Noxon Talks Buffy Future
| BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER co-executive
producer Marti Noxon has been talking about the upcoming UPN launched season
of her series.
While talking to Zap2It, Noxon addressed if setting up shop through a new network was all that different, saying, "Feeling different? Not really. Nothing in our world has changed, still down the road from the hazardous-waste facility, still in the exact same location, still breaking stories the exact same way. "Basically UPN has been fabulous about saying, 'Look, we're not going to try to fix something we don't think is broken.' They didn't buy us to change us." Regarding the musical episode, Noxon will only say, "[The cast members are] all really musical. It's amazing. And Tony (Head) can sing like an angel - a hot, sexy angel." Noxon also revealed who she would really like to see guest on a future episode of BUFFY, saying, "Oh gosh, yes, Eddie Izzard. Please, Eddie! Come do our show! He's dangerous. I have just tremendous respect for him, and he's just amazing. If he ever would deign to visit our universe, we would be glad. "We have lists of people (we'd like to have on), and the problem is, many times you think, 'Well, now, I work on a hit show, and I'll go up and tell them that I work on a hit show, and maybe they'll be a fan or something.' Nine times out of 10, they're like, 'Oh, is that animated?' They're lovely, but they have no idea what we're talking about." Regarding Izzard, though, she adds, "I think he actually knows of us. He sat next to Anthony Stewart Head on a plane. Tony, he's a personable guy, and I think Tony did say, 'You should come and be on the show!' We all wish that would happen." With word of the developing BBC BUFFY spin-off TV series which will focus on Anthony Stewart Head's Giles character, Noxon was asked if the BUFFY cast might be doing an episode in the UK any time soon. The producer responded, saying, "Uh, actually take BUFFY to Britain? You know, probably somewhere, the hair just stood up on the back of someone's neck ... no. This has not been discussed, but who knows?" |
