Concept

It started
with a piece that caught our attention on Aint
It Cool News. According to a scooper there, Alyson Hannigan's
mother had mentioned in the Atlanta Post-Journal that her
daughter was doing voice-work for an animated version of
Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Of course
you have to take these kinds of things with a whole salt
lick. A couple of years ago, there had been more than talk
of doing an animated version of Joss Whedon's baby. In fact,
Whedon had assembled a team to work on it, headed by comics
and TV writer Jeph Loeb. When Loeb took a job working as
a producer on Smallville,
it was clear that the animated project had died.
But
then it occurred to me to contact Loeb directly. If nothing
else, he might know if the AICN scoop had any validity,
even if he wouldn't be working on the project.
This
much he has allowed me to say at this point:
"The
truth is true."
Loeb
submitted to a further interview, here.
Though
the news is sparse, it seemed worthwhile to all you mourning
Angel
fans to give you some hope: the Whedonverse is not dead.
Keep
watching Fanboy Planet for more news...and don't forget

Awards!
