A motion-comic Web series is in the works based on the successful Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight, confirming rumors that began back in June.

Sci Fi Wire reports that voice casting has begun for Faith, Kennedy and Robin Wood -- all familiar to viewers of the television series -- and Season Eight characters such as Lady Genevieve Savidge, Roden and Twilight. And if you sound like Daniel Craig, the casting director has a part just for you.

Interview dates are set for this week, which makes it seem as if production is moving fairly quickly.

Sci Fi Wire has the full list of roles and character descriptions. Meanwhile, this comments thread at Whedonesque has fan reaction.
