Joss Talks About Sarah

Thanks to Mlkj13 for finding this!

Joss mentions Sarah in an interview:

"Speaking of movies, how is Goners going?
Um, it’s going. It’s not going as quickly as I hoped, but then again, it’s movies and that’s part of how they’re different from TV. The script has been done. And I have rewritten it…and have rewritten it again. It’s the kind of the world we live in.

The nature of the beast.
Yes. And I think the operative word there is "beast"!

So there’s no casting in line yet?
Not really. I mean we’ve discussed it, but until the studio signs off on a script, that’s pretty much it.

Any chance there would be a role for Sarah Michelle Gellar in it?
Um [pause] I don’t know. Huh. I don’t think so. And that’s not exactly how it works. Obviously Sarah is a star… but I don’t know if it’s the sort of thing she would do or not — again, we haven’t gotten that far in the process. But you know, she sort of backed off from Buffy because she wanted to make her bones as other characters. Not that she wasn’t proud of what she’d done, and she should be, but you know, you want to sort of make your own way. So it would probably be the wrong idea. Although I love what Sarah can do. I think she has an amazing talent and we worked really well together for a lot of years, I have the same sort of thing: I want to prove that I can do this on my own and not make everything I do just a chance to have a reunion with my friends. That’s not to say I won’t have a reunion with my friends from time to time — I hope to. But the key is to keep an eye on the past, but at the same time, explore new territories."

Bare bones info: Joss has just gotten the green light for a new TV show called DOLLHOUSE, starring Eliza Dushku

Read that TV Guide snippet, and was happy to hear Joss & Eliza are working again!

Is this what the working title for Dollhouse was? As I'm a bit confused. I mean if this is something else, how does the guy do it with Season 8 comics, Angel comics, Dollhouse, and film projects? Does he sleep? lol.

As for what Joss said, fair play to him. I think it's great that he doesn't want to do another series with Sarah. In that there'll always be comparisons to Buffy, which both Joss and Sarah could do without. I think they want to be remebered for more than that TV show. I mean it should be one of many things that they should be known for, not the only thing.

Agreed, Andy...but if they did!!!!

That is amazing Ed !

I love Eliza and I miss seeing her since Tru Calling ended...I really liked that show....

**andrew r** · 11-02-2007, 04:06 PM

Yeah I did to Sarah. Bloody F*x. And you're right Ed it'd be nice if Sarah and Joss teamed up again in a few years to do a film project that wasn't involving Buffy. I say this because it's unlikely that it'll happen.
