Titolo: Altra news su Buffy

La notizia è sempre la stessa (credo) ma c'e' qualche particolare in
più:
Dall'Accademia dei Telefilm
Sarah Michelle Gellar torna a vestire i panni di Buffy? In molti lo
sperano, alcuni lo annunciano, altri smentiscono. Il giallo, che è
rimbalzato anche in Italia, potrebbe dare adito a qualche dubbio se si
calcola che nasce alla vigilia del primo d’aprile dei Pesci d’Aprile,
ma a lanciarlo è l’ultimo numero del settimanale “Tv Guide”, la Bibbia
televisiva a “stelle e strisce”. Nel numero in edicola, la rivista
annuncia che Sarah Michelle Gellar tornerà nel ruolo che l’ha resa
famosa, molto probabilmente nell’episodio finale di “Angel”, in onda
in America il 19 maggio. “Se sarà libera, ci sarà”, promette il suo
agente a “Tv Guide”. Il capitolo conclusivo di “Angel”, a detta di
Joss Whedon, ideatore anche di “Buffy”, verterà sulla scelta di Buffy
tra Angel stesso e Spike. Sul destino di Angel, invece, Whedon
promette un finale aperto (“ma non vi rivelerò il motivo”). Sarà
dell’ultima partita anche Dawn (Michelle Trachtenberg), la sorellina
di Buffy che secondo alcuni beninformati protrebbe dare vita ad un
serial tutto suo…Tempo poche ore e il sito stesso di “Tv Guide”
smentisce (ma solo parzialmente). Vi riportiamo per intero ed
integralmente quanto appare. 
Bloody hell! This bites! This sucks! Whichever vampire pun you choose
to express your feelings on the subject, the sad fact remains: Sarah
Michelle Gellar will not be resurrecting Buffy the Vampire Slayer for
Angel's swan song after all. As foreshadowed in this week's issue of
TV Guide magazine (on sale now), the in-demand actress' busy schedule
was a deal-breaker. But that's only half of the story. You see, Gellar
wasn't asked to appear in the series finale, she was invited to return
for the third-to-last episode (airing May 5). Unfortunately, when that
hour was being shot, she was in Tokyo working on the supernatural
horror film The Grudge and, obviously, quite unavailable. However, she
was free to pick up stakes in the spin-off's capper (airing May 19).
So why isn't she doing that installment? Executive producer Joss
Whedon didn't want Angel's send-off to "revolve around a guest star,"
he says simply. "We will deal with the issue of Buffy and how much she
means to Angel and Spike, but I want to end the show with the people
who've been in the trenches together, the characters who have lived —
and occasionally died — together... the regulars." Whedon's Angel
partner, Jeffrey Bell, adds that the idea of building the finale
around the long-running Angel/Buffy/Spike love triangle "seemed to
undermine the bigger picture. [So Gellar was left off the roster] in
the same way that David Boreanaz wasn't involved in the series finale
of Buffy." (Editor's Note: Boreanaz did in fact appear in Buffy's last
episode; his penultimate cameo carried over into the first five
minutes of the finale.). Before you start sharpening Mr. Pointy and
aiming it at the execs' hearts, you should know that, despite their
well-thought-out rationale, at the point when they learned Gellar was
free to participate in Angel's last hurrah, it was too late for her to
do so. "We had already written and shot the episode [for which we
originally wanted her] which emotionally dealt with [the romantic
rivalry]," Bell says. "So, to go [back] and force her into the very
last episode to retread stuff that we already dealt with didn't make
any sense. "By the time it became a possibility," he goes on, "the
ship had sort of sailed." Fine. So, how then will this much-ballyhooed
(by us) May 5 episode give closure to Angel, Spike and Buffy — not to
mention Angel/Buffy and Spike/Buffy proponents — when the superheroine
in the middle of the muddle will be nowhere to be seen? "Angel and
Spike arrive at an understanding — that's all I'll say about that,"
Bell teases. "And without her being involved, Buffy's character has
come to some sort of understanding, too." After that, the vamp-dusting
ghostbusters will forge forward toward their final showdown (a
two-parter airing May 12 and 19). "We're gonna get to the bottom of
why we've been in Wolfman & Hart this whole time and what we're gonna
do about it," hints Bell. And, though he refuses to drop any clues as
to who will be "left standing at the end," he does promise this: "It's
gonna be big!" As Buffy might have replied, "Well, duh!"

Ma come mai riportano la smentita in Inglese senza tradurla e riscrivono la
vaccata in Italiano? LOL :-)
