“It had been a year since I had first pitched the story. A lot happened in that year and I felt some of the elements might not work as well and the story kind of just crumbled in my hands,” Whedon told Variety. “There were elements that I just hadn’t mastered that I… after a long time felt like I wasn’t going to. So, I told people that I didn’t have an idea, which isn’t exactly true. I had an idea, it just didn’t fit in the space that was left for it. It was a little heartbreaking because I was so excited about it, but I’m currently working on something of my own and there’s nothing more exciting than that.”
