Whedon sells script to Universal

Variety reports that Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Serenity) has sold a "fantasy thriller" movie script called Goners to Universal for "seven figures."

Whedon was cryptic in describing the project, but the title conveys that it will tread on supernatural turf comparable to his series creations "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and the bloodsucker spinoff "Angel."

All well and good, but I'm taking this a sign that Whedon is finished with television – at least for a while.
