joss whedon

commandercool [Edit] [Delete] 8 replies 14:03, 29 September '05
saw a trailer for serenity, the new joss whedon film, at the cinema last night.

is it just me, or does he only lead write roles for strong, adolescent girls? first there's buffy (who was what, 15, 16 at the beginning?), in serenity the lead girl's 17, and he has a script for a new film about "the story of a young woman's journey, that involves a great deal of horror and some heroics".

they say write about what you know and as far as i'm aware mr whedon's never been a teenage girl.

i just find this very strange.

    I can't hear mention of this film without thinking of George Costanza shouting 'SERENITY NOW!'

    That reminds me of the Virgin Suicides - "obviously Doctor, you've never been a 13yr old girl". Such a great film...

    Yeah, you're right, Angel was a teenage girl.

      but he didn't originally write angel as a lead character.

      it was developed as a spin off due to the popularity of the character from teenage girls (possibly down to studio pressure rather than by whedon's choice)

      and i'll think you'll find (though i don't know for sure) that joss whedon has little to do with writing for angel, it's just based on characters created by him.

    I want to see this. Should I watch Firefly first?

    Wasn't he supposed to be making a WonderWoman film?

    I am a secret full-on buffy geek!

      he is due to make the wonder woman film but i think he's doing his own thing first.
