In an interview with Complex, Whedon shared some details about the upcoming season of "Dollhouse," and also dropped some info about the episode set to be directed by his "Astonishing X-Men" artist John Cassaday. As if that wasn't enough to get the comics wire buzzing, he confirmed the looming conclusion of Dark Horse Comics' "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight" series"”and followed that up with the news that we'll definitely see a "Season Nine" for Buffy and co.
"He's going to f--- up so much," joked Whedon of the fan-favorite artist's "Dollhouse" debut behind the camera.
"He's a storyteller," said Whedon of Cassaday. "I gave him shorter scripts than any other artist I've worked with because he has an extraordinary visual sense and it very much matches my own. ... I know him as a person, his sensibility, the way he is with other people and I just feel that this step is logical for him, it's something he's been pursuing for a while."
While the celebrated "Planetary" artist will be flexing slightly different muscles to direct the "Dollhouse" episode, he's still looking to contribute in the area of production he knows best, too.
"The only problem we have is he wants to storyboard his episode, and I'm like, 'You do know that it's a script that will be late, right?'" said Whedon.
