Thanks for the info-but still it seems it is a big ask for the fanbase to come out in favour of the film which they clearly did in that statement yesterday. And I don't think they are planning a direct to dvd job so they seem to be planning for the film to hit the big screens. But what kind of actors and actresses are they aiming for (not 'high school buffy') so older? unknown? known? What about the level of director? Once some of these blanks are filled in then we will have a better idea. Until then, I will stick with Joss whedon wh has never led me wrong...and sceptical thy name is Joss where this is concerned.
