28 July 2010 - Wastelanders

During his panel at last weekend's San Diego Comic Con, Joss Whedon revealed that he had been working on project with Warren Ellis called Wastelanders, however, it had been put on hold due to his committments with The Avengers movie. On his website, Warren Ellis goes into a little more detail about the project.

"WASTELANDERS" was being devised as a five-part series that we'd do as 'internet television,' in the mode of DR HORRIBLE, only without the singing. Joss was worried about the lack of singing. I'd hoped that directing an episode of GLEE had gotten it out of his system. I wasn't sure who I'd have to hurt or kill to secure the situation, but we were sold enough with the outline that we'd be ready to shoot in two or three months."

At that point The Avengers came up and the project was put on hold until that is done with. Ellis went on to say:

"WASTELANDERS" is sort of a funny horrible story about the end of the world. I look forward to finishing it."
