Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Marti Noxon spoke to Dreamwatch magazine in the recent issue about her new Fox show, Point Pleasant, and also mentioned the Faith spinoff:

"I would love to work with Joss again, but it’s good when you’ve been with such a strong mentor to go test yourself outside of that relationship. It’s been spooky and intimidating, but exciting and I think it would only make our collaberation stronger if we work together again...Joss and I talk frequently. [Closing down Mutant Enemy] was a long slow processs. He had such a positive experience on Serenity, and, in fact, I got to see a sneak preview and I think he has a real career in features that is about to explode. I think that’s where his heart really is, too. My own hesitation to get involved in a Buffy show again is that it is a rarity and things just went right. The last thing I would want to do is do it less well.

Tim Minear and I had the opportunity to really push and get the Faith show or a spin-off on right after Buffy, but I think all of us felt that we didn’t want to be the people who did the pale imitation. Part of the reason we stopped doing Buffy was because we were running out of stories, so it was a good time to move on. Personally, I think it would take a lot to get me into another [Buffy] series. I think Joss and the other actors may do a film. I think they should, but there wouldn’t be much room for more writers on that. I still think the Faith show could be wicked cool, but I also felt a certain amount of vampire fatigue. I’m into the Devil now!"
