Дорогие гости, перенос форума Marstersvers завершен. Мы рады приветствовать вас на новом ресурсе!)))). Вся первичная информация об этом форуме находится здесь
Сканы нового номера журнала "Ангел" с большим, и, похоже, действительно эксклюзивным интервью ДМ... данным в апреле 2004 года. Но все равно очень здорово. Грузится страница долго, но того стоит.
Lance Khazei, who wrote the family comedy Son of the Mask, has written and will produce Romantic Comedy.
"It's about a guy who watches famous romantic comedies to learn how to woo the girl of his dreams," says Khazei, who was a writer for the TV show Politically Incorrect.
He originally offered the role of the girl to Sandra Bullock, but she was already committed to several projects.
"For a while it was going to be Kate Hudson and Colin Farrell," says Khazei, who has finally signed Sarah Michelle Gellar for the female lead.
Her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., was considering co-starring but he is now concentrating on developing a TV sitcom for himself.
"Both Owen Wilson and his brother Luke Wilson have looked at the script and have expressed interest," says Khazei, who hopes to begin filming later this year.
По большому счету это еще не гарантия, что фильм будет снят - но все-таки хоть что-то.
Начну с главного: Вот здесь проходит голосование "Ангел" против "Баб-ведем", наверное, еще не везде прошло по форумам, но наши отстают в два раза!!! В общем, голосуем, товарищи, голосуем )
Кристин (Е!) сегодня будет беседовать с ДМ!!!! из чата:
xrollinthundrx asks: Do you have any news about that Spike T.V. movie?
Kristin_Veitch replies: Guess who I'm talking to later today? MMM-HMMM. Jimmy James M and you KNOW I will ask him. Stand by for this week's column. And try not to drool.
mlgm asks: Are you going to ask James about Cool Money? I haven't read any reviews yet? And will we be seeing him on talk shows?
Question: I think a Spike TV-movie would be great! — Teri
Ausiello: So, apparently, does James Marsters. In his first interview since I pitched WB president David Janollari the idea of doing a Spike telepic, the 42-year-old actor told my colleague, Ben Katner, that he's game for resurrecting his soulful Buffyverse counterpart "as long as I could do it within, say, the next four or five years; past that, I'm too old. Spike's a vampire, man, and I've got high standards — you have to believe that the guy has not aged since we met him. There's a little poetic license, but I don't want to get into a situation where the script says, 'Well, he was drinking pig blood and he aged,' you know? [Whatever Joss Whedon wrote] would be funnier than that — it would be delightful — but it would be taking away the coolest thing about a vampire, which is that he's iconic... he does not change." OK, Mr. Janollari — the ball is in your court.
В общем, все -по-прежнему. Джосс хочет, Джеймс хочет - The WB не хочет. ********** Фотки, которых я лично раньше не видела - ужасно милые и пушистые!!!
Спасибо за новости! У меня немного: ДБ пригласили в пилот Fox, который будет называться то ли "Кости" то ли "Скелет". Что-то про судебную медицину. ДБ будет играть агента ФБР.
Variety reports that David Boreanaz joins the cast of Fox pilot "Bones." He will star as an FBI agent in the procedural drama revolving around the work of a female forensic anthropologist.
Сегодня разговаривала с Сабиной - у нее пока Интернета нет, ей должны поставить ADSL, но пока не поставили, она отрезана от мира... в смысле - от форума
Дык, Геро, я ж надеялась фанатом без всяких кавычек стать, а тут такой облом (прямо как в том анекдоте: "Гюльчатай, открой личико!"- "Ну и рожа у тебя, Шарапов" ).

Появились подробности пилота ДБ. Имена какие-то все незнакомые...
The Futon Critic
BONES (A.K.A. BRENNAN) (FOX) - David Boreanaz ("Angel") and Michaela Conlin ("The D.A.") are the first to be cast in the drama pilot (previously known as "Brennan"), about a team of forensic anthropologists who solve crimes using evidence supplied by skeletal remains. Boreanaz will play an F.B.I. agent who works with the Smithsonian's Medico-Legal Lab that's the focus of the series. Conlin then will play Angela, additional character details about who weren't available. Hart Hanson, Barry Josephson and Kathy Reichs are the executive producers of the project, which comes from 20th Century Fox Television. Greg Yaitanes is set to direct the pilot from a script by Hanson.
Variety
Boreanaz will star as an FBI agent in "Bones," his first major role since "Angel" left the airwaves last year. Procedural drama revolves around the work of a female forensic anthropologist.
"We were looking for a guy's guy," said exec producer Hart Hanson. "David is so grounding, and he has that old-time movie star force going for him."
Also joining the cast is Michaela Conlin ("The D.A.") as Angela. Hanson and Barry Josephson exec produce the 20th Century Fox TV drama. ****************** А вот эта новость - скорее всего, из разряда первоапрельских (хотя народ на Whedonesque кипит и буйствует по этому поводу вовсю).
For more than a decade, Writer/Producer/Director Joss Whedon has been synonymous with the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" franchise, so much so that it seems inconceivable that anyone would even attempt to launch a new film or television series about the legendary super heroine without him. But strangely enough, that was, or maybe still is, a plan in the works.
"It's a major misnomer to call Joss the 'creator' of the Buffy Summers character," says a Sony executive who asked not to be identified. "As wonderful as Joss' writing is, he didn't come up with that character. He got the gig to do the first movie as a write-for-hire job. He wasn't thrilled with what they did to his script and smartly managed to gain control of the TV series but really, 'Buffy' isn't his baby."
The original "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" movie came out in 1992 and starred Kristy Swanson as 'The Chosen One' sent to save the world from demons. The 20th Century Fox film, scripted by hired gun Joss Whedon, was directed by Fran Rubel Kuzui, who also produced the motion picture with Kaz Kuzui. Whedon, after complaining loudly about the production team responsible for "ruining his script," managed to land a deal with Fox to produce the TV version in 1997, garnering creative control over the Buffy character. The Kuzui's were attached as Executive Producers on the show (which aired for five seasons on the WB network before moving to UPN) but wielded no real power on the series, which is largely where things got sticky.
"Joss did a tremendous job expanding on the Buffy character and its mythology," says the Sony executive. "Aside from Buffy's parents, who were unnamed in the movie, the only character from the movie to cross over to the series was the Slayer herself. Characters like Spike, Giles, Xander, the Master, Glory...that was all Joss."
However, somewhere along the way, egos were bruised, finances were disputed, and a rift occurred between Whedon and the franchise's original "parents" with the Kuzui's attempting to continue on with their own version of the super heroine...all without Whedon.
"I don't think I'm revealing any big trade secrets in Hollywood by mentioning that a script had been circulating for years for a proposed big-screen Buffy sequel that would've been produced by the Kuzui's with absolutely no involvement whatsoever from Joss," says the Sony exec. "The script was rather convoluted, I thought, and focused more on a male slayer character than Buffy, which made little sense to me...but make no mistake, the Kuzui's retained the rights to continue with their own interpretation and as far as I know, remain well within their rights to do a new Buffy movie or series without having to consult with Joss."
If that's not confusing, to further complicate matters, two years ago, a third party reportedly jumped into the fray, just after Whedon announced that he was ending Buffy's run on UPN in 2003. The plan, according to Hollywood sources, was to create a completely separate TV program with a new actress taking over from series star Sarah Michelle Gellar.
"I was contacted by a producer -- whose name I won't mention -- and asked to submit 'Joss Whedon-type material'," says "Communication Breakdown" director Richard O'Sullivan (whose credits can be seen on IMDb by clicking here). "This was during the period in which I was first starting to pitch 'Breach of Heaven' as a TV series and the obvious comparisons came up since they're both kind of in the same genre. They wanted something 'Whedonesque' but didn't really give me any details about what the project was."
Part of O'Sullivan's writing sample (which can be read by clicking here) was subsequently leaked by a disgruntled former associate to Harry Knowles' Ain't It Cool News website, which initially reported it as the 2003/2004 season opener of Buffy's sister show, "Angel," thus sparking a debate among Whedon fans about the script's validity.
"At first I freaked," says O'Sullivan. "I thought, '@#%$, the whole thing just went up in smoke.' But then, my phone rang."
O'Sullivan says the producers of the proposed show concocted a plan to use the controversy to their advantage. The idea was to continue with plans to secure the rights to the Buffy character from the Kazui's (who still had the option to use the main character from the movie, though not the characters or character histories from Whedon's series), but now they wanted to rush a pilot into "top secret" production and book Screen Gems studios in Wilmington, N.C. (host to such series as "Dawson's Creek" and "One Tree Hill" to serve as the home for the new show.
"I was offered a producer's credit in exchange for basically acting as the 'front man' for the pilot," says O'Sullivan. "They wanted to do business as 'Breach of Heaven,' cast as 'Breach of Heaven,' basically tell everyone we were making the 'Breach of Heaven' pilot...but then when the cast and crew showed up, shoot the pilot for the new Buffy."
O'Sullivan was asked to script the pilot, with specific instructions given that the story would not be set in Sunnydale nor would it include characters from Whedon's shows, other than Buffy and the odd mention of the Slayer's mother, who was not to ever be referred to as "Joyce" (since "Joyce Summers" was a specific creation of Whedon).
The end result, which carried the working title "Slayer: The Adventures of Buffy Summers," picked up some 90 years in the future with the heroine frozen in time, literally turned to wood, and part of an art piece depicting a war between humans and demons.
"The idea was that at some point after the turn of the new millennium, a great battle took place between good and evil and for whatever reason, a powerful mystical force froze Buffy and the demons she was fighting for almost a century," says O'Sullivan. "When the story opens, a tour guide is explaining to a group of school kids -- a mixture of humans and demons -- that the world 90 years ago was a much different, less tolerant place."
Naturally, Buffy is released from the spell, and, after disposing of the demons she had been frozen with for nine decades, is forced to deal with the new inter-dimensional world order.
"It was a very Patton-after-the-war type script," says O'Sullivan. "Here you had Buffy, instantly transported to a new place in time, all her friends gone, the war she had fought since she was sixteen years old over...not knowing who to trust, not knowing how to deal with the fact that she's not supposed to be fighting the monsters she was brought forth to kill. Plus, now she has to wrap her head around concepts like vampires and demons having free will and coexisting with humans in everyday life. It was an interesting new dynamic and not just a rehash of roads already traveled."
Plans for the series, which was being geared toward syndication or cable, were put on hold last year after negotiations to secure the rights stalled amidst the predictable legal wrangling. O'Sullivan believes, however, that the show, which likely would have starred Polish-born actress Aleks West (whom O'Sullivan later cast in his film "Communication Breakdown" would still make for some interesting television.
"Don't get me wrong," says the filmmaker. "I'm a huge Joss Whedon fan. What he did with that series, and with 'Angel,' was groundbreaking stuff. It blew the original movie away and I actually found Fran Kuzui's film to be rather entertaining. But I think there are still so many different directions you can take that character."
Currently, plans remain in the works to bring O'Sullivan's "Breach of Heaven" -- presumably the real "Breach of Heaven' this time -- to television.
Мысли по поводу.
Насчет того, что у супругов Кузуи остались какие-то права - верю на 90%. Их имена торчали в титрах все семь лет, хотя они не принимали никакого участия в работе. Единственное объяснение - юридическое крючкотворство. И нужно быть последним идиотом, чтобы продать ТАКИЕ права - все равно что зарезать курочку, которая несет золотые яйца.
Насчет того, что Салливен писал пробный сценарий - совершенно точно, большинство из нас его читало (сценарий, где Спайк оказывается первым мужчиной - истребителем вампиров
Насчет того, что у него есть сценарий футуристической Баффи - почти 100%, поскольку это написано на его собственном сайте.
А все остальное, как мне кажется - wank. Попытка сделать себе рекламу дешево и сердито. Моя версия: Салливен написал сценарий по своей инициативе, а теперь хочет его пристроить. Возможно, у него были какие-то контакты с Кузуи, каковые сейчас работают на Sony. Но не более того. "Анонимный чиновник" с Sony - либо фикция, либо все те же Кузуи, которые сидят не у дел.
Согласна с Васкес полночтью - если бы все было более-менее правдиво, то, думаю, всплыло бы намного раньше, под Джосса пытались подкопаться все, кому не лень, а тут такой варинт... В общем, посмотрим, куда это все выльется.
Васкес, спасибо за новости по ДБ, я тоже что-то никого не знаю, странно это все!
Что-то дивное творится с фильмом Брендона - сайт закрыли по требованию государства, сначала всплыла вот такая информация, а потом все подтвердили таким образом.
Насчет пилота ДБ: кто-то на Whedonesque выдал такую статистику - в каждом новом сезоне Fox заказывает 15 пилотов, из них в сериалы перерастают 3-4, из них выживает (то есть продлевается на второй сезон) в среднем один. Наверное, на других каналах тоже не сладко, но Fox славится (особенно в последнее время) традицией закрывать не просто сериалы, а хорошие сериалы. Reddyrirl с CDS утверждает, что книги, по которым будут снимать шоу, отличаются от прочих криминальных драм чувством юмора, и считает, что у сериала есть шанс. Бум надеяться...
Насчет фильма Ника Брендона - не понимаю. То ли это розыгрыш, то ли... не знаю.
У меня - немного информации по комиксах "Ангела". Обещают, что Спайк тоже будет, но не скоро...
The Curse, the first of many Angel books planned by IDW, will be written by popular Angel novelist (and former IDW Editor-in-Chief) Jeff Mariotte. Mariotte has written more Angel novels than any other writer, and co-wrote the first official behind-the-scenes series companion, The Angel Casefiles, Vol. 1. Italian artist David Messina provides brilliant visuals, perfectly capturing the familiar characters. All five issues of the miniseries will feature exciting variant covers from renowned artists like Tim Bradstreet, Igor Kordey, Jill Thompson, ChrisCross, Ben Templesmith, each offering up their unique interpretation of the characters. And while this first adventure is more an Angel solo tale, fans can expect to see Spike and the rest down the line, too.
