Straight from Joss's month according to TVsquad at SDCC. Sounds very exciting.

Buffyverse back on TV!... maybe this can get the 12" line kick-started again.

 

[Anzik]

Man that is all great news!

 

[BillyBudd]

Wow, that's AWESOME news! It sounds like it won't be a TV series though. Just a 90-minute made-for-TV film. Still, it's really cool.

:chew

 

[Darklord Dave]

And it's being made for BBC, not Fox, so it wouldn't fall under the SSC license.

 

[Dave mack]

very, very cool.

But, will we have ASH in current time and then flashbacks to the "ripper" era...?
If so, does this mean another actor for young Giles...?

 

[Slayerverse98]

That's good news that something to do with Buffy will be back on TV! I want Joss to do Faith the Vampire Slayer!

 

[olvidadero]

That is the best news we could get!!! I'm so excited, I can't believe it!!!!

Any idea on how involved JW is going to be with this show? The more JW involvement (writing, directing, etc.) the better.

I hadn't thought about that. The only person I want to direct this is Joss.

I think he will do, it was his concept so he has probably already written the full thing and has a vision on how it should be.

I hope Ethan Rayne makes an appearance, preferably as the villain

We can only hope for Faith!!!

 

[Dave mack]

He'd BETTER direct it!
Joss, comic books are cool but your a fab director too. Get back to it!

 

[Darklord Dave]

It's all Joss. I was at his panel when he mentioned it.

 

[Dave mack]

cool! Thanks dave!

 

[blue_rogue]

This is great news!

So is this:

The Buffy Season 8 comic continues, and he is already plotting a Season 9.

The Angel "After the Fall" comic will be a maxi-series. 12 issues that depict what happened after Sesaon 5's finale.

Something will happen with Fray.

 

[olvidadero]

Happy days to be a Buffyverse addict. If the Ripper project goes well, that could mean more spin-offs or tv movies. Ripper was so dead, and look, it's going to happen. Imagine 'Faith the Vampire Slayer'.

 

[Anzik]

Yeah I don't see Eliza's film career skyrocketing so maybe she would like a regular paycheck again.

But there has never been ANY Buffy or Angel produced for Fox. Never. It was produced BY Fox Television for the WB and UPN networks. Fox produces programming for all networks, including its own. This would just be Fox producing for the BBC instead of one of the American networks. So why wouldn't it fall under Sideshow's license??
