"Buffy's' Gotta Sing!"

Buffy's dead, but work goes on as usual in the halls of Mutant Enemy
Productions.
"Feeling different? Not really," says Marti Noxon, the co-executive
producer of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." "Nothing in our world has
changed, still down the road from the hazardous-waste facility, still
in the exact same location, still breaking stories the exact same
way." 
"Basically UPN has been fabulous about saying, 'Look, we're not going
to try to fix something we don't think is broken.' They didn't buy us
to change us." 
With the show on its way to UPN from The WB this fall, with a two-hour
premiere currently set for Oct. 9, Noxon, series creator Joss Whedon
and the rest of the staff are fleshing out the sixth season, which
reportedly was planned out before the fifth-season finale and 100th
episode in May.
Recently, Web site Ain't It Cool News (
www.aint-it-cool-news.com
)
broke what it claims are storylines for the first eight new episodes.
While Noxon will neither confirm nor deny the spoilers (although she
admits the site got at least some things right), it is widely known
that series regular Anthony Stewart Head will have limited
participation, and that there will be an all-singing episode for
November sweeps.
 "They're all really musical," says Noxon of the "Buffy" cast. "It's
amazing. And Tony (Head) can sing like an angel - a hot, sexy angel." 
On the Head front, the British actor expressed a desire to spend more
time with his family, which is still based in England, and Whedon has
accommodated. Head's character, Rupert Giles, slayer Buffy's (Sarah
Michelle Gellar) "Watcher" and surrogate father, appears in a few
episodes before returning to his native England.
This works out, since the governing body for Slayers, the Council of
Watchers, has long been said in the show to be U.K.-based (Whedon
being a bit of an Anglophile after having gone to school in England).
Also in motion is a "Buffy" spin-off, starring Head, in development by
the BBC. Recent news reports in the U.K. and U.S. have discussed the
series, tentatively titled "The Watcher," in which Giles investigates
supernatural threats, with a darker, more adult tone.
In a BBC interview, Whedon said, "I want to make a show that's very
quiet, very adult, dealing with ghost stories and family metaphors
that represent what's wrong with us. It's the same way as in 'Buffy,'
but without the kickboxing demons." 
"Isn't that cool?" says Noxon. "Won't that be fun?" 
There's no word where the show would air here - the BBC does have a
cable channel, BBC America - but Noxon feels PBS is a possibility.
"That would be the coolness," she says. "On UPN, you'd have 'Buffy,'
and on PBS, it would be like a British BBC series. You never know, it
might show up there. There certainly would be a lot of interest in
it." 
There are, after all, a million stories in the "Buffy" -verse. "That's
right!" says Noxon. "God, there surely are, quite a few more
spin-offs." 
Speaking of Brits, there's one in particular that Noxon would love to
see on "Buffy." "Oh gosh, yes, Eddie Izzard. Please, Eddie! Come do
our show! He's dangerous. I have just tremendous respect for him, and
he's just amazing. If he ever would deign to visit our universe, we
would be glad." 
"We have lists of people (we'd like to have on), and the problem is,
many times you think, 'Well, now, I work on a hit show, and I'll go up
and tell them that I work on a hit show, and maybe they'll be a fan or
something.' Nine times out of 10, they're like, 'Oh, is that
animated?' They're lovely, but they have no idea what we're talking
about." 
Apparently first contact has been made with Izzard, an actor, comedian
and occasional transvestite. "I think he actually knows of us," says
Noxon. "He sat next to Anthony Stewart Head on a plane. Tony, he's a
personable guy, and I think Tony did say, 'You should come and be on
the show!' We all wish that would happen." 
Since there are so many British elements on the show (including
vampire Spike, a Britpunk in the peroxide-blond Billy Idol mode,
played by Californian James Marsters), would the show ever make a road
trip to Old Blighty? "Uh, actually take 'Buffy' to Britain?" says
Noxon. "You know, probably somewhere, the hair just stood up on the
back of someone's neck ... no. This has not been discussed, but who
knows?" 
"It would be just wonderful if we could do it. It would be amazing.
We'll just take one country at a time." 
What's the goal for season six? "To not suck," says Noxon. "That's our
goal. We don't want to jump the shark. I was on the 'Jump the Shark'
website the other day, because someone told me about it, and you know,
we still have a tremendous number of people who feel that we haven't
jumped. We have far many more who think we haven't than people who
think we have." 
"So that's pretty cool. If we can just not jump the shark for another
couple of years, I'd be a happy girl. I'm really excited about this
coming season. It's good, old-style 'Buffy.' " 
Noxon reveals that there's plenty planned for fast-track student witch
Willow (Alyson Hannigan), and that the passing of Buffy's mom, Joyce,
has set up all the characters (including the somehow-resurrected
Buffy) for more adult responsibilities.
Well, maybe not all the characters. "Except Spike. He's not about
responsibility." 
CYBERSPATIAL ANOMALIES ...
Who is Eddie Izzard and why does Marti Noxon want him on "Buffy the
Vampire Slayer"? For question two, see above; for question one, try

leg-waxing optional.

ma io sapevodell'intebnzione di fare la serie "giles", ma non pensavo
che per questo lo eliminassero dal cast di Buffy...
;_;


 che per questo lo eliminassero dal cast di Buffy...
NON lo eliminano dal cast di Buffy e ancora NON e' certo che si faccia la
serie su di lui, e' ancora solo una proposta allo studio.
E ripeto che non lo eliminano, solo che sparisce dalla sigla e non e' quindi
presente in tutte le puntate, solo alcune.

questo e' uno spoiler farlocco come il chip di spike che viene rimosso,
o come l'episodio 100 con tutti i pesonaggi della serie o che la
conclusione della quinta stagione di buffy e della seconda di angel
fosse un unica puntata mega crossover...
o come la morte di buff... no, no, questo non e' uno spoiler fasullo...
