BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER scribe Steven S. DeKnight has been giving the latest news about what's up with the fast developing BUFFY animated TV series.
While talking to the BBC, DeKnight was asked about what stage the coming program is currently in. DeKnight answered, saying, "We have, I believe, five scripts already written. I've done one, Jane Espenson has done a couple and it's a great experience. When I was first brought in to interview, I was brought in to interview for the animated show and I was shown rough sketches of the characters and some of the sets. I loved what I saw, I was dying to work on the show and I was hoping once I was hired on the live action [show], I would still get a chance to work on it."
He adds, "It's going to be an amazing show. It's funny, it's exciting, it's all the huge gigantic action that we can't do in a live action show - so the sky's the limit. There's a lot of ideas that they've had in the past five seasons that were great ideas but they just couldn't do, budget-wise.
"So we get to do all those cool, high school stories that we couldn't tell back in High School. Plus, it's a return to the classic BUFFY, the way it all started, with all the teenagers and high jinks. It's going to be absolutely amazing."
Regarding if the program would also feature Dawn and Angel, DeKnight says, "You know, anything's possible in the Joss Whedon world. I would say more than likely you will see a lot of the characters you saw in High School.
"As to whether or not Dawn will be there, it's completely possible. It could definitely fit into the whole time line of season five where Dawn was placed there by the monks and everybody has a memory of her being there, so it would be an interesting idea to actually put Dawn there and see how she would fit into all of this stuff."
