Joss Whedon

Joss Whedon mini-bio: Whedon has written and co-written several movies including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Toy Story, Alien: Resurrection and Titan A.E.. He was nominated for an Academy Award for Toy Story's screenplay. He also wrote uncredited drafts/rewrites of Speed, Waterworld, Twister and X-Men, although, with the exception of Speed, little of Whedon's work remained in the final drafts of any of these screenplays. In interviews, Whedon has disowned some of these films. He wrote and directed 2005's Serenity, based on his television series Firefly. Serenity won the 2006 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form.

As of May, 2006, Whedon has two announced film projects under development. He has been signed to write and direct Warner Bros.' adaptation of Wonder Woman, and Universal Pictures has greenlighted a spec script by Whedon titled Goners which he will also direct. It is not known which film he will make first. In an interview with Empire Online, Whedon expressed an interest in directing a Harry Potter movie. However, he has not seen any of the current movies out and refuses to do so until J.K Rowling finishes writing the series.
