Weisman is most noted for being one of the producers behind “Gargoyles,” and has written for animated programming like “Legion of Super Heroes,” “Ben 10″ and many more. He also has produced several other animated shows and features.

      OMG i am sooo excited over ‘goners’. i heard about this movie quite a while ago and have been trying to keep up on how and where its going. it sounds so good (but then again, it IS Joss). As a huge horror and Joss fan I am happy to see something thats going to come out and be interesting, scary, thought provocing and have compelling characters-none of the crap torture porn that’s been coming out for years and ruining the genre. Thanks also for the news on Joss’s online musical! It was news to me and there we go with another Joss prodution i can’t wait to see. Musical, Dollhouse, Goners, oh my!
