Latest crazy web rumour is that Babyshambles rocker Pete Doherty is being lined up to star in a spin-off of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. Apparently series creator Joss Whedon thinks that Doherty would be ideal to play a monster in the series RIPPER, which is set to debut next year. The series follows the character of Giles, who comes out of retirement to kick butt and solve a series of mysteries in London.
“Pete seemed the obvious choice, with his love of the macabre. The blood paintings and the self-styled night creature existence are perfect." Whedon said to the Daily Star.
"It’s thought he’ll play an approximation of his real-life persona; the zombie remnants of a rock star and poet unable to rest and therefore haunting London. With grisly results, of course.”
