Two simple things

One, large interview with Joss Whedon which contains

Two, quote from Interview which needs repeating

Leaving aside for the moment “Wonder Woman” and “Batman” and “X-Men,” is there a comic-book franchise
you’d be especially keen to bring to screen?
The only time I ever read a comic and said, “Jesus, that should be on the screen,” I found out that
somebody else was already developing it, and it was “Global Frequency.” It should be a TV show. I adore
it. [“Global Frequency” creator] Warren Ellis is like a God to me. I met him by chance years ago. I walk
into [the Hollywood comic-shop] Golden Apple, which is not my usual store because I don’t live there. And
he was there doing a signing and they’re like, “Oh, it’s so good you came out for this.” And I was like,
“For what?” I had no idea he was even in the country. And he was so sweet because I was just about to
start “Fray” [a Whedon-authored comic-book series set centuries after the events of “Buffy”], and I had
never written a comic. And he said, “Well, have you seen any scripts?” And I was like, “Uh, they sent me
an Alan Moore script.” He’s like, “Oh my God, you poor thing!” I’m like, “He does describe things … a
lot.” And he said, “Yeah, yeah, he’ll do three pages on one panel. I’ll send you a script and you can see
how little you can get away with.”

I’d love to see a “Global Frequency” series come to be.
And I heard good things about the pilot and the script from a bunch of my comic-writer friends and my
TV-slash-comic-writer friends. And I don’t know what happened. It just made perfect sense as a show.

Joss Whedon and Warren Ellis!!!! I think Kevin may die!
