Has Eliza ever played anything but a bad girl? Even in True Lies she was a pick-pocketing smart ass, and in Bring it On, she was the one who stood up to the rest of the team and told them they were hacks. Of course, this is what I like about her so far. She's got spunk.
I'd just be interested to see if she could pull off another type of roll. Could she be sweet and innocent? Could she be a straight and narrow, bookish nerd? I'd like to see her try some new stuff.

I haven't seen most of ED's work, but the answer is probably No. Hollywood has her typecast as a Bad Girl, and that's that.

She apparently played a good girl in The New Guy. At least, that's what she kept saying back when it was first released and she was doing the talk show rounds.
There's "This Boy's Life" where she played a good girl. Of course, she was about 10.

ED was in this movie called THAT NIGHT when she was young (13 or so). She played a very sweet character. Dumb movie, but she wasn't bad in it. I'm certain she's capable, but she just has the bad girl look. Can't escape it.

I haven't seen TNG, but it sounds like her character is The Bad Girl with a Heart of Gold. Which is close enough to The Bad Girl to not matter.

Not like it matters. She's not a great actress to begin with. I ended up seeing Soul Survivors tonight. She's supposed to be a badass girl, which she's usually good at... but she sucked until the character turned into Faith.
I like ED, though... and maybe the new Robert Deniro project will offer a good performance? Something tells me to doubt it.

Hmm, maybe that's why she keeps having "scheduling conflicts" that keep her away from Buffy. I think she's a decent actor, but she never blows my socks off the way some of the others routinely do.

A Dawn spin-off would be pointless. What would it be about? I can only take so much of her whining and complaining about life.
I would kill to see a Fray movie/spin-off/cartoon/mini-series. I love the comic book; Joss is able to take what he already has and make something completely new. A Faith spin-off would be cool to see. They haven't explored her character that deeply and it opens up a whole bunch of possibilities.
Ripper sounds good. When it makes it out of development heck, I would love to see it.

A Fray movie would cost a lot to make. It'd be like the city scenes in AotC, only for the entire movie! So it'll be a while before it happens, if it ever does. But if Firefly is successful, I imagine backing will be forthcoming.
Assuming Whedon can find the time to write and direct. If anybody else tries to make it, it'll be a waste of film stock.
