Post-Dollhouse, Whedon Returns To Buffy?

[lil_pixiedevil]

Could one of Joss Whedon's post-Dollhouse projects be a web series based on his Buffy Season Eight comics from Dark Horse? Sci Fi Wire seems to think so, and they're saying that casting is already underway

I actually like the comics. Well, at first it didn't feel like Buffy, but I think I just had to get used to the fact that it was a different medium and you know, there's no budget that limits your creativity (like on tv), so it was weird seeing Buffy and some potentials jumping off a helicopter and the whole gang living in a castle, but yeah, the stories are quite good with great twists imo.

If this motion comic will be like a camera moving slowly over every page with some inserted voices for the characters, then NO. I'd rather prefer an animation series (IF A REAL MOVIE CAN'T BE DONE). :(

I think that all the people who complained about Season 8 because "there are no actors to give life to the dialogue" will have to find another reason to dislike it now, if we actually do have actors speaking the parts. But maybe I'm just cynical. :-)

As far as I'm aware, though, Joss's involvement in all this hasn't been clarified. I don't know if it's *his* idea, or if it's just something FOX are doing, and Joss's only involvement will be a royalty cheque after it's all over.

Looks like they're doing The Chain and Anywhere But Here as well as No Future For You, so I wonder if they're going to go back and do The Long Way Home and work through the whole series.

I'm not hugely excited, personally. I've read these stories. I want new stories now.

I read about that too but I think maybe stories in between the ones we've read would be a better idea.
