More Good News, Buffy Fans

I know, I know – it’s been far too long since I last talked Buffy, but what can I do? Good news like this is hard to come by.

The movie, based on the best-selling Cecelia Ahern book, will revolve around a grieving young widow who discovers her late husband has left her a list of tasks that will reveal itself in 10 monthly messages intended to ease her out of grief and transition her to a new life. Marsters will play the late husband's best friend.

Richard LaGravenese (Living Out Loud) is directing; production is set to begin in the in mid-October in New York and Ireland.
