Buffiverse TV-Movie For
BBC?? RIPPER in 2008??

I am – Hercules!!


“Ripper,” a Rupert Giles-centric BBC project Joss Whedon has been talking about since the fifth season of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” may yet manifest.

Speaking at a Dark Horse Comic Con event in San Diego Saturday, Whedon says he now hopes to launch “Ripper” as a 90-minute BBC movie in 2008.

In the current Whedon-masterminded "Buffy: Season Eight" comic-book series, Giles is busy training a platoon of vampire slayers. Hopefully the new project will acknowledge this?
