Joss and Summer talk "Session 416" viral marketing videos. Various reports out of London hit today with Joss Whedon and Summer Glau reacting to questions about the "Session 416" videos that have cropped up online in the past seven days.

(To avoid appearing to promote my own site, and because my server can get slow sometimes, what follows below is the entirety of what's offered up so far at the link in the headline to this item.)

[Edit note: Removed link to the site this came from, since it's mine, although also the only place currently keeping track of this, but.... Heh.]

Over at the UK Browncoat Forums, a post reports: "Joss confirmed tonight at the london CSTS screening that yes it is, indeed, him being whacked by River."

A later post to the same boards, says: "Summer saw the clip on Whedonesque.com she said. And grinned. A lot."

Yet another post there says: "The main reason Joss said he was in the clips is because they were organised at such short noticed. They are part of an ongoing story so expect more."

Meanwhile, a message to the "Session 416" Yahoo! group, reports this: "Joss also said that he took the part because they made the videos so quickly that there wasn't enough time to cast an actor. It also appears that he directed them, because he talked about doing a fall (supposedly the best the stunt co-ordinator had seen) and then calling cut while lying on the floor."
