Joss Whedon has amassed both indie and mainstream cred in the entertainment world. He created cult television gems like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoffs, and co-wrote big box office hits like Toy Story and The Avengers, one of the highest-grossing films of all time, as well as acclaimed indies like an adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing and the comedy/horror flick The Cabin in the Woods.
