Joss Whedon

Whitney Matheson over at the Pop Candy blog on USA Today has an interview with Joss Whedon, who ranks No. 13 on her list of Top 100 Entertainers of 2005. Personally, I’d put Whedon at #2 (I’m still a bit peeved about a certain character who was killed off in Serenity) and I’d put Steve Carell at #1. But, I digress. The interview clears up the Entertainment Weekly article that mis-represented Whedon’s feelings about Serenity and Firefly. He doesn’t directly reference the EW story, possibly because he did the Pop Candy interview before the article printed, but he does say that he’d love to do more with the crew of the Firefly and, he says, huge DVD sales may help him get two more movies made. I know I did my part for him this Christmas. He also talks about what he’ll be doing in 2006: writing Wonder Woman, creating a new Buffy comic, and pushing very hard for that Spike film we’ve all been hearing so much about. It’s a good interview that didn’t really tell me a whole lot that I didn’t already know, but it’s nice to hear from him.
