Whedon’s next is…

Joss Whedon recently gave BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, ANGEL and
FIREFLY/ SERENITY fans a little taste of what is to come from the
scribe. He stopped by Comic Con this year
to talk about his new two-disc Collector’s Editon of SERENITY,
which looks to be even more loaded with extras than before. And the
Browncoats seemed to be in full force to hear everything he had to
say. He answered questions and seemed to put to rest any plans for
the ANGEL movie by saying that it would be called "Bones,
Season 2".

But he also talked a little bit about a project which may happen,
care of the BBC. What can we expect from Whedon and BBC in the next
year? "I will be filming RIPPER" Yes folks, all you
Anthony Stewart Head fans may have something to get excited about,
it seems that Rupert Giles past (and possibly present) may be
explored. He didn’t give much about it away, but if it happens,
Buffy fans all over will be able to revisit this beloved character.
And who knows, maybe some of the old Scooby Gang will pay him a
visit somehow. Or is that just wishful thinking?

As for another project, he did peak some interest with this
comment. "Drew Goddard and I co-wrote CABIN IN THE
WOODS…" which he claimed would be "… the horror film
to end all horror films… literally." What this means and what
it would be about he did not say, but let’s just say that the many
Whedonites seemed pretty damn excited that he would be coming back
to television and film after his current comic book, or as he calls
it, "his mid-life crisis" phase (but don’t fret, he has no
plans to stop making comics, most notably BUFFY). Either way, it
looks like we may be able to have more Joss Whedon goodness in the
next couple of years.
