Ranging across cinema, television and comics, Joss Whedon is a male writer whose most famous creation is a girl power icon; a geek who deals in classic themes of love, death and redemption; and one of the first people in the entertainment industry to have harnessed the power of the Internet to engage directly with his fans. A journalist who happens to be one of those fans, Amy Pascale has based this revealing biography on extensive original interviews with Whedon s collaborators and stars, as well as the man himself. Her book traces his development from an inspiring liberal upbringing and teenage years spent at elite English public school Winchester College, through his first bruising experiences writing for TV, to his status today as a blockbuster writer and director whose every new project is poured over online by millions of loyal fans. As well as offering candid behind-the-scenes accounts of the making of ground-breaking shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly, the book also details Whedon s contribution to modern cinema, as the writer, and sometimes director, behind hit movies such as Speed, Toy Story, Serenity and superhero blockbuster The Avengers.
