Marti Noxon, productrice exécutif de la série télévisée Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a déclaré sur le réseau SCI FI Wire que la licence pourra voir arriver la création de films destinés au marché direct-to-video.

‘’Nous avons entamé de sérieuses discussions sur le retour de certains personnages afin de produire des films pour le support DVD, mais en continuant à viser la qualité,’’ dit Noxon. Tenant compte du désir des fans de voir créer un grand film Buffy, Joss Whedon envisage aussi une série de films sur les personnages secondaires de la série, a-t-elle continué.

‘’Joss est sur un tas d’autres projets. Aussi, il lui sera difficile de s’en occuper lui-même’’.Un certains nombre de scénaristes qui ont travaillé dans le passé pour la série, comme Drew Goddard, ont été contactés pour écrire des histoires traitant des personnages secondaires. Nowon a précisé que Sarah Michelle Gellar serait d’accord pour reprendre son rôle de Buffy, mais elle doute qu’il soit possible de convaincre Alyson Hannigan de reprendre son rôle de Willow – elle est très prise par son travail sur la sitcom de CBS, How I Met Your Mother.

Marti Noxon a continué en ajoutant que des films sur Spike ou Angel serait une bonne idée.

Buffy Movies Straight To DVD?

Marti Noxon, executive producer of UPN's Buffy the Vampire Slayer in its last seasons, told SCI FI Wire that the popular series' characters may live on in direct-to-DVD movies. "There are serious discussions going on about bringing some of the characters back and making a few movies that will go straight to DVD, but they will certainly be the quality they have always been," Noxon said in an interview. Continued fan interest in a big-budget Buffy film has led creator Joss Whedon to consider a series of movies that would focus on some of the secondary characters, she added.

"Joss is the king of jumping mediums, so it is an obvious step for him to do this," Noxon said. She said that a few of the show's past writers, such as Drew Goddard, have been contacted about turning in script ideas that would center on the minor characters. But Noxon said that she doubts that star Sarah Michelle Gellar would reprise her role as Buffy and added that she thought it might be tough to persuade Alyson Hannigan to return as Willow. Both Gellar and Hannigan have moved on to film roles, and Hannigan is now a regular on the hit CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother.

But Noxon said that a film centered on James Marsters' Spike or David Boreanaz's Angel could do very well. (Marsters currently has a recurring role on The WB's Smallville, while Boreanaz is a regular on Fox's Bones.)

At the moment, Noxon said she isn't involved in writing any of the DVD movie scripts, but that she could be in the future. (Noxon is currently a consulting producer on Fox's Prison Break.) "If I get involved it would be for the Buffy-related films, not Angel, because I'm far more plugged into Buffy," she said.

C'est clair que c'est mal barré quand même ....

Mais l'espoir fait vivre

Speaking of Darkhorse Comics, they are starting a new Buffy comic, and as I understand it, it will take place after the end of Buffy and Angel and be canon in the Buffy world. And I understand it that way 'cause I'M WRITING IT. I'm kicking off the book with a four issue arc that finds Buffy -- you guessed it --

Spoiler :

living in Italy with The Immortal. (Scott -- don't be mad I spoiled the announcement -- saying it means I have to finish it.)

Then I'll be overseeing the book more closely, to make sure it remains true. Gonna be interesting. And it just might tie in to...

The infamous Spike movie. Still haven't finalized anything, but I feel that very soon I'll be able to go to James and say something a lot more interesting than "Wouldn't it be cool if..." 'Course, I just hope he's free some time this decade. See how my peeps is all actifying! Tomorrow night is AMIAS, (that's alias with Acker in it.) Happy. And totally jealous.

See, the Buffyverse glows in my brain with a new, overreaching arc that will include the comics, Spike, and more. It's taking shape and soon you will know its name. And you will tremble.

This has been mentioned like a million times before. But there are rumours going around again that Sarah is in talks for doing a Buffy movie. We have the News.
Sarah Michelle Gellar is reportedly in talks to reprise her role as Buffy the Vampire Slayer - for a movie.

The 31-year-old actress ended her role as Buffy in 2003 after a seven-year run.

Now the feisty character could be making a return on the big screen.

An insider says, "There is an idea for a script and to pick the story up with Buffy older and maybe even a mother.

"Michelle is busy with movie projects at the moment but she is excited about the idea. Buffy still has a huge fan-base so this is a movie that already has an audience.

"Michelle is a shrewd businesswoman so the chances are this will happen at some point."

This is no April Fools (as I thought it was at first the date of the News story is April 4th.

A big thank you to Szarah for the heads-up!

Ceci a déjà été mentionné des millions de fois. Mais de nouvelles rumeurs apparaissent indiquant que Sarah serait en discussion pour un film sur Buffy.
L'actrice de 31 ans a terminé son rôle de Buffy en 2003 après 7 ans de service.
Aujourd'hui, le personnage pourrait faire son retour sur grand écran.
Une source indique : "Il y a une idée de script et la possibilité de reprendre l'histoire avec Buffy plus vieille et peut être même maman.

"Michelle est occupé avec des projets de film pour le moment, mais elle est très enthousiaste par cette idée. Buffy a toujours une base énorme de fan donc le film aurait déjà un public.

"Michelle est une femme d'affaire organisée, donc les chances pour que ça se produire sont bonnes." (mais on s'en fout de Michelle, ils peuvent dire qu'elle est morte, on s'en fout )

Ce n'est pas un poisson d'avril (... blabla relatif au site...)

J'ai surtout du mal à croire une nouvelle tombée un premier avril
