I'm unable to resist buying any new Buffy the Vampire Slayer produce, though I did say that I didn't love the last season of comics. I've never really enjoyed having hundreds of slayers running around, in a global organisation. It's a long way from the intimacy of Sunnydale. And I didn't like what happened to Giles. That episode didn't seem momentous enough, given what Giles means to the world of Buffy.
Still, Joss Whedon's Buffy remains a brilliant creation so I hope I like this series more than the last. I may even put on my Sunnydale High School t-shirt to read them. In fact I definitely will.

Current Millar books under film option - Lonely Werewolf Girl, Suzy, Led Zeppelin and Me, Dreams of Sex and Stage Diving. And soon, probably, The Good Fairies of New York, again.
I have sold plenty of film options in the past. No one has succeeded in making a film. Perhaps someone will manage this time. I'll send out positive thoughts while reading my Buffy comics.
I think that the Suzy & Led Zeppelin book would make a good movie. The story is simple, engaging, comedy & romance, coming of age, and little sad. Great material for cinema. I hope someone that knows how to make movies reads it and figures out how to make it. If the rights come back to you, maybe you should broker independently with a small filmmaker.
ReplyDeleteIt would! I saw 'The Song Remains The Same' at the cinema recently and half-believed I was in the book. I sort of expected to see the characters leaving when the lights went up.
ReplyDeleteIs there any update on the Thraxas situation Martin? GOd bless
