Buffy Animated Trailer FINALLY Online
Buffy Animated Trailer FINALLY Online
Aug 04Sarah caught this and Twittered it…I’m gonna blog it real quick too…
Via Comic By Comic and Ain’t It Cool, the fabled demo reel for the Buffy Animated Series…and a quality article to fill in more blanks.
I’ve been waiting for this to leak onto the interwebbe for years. Sweet!
QUICK UPDATE: Okay, so after reading the article I linked (yes, I linked it before I read it–I’m not made of time) I noticed this intriguing quote from Ms. Jane Espenson:
My understanding is that what has been voiced and is being animated is a presentation – a ten minute chunk of one of the scripts that we wrote years ago. So it is Joss’s pilot, but it is being used as a demonstration piece as much as anything.
Hmm…the YouTube clip is about 3.5 minutes…does that mean there’s 6.5 minutes of this stuff someplace?! Somebody leak!!!
Also, not sure what the date is on that article, but it mentions the project being revived while Joss was on the set of “his movie,” which I’m taking to be Serenity…was that in 2005 that it filmed? So it’s been three years since then…wonder if there are any updates. I have to believe that if Futurama can be reborn on DVD thanks to a rabid fandom, Buffy would have a great shot too.
I interviewed Jeph Loeb way back when on the series, for the Buffy magazine, back when it was done stateside and I worked full-time for it. I’ll have to see if I can dig up my notes, or at least the article itself.
