established prior in the 2475 film, ''Angelica IV - The Rise of Mortus'', however this film would reintroduce the villain with a slightly different backstory and motive.

The second film began pre-production in early 2484, before the showing of the first film. All actors from the previous film returned for a sequel that picked right off from the end of the first movie. Instead of bringing back a villain from an older film, the sequel would introduce new villain - Toxa. The film would also see heavy character development for the main characters. Recurring villain Robocta played a small part, playing as a fiddle for Toxa and serving as a plot device. The film would show the expansion of White Rose, an expanding romance, a heroic sacrifice and a twist.

The third film began pre-production in early 2486. It became evident early on that this would be the final film and that the studio would not pursue a fourth and fifth movies. Therefore, rewrites took place to condense the stories of the final movie, planned third movies, with character developments being condensed, and elements of the fourth film being thrown in. The plot of the film is said to be very complicated compared to the prior films with rushed conclusions and too many villains. Mestelek would make an appearance but their story wasn't going to be retold, rather a continuation of the fundamental lore setup in the Season 3 Episode 7 episode "Morals of Mestelery". Other villains such as the Galaktorites, the War Machines, and Khraster show up as well. Originally, Mestelek was to have a small part in the third movie, but his part in the story was blown up majorly for the final instalment. All major actors returned from the previous two films.

==== Armstrong's Katerina Kay spin-off film (2492) ====
Rhommel Studios and HKBC had agreed to cut the five movie series down to three officially in late 2486 which annoyed director Tom Armstrong. This was due to budget constraints and numerous issues with management. Following the movie's compromise of a story and subsequent release, the property was announced in 2490 to have no works in development. In early 2491, they secured funding for a further film in the Angelica series but Armstrong didn't want to pursue this due to having wrapped up his ideas in the third Agent Angelica film, and being burned out of the franchise. However, Armstrong decided to pen a spin-off instead.

Katerina Kay was a character in the old show's seventh season. The point of the spin-off was to introduce the character into the new canon and to create a new non-Angelica film with similar direction to the ''Agent Angelica'' movies. The movie did less than expected at the Box Office and a planned sequel named ''Katerina Kay 2 - Agent of Deceit'' was dropped from all plans.

Isabella Watson, Angelica's actor, expressed her support and willingness for another Angelica film and hoped she'd receive another trilogy like with Louisa Thompson (especially with her commercial success) but this was never delivered. Producing company, Rhommel Studios, was bought by Headlight Inc in November 2493 and subsequently dissolved. HKBC then withheld the rights.

Revision as of 18:34, 21 January 2022

Angelica is an Empherian science fiction television programme broadcast by ENTV (subdivision of HKBC) since 2451. The programme depicts the adventures of a woman named Angelica who used futuristic and alien technology to explore the world and the universe. With various companions, aided most of the time by the White Rose Organisation, Angelica combats foes and works to save civilisations and help people in need. The show is a significant part of Empherian and surrounding nations' pop culture and has gained somewhat of a worldwide cult following. It has influenced generations of Empherian actors, with many big stars occasionally guest starring in the series.

The programme originally ran from 2452 to 2488. Following a huge increase in popularity in the 2490s, the HKBC announced it's revival would start pre-production in late 2501 with an airdate of 2502. The revival would be handled by ENTV once again, with some funding from HKBC. It has spawned numerous spin-offs, including comic books, films, novels, audio dramas, and television series including: Start of the White Rose (2457-2459); Legend of the Temple of Starhi-El (2465); and Katerina Kay (2480-2482). It has been the subject of many parodies and references in other pop culture.

Episodes

Because of the serialised nature of the series, episodes will be divided into story number and episode number. An episode is defined as a full length run time that airs independently. A story is the overarching story which may or may not be made up of multiple episodes.

Krystal May's Angelica

Season 1 (2452)

HKBC ordered the production of sixteen episodes to be made and aired weekly starting in March 2452. These sixteen episodes would be divided to have 4 stories, each with 4 episodes.

Louisa Thompson's Angelica

Season 7 (2465)

HKBC put the series on hold after the end of the Series 6 specials and the departure of the key lead. However, higher ups believed that the show could be continued with a new take on the character of Angelica. Seasoned actor Louisa Thompson took over the role. HKBC therefore recommissioned the show with just 20 episodes for a 7th season. Steven Wright came back as executive producer but wrote no episodes. Amira Lawrence and Myles Grey were cast as her companions, Emmelie and Peter. The series was marred with below average expectations for viewing figures, leading to doubt over future seasons.

Wright's Angelica film series (2468-2471)

Following poor ratings of Season 7, HKBC decided to hand control of 3 feature films to Steven Wright to debut in theatres. These films would be co-produced by independent film company Rhommel Studios who would secure a lot funding and profits. Louisa Thompson, who starred in the reboot in Season 7, would return as the main actress. Amira Lawrence and Myles Grey returned as her companions in all three films, with new actors Harry Russell and Elena Cunningham joining the main cast roster. The films saw huge success and prompted a later worldwide release and HKBC to gain confidence in the brand. This would be Wright's last contributions to the property.

Droswell's Angelica film series (2474-2477)

HKBC commissioned a further three films to produced under Louisa Thompson. The first title would be a spin-off of the series to be produced concurrently with a 4th Angelica film. The third title would act as a combination of both stories, being titled as the 5th Angelica film. Amira Lawrence, Myles Grey, Harry Russell and Elena Cunningham all returned alongside new main actors: Rory Mitchell, James Scott, and Isabella Wallace. Critics say the stories were too complicated with many characters, but the series did relatively well. Many attributed the failure of the spin-off film to poor marketing and lack of relevance to the main story. Thompson announced in late 2477 that these films would be her last in the role. Rhommel Studios would once again produce the films alongside HKBC and new company DheviS Inc. Early plans indicated that Steven Wright was to return to help but died of a brain haemorrhage in early 2473 before he started any work.

Isabella Watson's Angelica

Armstrong's Angelica film series (2484-2488)

HKBC decided on a complete revamp of the series for the next production. Unlike any other season or film, this series would start with a complete reintroduction of the character and a brand new canon - whereas the previous 7 seasons and 6 films were set in the same universe. Louisa Thompson's contract had expired and so Isabella Watson was cast as the third Angelica iteration. No previous co-stars returned, with new actors such as Dominik Porter, Callum Adams, and Mary Wells starring. Rhommel Studios would again produce independently, but no creative staff (directors or screenwriters) would return from the previous era giving it a brand new feel. Tom Armstrong directed and executively produced all three films.

HKBC originally commissioned three films during the 2479 meeting to discuss the future of the property. They started casting and pre-production in late 2481 and filming began in 2482 for the first film. Contracts were settled for five films - but HKBC secretly planned to end it as a trilogy. The film went into an early rebrand from "Angelica" to "Agent Angelica" to distinguish it further from the previous productions. The first film's plot featured the origins of the White Rose organisation, an introduction to Agent Angelica, and a small secret mission, the acquiring of three friends, and a final showdown with Angelica's arch-nemesis, Mortus. This nemesis had only been established prior in the 2475 film, Angelica IV - The Rise of Mortus, however this film would reintroduce the villain with a slightly different backstory and motive.

The second film began pre-production in early 2484, before the showing of the first film. All actors from the previous film returned for a sequel that picked right off from the end of the first movie. Instead of bringing back a villain from an older film, the sequel would introduce new villain - Toxa. The film would also see heavy character development for the main characters. Recurring villain Robocta played a small part, playing as a fiddle for Toxa and serving as a plot device. The film would show the expansion of White Rose, an expanding romance, a heroic sacrifice and a twist.

The third film began pre-production in early 2486. It became evident early on that this would be the final film and that the studio would not pursue a fourth and fifth movies. Therefore, rewrites took place to condense the stories of the final movie, planned third movies, with character developments being condensed, and elements of the fourth film being thrown in. The plot of the film is said to be very complicated compared to the prior films with rushed conclusions and too many villains. Mestelek would make an appearance but their story wasn't going to be retold, rather a continuation of the fundamental lore setup in the Season 3 Episode 7 episode "Morals of Mestelery". Other villains such as the Galaktorites, the War Machines, and Khraster show up as well. Originally, Mestelek was to have a small part in the third movie, but his part in the story was blown up majorly for the final instalment. All major actors returned from the previous two films.

Armstrong's Katerina Kay spin-off film (2492)

Rhommel Studios and HKBC had agreed to cut the five movie series down to three officially in late 2486 which annoyed director Tom Armstrong. This was due to budget constraints and numerous issues with management. Following the movie's compromise of a story and subsequent release, the property was announced in 2490 to have no works in development. In early 2491, they secured funding for a further film in the Angelica series but Armstrong didn't want to pursue this due to having wrapped up his ideas in the third Agent Angelica film, and being burned out of the franchise. However, Armstrong decided to pen a spin-off instead.

Katerina Kay was a character in the old show's seventh season. The point of the spin-off was to introduce the character into the new canon and to create a new non-Angelica film with similar direction to the Agent Angelica movies. The movie did less than expected at the Box Office and a planned sequel named Katerina Kay 2 - Agent of Deceit was dropped from all plans.

Isabella Watson, Angelica's actor, expressed her support and willingness for another Angelica film and hoped she'd receive another trilogy like with Louisa Thompson (especially with her commercial success) but this was never delivered. Producing company, Rhommel Studios, was bought by Headlight Inc in November 2493 and subsequently dissolved. HKBC then withheld the rights.
