Marti Noxon wants Wonder Woman

Buffy the Vampire Slayer writer Marti Noxon would love a shot to write for WW. In an interview with FEAR.net, she talks about her wish:

You've always had a penchant for strong female characters. Do you have a dream project? Do you want to, like, create the next female action hero?

I would love to. To be honest - as scary as it is - part of me wishes I could take a crack at Wonder Woman. There was a moment where it looked like I might get involved in the TV version. She is one of the few in the canon that hasn't been exploited. There are reasons for that; there is stuff in her mythology that are really silly. The costume - she's in a star-spangled bathing suit! And she uses a "lasso of truth" and rides around in an invisible plane. But they don't have to be that way. I definitely have a point of view about that. If I could do it, and nobody could "yell at me"... if the internet wasn't poised to explode in hate, no matter what you did, I would be out there, really pushing for it.

I would more faith in Marti than David E. Kelley anyday.

The Director of the Fright Night Remake is...

I'm not feeling this, but who knows, y'know?

According to many Horror sources, Craig Gillespie could be the director of 'Charlie and the Vampire next door'. Craig is not new to the scene. He's has directed "Lars and the Real Girl and "Mr. Woodcock". He also served as the as director and producer of "The United States of Tara".

Now as y'all know, I don't like remakes too much. But I'm only in this because Marti Noxon, (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is writing the script. I just hope they don't f**k it up.

Great Hera! They are Remaking Fright Night!

I feel betrayed!

They are remaking Fright Night and using a noted "Buffy" scribe.

"Mad Men" writer-producer Marti Noxon has been hired to pen DreamWorks Studios' revamp of the 1985 horror comedy "Fright Night." Before her work on AMC's "Mad Men," Noxon was a writer-producer on the bloodsucker series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel," so fangs and stakes are in her blood.

Producers Michael De Luca, Michael Gaeta and Alison Rosenzweig set up the "Fright" project in May. DreamWorks executive Mark Sourian is overseeing for the studio.

Marti, why? This is wrong! Fright Night is a classic! The writer and director, Tom Holland vetoed this. I was at the L.A. screening of FN when he said a remake would be bad!

My heart is broken!
