Joss Whedon has been chatting about how he felt when Firefly was cancelled, and how he’s getting on putting Marvel’s The Avengers together…
A really good piece has gone up at the Sydney Morning Herald website, that's been looking back at the work of Joss Whedon, and includes new thoughts from the man himself on his next film, Marvel's The Avengers.
Firstly, Whedon talks of the cancellation of Firefly briefly, saying that it's "still the greatest grief I have about my career" and that it made him "the sourest man alive". He also said that "it took away my ability to think in terms of episodic television. For years."
On The Avengers itself, he told the site, "Right now I'm working on a movie that's got enormous stipulations and is going to be changing and fluid every second. I've come up with dozens of scenes and lines and exchanges and monologues that I adore that are not going to be in it."
He went on to add, "But while I'm writing them they feed me, excite me and they ultimately inform the character. It all goes in."
He also described directing the film as the job "I've waited for my whole life".
The full piece is well worth a read, and you can find it right here.
In the meantime, The Avengers is set to arrive in cinemas on 4th May 2012.
