Giles!
I loved Anthony Stewart Head on Buffy - and found this interview via TV Squad and it sounds like he is up to some interesting things...
Can any Brits tell me about The Invisibles? Looks like it starts this week...
Looks like there may still be a Ripper movie floating around out there to clue us in on what Giles was up to before becoming a Watcher. He says:
"The latest is that I was over in LA last year at about this time. I bumped into Julie Gardner from BBC Wales who said 'has anything ever happened to that?' And at the same time I had just been speaking to Joss [Whedon] saying that there are a lot of people who keep asking about it. He said 'Is there anybody at the BBC I can talk to about it?' so I introduced him to Julie Gardner and they got on very well… and then the writers' strike happened and Fox picked up an idea of his called Dollhouse that he's doing with Eliza Dushku. So the answer is that there is a possibility of something happening… the story that he's written could adapt to being a one-off story not necessarily related to Buffy. All that means that there is the will and there is the means. It's a question of how, when and if it [comes together] through the next year or so."
and when asked 'Are you sworn to secrecy on the story details?' he says:
"Yes, in as much as I wouldn’t want to give it away. All I can say is that it’s a ghost story. But a ghost story with a real Joss Whedon difference. It’s got such a twist to it. But I wouldn't want to give it away. It would be the worst spoiler of all time."
*grins*
Also, or as I first typed, aslo... he is working on Merlin? For BBC? That could be cool, I love me some Arthurian legend.
