Seth Green

So I had a chat to Seth Green – yep, he of “Buffy” and “Austin Powers” fame – this morning about his new “Robot Chicken : Star Wars” Special which is about to be released here on the discal device.

Naturally, I asked Seth whether or not there’s any chance “Robot Chicken” – be it as a “Star Wars” spoof, or not – might one day hit the big screen. The actor says it’s been discussed.

“We’ve talked about that. Thing is, we wouldn’t necessarily want to make like a Monty Python movie that’s all sketches.”

A film just wouldn’t work if it were made in the same fashion - back to back sketches - as the series, says Green, so they’d have to come up with something a little more linear.

If Lucasfilm come to Green and partner Matt Senreich with an offer to bring action-figure Vader to the big screen, it’ll be a different story.

“If they ever wanna do that, we’re open to it”, states Green.

Meantime, the guys are continuing work on the fourth season – and hinted that a character from Green’s past may be making a re-appearance on the show.

“I don’t wanna tease it too much, but we have a bit [of Buffy] as our fourth-season opener that Joss Whedon is in”, says Green. Matt adds, “Without giving anything away, Oz may or may not show up in that same episode.”

As for whether Green is involved in the upcoming “Without a Paddle” and “Austin Powers” sequels? One of them he’s dead-keen to be involved with, the other he’s not.

“I’m pretty sure it’s a direct-to-DVD sequel”, laughs Green when asked whether he’ll return for the recently announced “Without a Paddle 2”. “Yeah, I’m totally busy!” [Laughs]

He’ll definitely be available though if “Austin Powers 4” eventuates beyond the ‘rumour’ stage.

‘’Yeah, I’ve heard a ton – from the press, but none from nobody’s who associated with making the movie. I love those movies though, and I’d love to see one [happen]. Everyone’s asking about it. ‘’
