Interview: Neil Gaiman and Joss Whedon

TIME.com Print Page: Arts - Movies -- Interview: Neil Gaiman and Joss Whedon: "Joss Whedon and Neil Gaiman may well be the two most interesting people creating popular culture right now. Whedon is the man behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, and he wrote and directed the science fiction film Serenity, which opens Sept. 30th. Gaiman created the instant-classic comic book Sandman, and he's the author of the new novel Anansi Boys, out this month. He has a new movie, Mirrormask, which also opens Sept. 30. They chatted on the phone together�chaperoned by TIME's Lev Grossman�about their work, their fans, their Klingon bodyguards and, of course, Timecop"

Thanks Raja!

Dresden Files (working title) SCI FI, in development
Erik Dresden comes from a long line of wizards. He also happens to be a detective who sees the world a little differently. When
otherworldly forces are at hand, Erik is on the job, whether it involves consulting for the police or following his own cases. Based on
the novels by Jim Butcher, this two-hour movie and backdoor pilot will be executive-produced by Nicolas Cage and Norm Golightly of Saturn
Films. Morgan Gendel has been tapped to write the script.
