The unaired Buffy pilot is up at YouTube, all 25 minutes of it. Interesting to see what they kept and what they changed for the actual pilot. For example, Willow is overweight and decidedly not Alyson Hannigan. Thus breaking a rule of Hollywood: the Ordinary Looking Chick is actually a Gorgeous Chick playing ordinary looking.

I haven't watched the whole thing -- was this supposed to be a half hour show?

Actually, iirc, this is the Buffy Pilot that Whedon put together with his own money to show the studio heads the vibe he was going for.

It's actually pretty interesting to see the differences between this and the filmed pilot, similar to the original Doctor Who pilot and unaired pilot/stage reading.

This video has been circulating the Comic Cons/Comic Book Shops for while like Corman's FF and GF.

Alex,

I have a couple of questions I'd like to send to you, and I've seen that you get them regularly via email, yet I can't seem to find an address anywhere around here.

How does one go about contacting you?
