Really folks. What would we do without Michael Ausiello? The dude pulls out some fantastic scoops on his Entertainment Weekly TV blog, The Ausiello Files. Take today. We all learned that another "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" movie is in the works, and that it will draw it's primary inspiration from the original 1992 movie, the one starring Kristy Swanson. Not Joss Whedon's much-loved TV series starring Sarah Michelle Gellar.
It kinda sorta makes no sense, right? There are reasons of course. This latest "Buffy" initiative is being spearheaded by the movie's director, Fran Rubel Kuzui. You should go back and read this morning's update on the subject if you want more details. The key point I want you all to walk away with is that "Buffy" TV fans are in an uproar over Whedon's apparent non-involvement in the coming movie.
Which brings me back to Ausiello, who engaged in a back-and-forth series of e-mails with Whedon today. Well, one e-mail to and one e-mail from. In point of fact, Whedon didn't have a whole lot to say on the matter. His response?
"I hope it's cool."
This is not a dig on Ausiello. He regularly pulls out credible information, and I have no doubt that he'll get more out of Whedon at some point if there's more to be had. I just thought this would be an amusing little throwaway to end your day with.
