Add the name Richard O Sullivan to the list of entertainment wannabe's attempting to create a name for themselves by insinuated some kind of tenuous connection to the Joss Whedon name. (Remember that British pop singer guy who claimed he was going to be doing a new Buffy with himself playing Buffy).
O Sullivan is worth mentioning though, because somehow he manages to get internet-play for his outlandish rumours.
He's the guy behind the Spike as male slayer rumour at the start of Angel Season 5.
Apparently he has some kind of connection to some minor actress not worth mentioning by name, and he created another rumour suggesting Miss Nobody was up for the Wonder Women role. Again Joss Whedon's name was mentioned due to the unconnected rumour of Whedon for Wonder Woman.
His latest endeavour in self-promotion through rumour is the most desperate one yet. According to this guy the Kuzuis want to do a Buffy series without SMG, or any Joss Whedon connection. He of course would write it. It's some ludicrous idea about Buffy waking up in the future.
I'd link you to the guy's website, but the site has a reputation for crashing browsers, and even managed to slip a pop-under behind my Firefox.
O sullivan does have some kind of indepent film production operation in North Carolina. He claims to have done some shorts, a film, and a televion series. I of course, Googled, but could not find any evidence of anyone ever having actually seen any of them.
I should mention he does appear to have had a connection with a series of public service announcements NBC put out. I found that interesting. Remember the Angel to NBC rumour. "Inside sources" were mentioned. I'm not saying it was O Sullivan, but judging by how many of these "inside sources" rumours turn out to be bogus, I can't help thinking if you could trace them down, O Sullivan might be the kind of person you'd be talking to.
If you want a chuckle, check out his biography at IMDB.com. It has one possibly verifiable assertion where he claims to have been a disc jockey at one time who got fired from a lot of little backwater radio stations.
So anyway...a little heads up alert. If you see the name O Sullivan or LostColonyEntertainment connected to a Whedon rumour, you know it's bogus.
