Possible New Joss Whedon Series

[Guest The Notorious CRD]

Ain't It Cool News has a story on a possible new series from Buffy/Angel/Firefly scribe, Joss Whedon.

 

Only the Mighty Hercules could get this excited about Nick Brendon mumbling the word “brothers” under his breath.

 

If anyone at this Cleveland con was standing closer to the public address speakers, kindly write in and explain what young Nicholas was on about.

I went to the Cleveland Slayer Convention this weekend and thought you might want to hear some news.

 

Nick Brendon did a Q/A and let slip that Joss is working on another show. When asked what it was called he mumbled something like "Brothers" but then said he didn't know. He also said that a Buffy movie is going to happen it's just a question of when. I also found it strange that he mentioned a Buffy cartoon that has Allison, Anthony and him doing voices that might be picked up soon. I thought the Buffy cartoon was dead...?

 

Mercedes McNab said that Angel is dead as an ongoing series but she did hear about the TV movies. She even started to cry when talking about the shows end.

 

Anthony Head talked about Whedon and him doing a spin off called Ripper. He said that he and Joss talk about it every time they see each other. It is supposed to start off as a 2 hour TV movie.

 

Morena Baccarin said that the Firefly movie would start filming in June and that you would get more back story on Inara and Book. She also said that as far as she knows everyone is back for the movie.

You can read the actual story here.

Just read that myself. I have faith in Joss. If he makes it I'll go along with it.

It will last 6 episodes...mark it down

I think Joss is smart enough not to pitch the show to WB/FOX. He should try HBO and FX because they know how to treat good shows well.

[Guest JMA]

This is great news. I hope Mercedes is a cast member in the new series.

 

As for the "Buffy" movie, I've been waiting for that for a while now. I wonder if Joss will use his original "Buffy" script (before it was alerted) or use a new one.

I say FX. That way he can be a little more risque with it if he pleases and FX is showing Buffy re-runs so they already are cool with Whedon shows.

Yes...since FX isn't connected to Fox...uh huh

 

It'll go to Fox or WB, it'll be cancelled by episode 6, fans of Whedon will be outraged, everyone else will be "What is Brothers?" and a DVD will be released to please the Whedon fans.

 

 

Lather. Rinse. Repeat until Whedon becomes an raging alcoholic who finally has enough and says "Fuck TV" and starts making Direct to Video sequels. And cries of "I will watch Men In Black 8 starring Lil Romeo and Colin Hanks because of Whedon" will be heard from the Whedon fans who have also become raging alcoholics because Whedon did it.

Hey, as long as he doesn't do another Aliens movie.

Oh come on, that movie wasn't so bad. Everyone was just pissed about the CG aliens...yeah...thats what it was.

[Si82]

Really good news there. It gives hope for some quality TV shows and movies for the future. I really hope that he manages to get round to making "Ripper".

did the Alien 4 script get altered like the Buffy script did?
