Why Is Joss Popping Up So Much This Week?

Interview with Joss Whedon on EW

Quotes:

Joel Silver bought another Wonder Woman script while you were still on the project. Did you see that coming?
I was warned by a friend that it was happening. And I was already well aware that people were not liking what I was doing. So I don't feel like I was blindsided.

And what about Ripper — is that going to hit BBC America?
It's BBC [right now], in England. It's still being worked out. The character is still part of the Buffy franchise that Fox owns. We want to make sure that everybody gets respected. And everything is contingent on the script. I have an outline, but I don't have a script yet.

Personally, I'm torn about what comment I should make about Ripper.  

One would be, I've heard "I'm working on it" before, so I won't hold my breath.  On the other hand, since he spends most of the interview saying he isn't doing a lot, I have to wonder if this time Joss actually is working on developing something... in which case my snark would be something like "Yes, kiddies, he can develop something when he wants to..."  And leave you to assume the rueful bitterness behind the remark.

And From Joss to Chris Carter

Wow.  Talk about old (fan) school week.

CC's interview with EW

Quotes:

This rumor — the announcement that the X-Files movie is imminent seems to come up every six months or every year.
We’re really working to make it happen now.

This time it's for real, you'd say?
Yes. I should say we're working to make it happen. It's for real that we're working, but there are no guarantees that it will get made. I mean, it still has to go through a lot of different things, including a budgeting process.
