Must it be on Fox and by Fox? Has Whedon tried the SciFi channel? Does Fox
own all rights to making any Buffy-related or Angel-related movie? How
about direct to DVD? How many BtVS or AtS fans are there? And how many
such
fans are interested in seeing a movie? If enough Buffyverse fans are
interested, how about selling "early-bird" DVD vouchers to the fans who
would pay to preorder the DVDs and get them later so as to help finance
the
project?
In this day-n-age, there's got to be a way to undercut the networks by
going
directly to the fans. Ten thousand fans alone each chipping in $100 can
generate one-million dollars to help finance it. Are there fewer than ten
thousand fans in the world? Since a $100 "donation" to PBS is not
uncommon,
it might just be viable. Wishful thinking?
