Whedon Watch 2006 to 2008 (Future Projects)

[KhaoticLove]

A spike movie. *explodes with excitement*

 

[nerd4hire]

You mean, "wouldn't a Spike movie be nice", not "there's a Spike movie on the way", correct?

 

[KhaoticLove]

Yes.
If there is going to be a spike movie Id probably cry with tears of joy.

 

[nerd4hire]

Well unless you've heard something I haven't there is no Spike movie being planned at this time.

But yeah, wouldn't that be something, eh?

 

[KhaoticLove]

Yea same but just the thought of there being one in the future maybe, rocks.

There were a few comments at the comic-con Dr. Horrible panel which hinted to possible future projects.

Dark Horse Editor Scott Allie kicked off the panel by running down a list of once and future Joss Whedon Dark Horse collaborations. Allie assured fans that more "Serenity" comics are on the way, slated for late this year or early next. Allie also said that the "Captain Hammer" comic on MySpace Dark Horse Presents was not the last "Dr. Horrible" tie-in that Dark Horse was planning, and that Whedon's other contribution to MySpace DHP, "Sugar Shock," would be available in print soon in the MySpace collection.

With the title character of Whedon's first comics work, "Fray," guest-starring in the current arc of "Buffy: Season 8," another fan asked if there was a chance of the future slayer getting her own series. Whedon explained that while fans won't see a "Fray" series in the foreseeable future, he isn't ruling it out. "I'd like to," Whedon said. "It's a question of how much time we have."

Whedon said "Dr. Horrible" was intended to be a model for a new way to put out media. He hopes it will help create a new creative community that includes "all of us, and maybe not so much some other people." Whedon was quick to add that he loves the work they're doing at "Dollhouse," he doesn't want to eliminate the studio system completely, but "things are changing."

and...

The writers confirmed that they fully intended to tell more "Dr. Horrible stories. Whedon said his initial thought was to make the next story very dark, like "Godfather II." "But then I looked at what we'd made and thought, 'Maybe more like 'The Incredible Mr. Limpet,'" Whedon said.

hope there would be a spike movie... And also wish it would be James Marsters again...
Hope the movie will be the reunion of Buffy and Spike...
Cant wait to see it...

Except a Spike project only exists on Fan Wish lists at the present time. There is no current talk on such a thing from the people who would make it happen.

Dark Horse editor Scott Allie has offered hints of a Spike appearance in season 8, but that's the most you can really hope for realistically at this time.

It would be great to be wrong about that though.

It's starting to sound like Joss and Summer Glau are almost ready to go on their long talked about mini-ballet colloboration.

So when are we going to see this classically trained ballerina really make the most of her talent?

Leave it to Joss Whedon to come up with a solution. Ever since casting her in a bit part as a ballerina on “Angel,” and then re-hiring her for “Firefly” and “Serenity,” he’s been percolating on a project they could do together, and he’s come up with one: a short film/ballet called “The Serving Girl.”

Like he did for the musical episode of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog,” Whedon’s composed the music — only this time it’s less sing-along, more score (Glau says it’s “beautiful”). They’ve teamed up with a choreographer as well, so now it’s only a matter of scheduling before they can start shooting, since now she has “Terminator” and he has “Dollhouse” keeping them busy.

“She’s even busier than I am. She’s busy terminating everybody,” Whedon said. “We’ve both very dedicated to the concept, and it is the next kind of dream for something to do, but it’s like working with any other artist. If they’re good, they’re very often busy, and you gotta wait.”

“We’ve been waiting to do this for years,” Glau said. “But when you’re on a series, you live there, and that’s all we do. So we’re going to have to wait until the next hiatus, but that’s not even that far away, so keep your fingers crossed.”

A rumor has surfaced saying a Buffy movie is being considered in light of Twilight's success at the box office.

Discussion Here.

The rumor mentioned above turned out to be nonsense, of course.

The Goddard/Whedon project Cabin in the Woods has been pushed back to February 5 2010 - Discussion Here

Tom Cruise seemed to feel he had to talk to Whedon about something concerning Cabin. Something to do with the MGM/United Artists connection.

This is more interesting, I think...

The movie was shepherded by Mary Parent, chairman, worldwide motion picture group, at MGM; she was an advocate of Whedon's back when she was at Universal Pictures, which produced Whedon's Serenity.

SCI FI Wire: Joss Whedon is now working with Tom Cruise. Horrors? Yes!

It's going through pre-production now.

Rumors are starting to pop up concerning Cabin in the Woods.

Story and discussion on Jena Malone rumor here.

Here's the score card I have so far.

Casting of Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford - Possibly true.

Casting of Jena Malone and Bill Nighy - Most likely false. Joss disavows.

Plot details which may be floating around from a NY Times story - Most likely false. Joss disavows.

Something called Production Weekly has bought into the Jena Malone rumor and is claimed to be publishing it as fact in an upcoming article, along with a claim the real title of Cabin in the Woods will be "Mordecai".

Some still say the rumors are true. More here on that...
