Buffy The Vampire Slayer

CBR News also caught up with “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” vet Anthony Stewart Head, who was at the awards with Paris Hilton and Bill Moseley promoting their horror musical “Repo! The Genetic Opera!” “I get to rip people’s body parts out and sing about it,” Head remarked. “It’s very cool.”

At Comic-Con International this year, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” creator Joss Whedon told fans the long-rumored Giles project, named “Ripper” after the watcher’s one-time nickname, may finally come to fruition. Head confirmed that Whedon was in talks with the BBC. “It would be a one-off, and it would probably be a two hour movie, or a 90 minute movie for TV,” Head explained. “We’re looking at maybe something in the summer, just kind of depends on the availability of rights and things.”

Head admitted his exposure to Dark Horse’s comic book continuation of the series, “Buffy: Season 8,” was limited to what little Whedon had shared with him. “But by all accounts everyone’s raving about it, it’s great stuff,” the actor said.
