According to Variety, in a deal that may be worth well over $20M, Whedon will continue to create and produce new TV programs for Fox while remaining on Buffy and Angel. In addition, the continuing success of those two shows will also serve to keep the money coming into Whedon, beyond this current deal. However, this new deal does not cover Whedon's potential feature film projects. Though a part of his previous deal with Fox, Whedon now becomes a feature film free agent as of May 1st. Though no details were revealed, Whedon does have plans for more television shows. Regarding this new deal to do so, the trade quotes him as saying, "It's just the place where I want to make shows, and I have a lot more to make, so I'm wicked psyched." In addition, though it may only be rhetorical, the trade reports that an unnamed TV pilot by Whedon has a very good chance to be picked up within the next month. With word that the ABC TV network is hot for Whedon programming, that may be where it lands. __________________________________________________ Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
