What could have been

[sombrefan]

It's not widely remembered in the fandom that Joss and Mutant Enemy were on board for a second Buffy movie back in 1998. I'm guessing it would have been set between seasons much like the first X-Files movie was. You've got to wonder what elements from seasons 4, 5 etc would have been brought in. Would Bangel have been enshrined as a iconic Hollywood couple? Would Spike have been the movie's villain? It's a fascinating what-if for the fandom. I'd love to see Joss actually address this as he's not one for talking about projects that never took off.

Anyhow here's the Variety article mentions the movie.

Joss was just a fountain of ideas back then, wasn't he? Though I rather suspect some of the shows

Variety

says he was developing were spoofs. I love

Grampire

and

Cheap Shots

as names - and the latter would have the potential for a great show.

Ah, the world of what might-have-been.
