Buffy The Vampire Slayer being rebooted
 

Not the series. The movie.

Gonna be weird. Dunno. If Joss Whedon isn't involved then I feel like it's a bad idea.

I have to agree, it's his creation and without him it wouldn't be the same.

Only way this has any chance at all of becoming ANYTHING is if they just take the concept and go the complete opposite way of the series, the old movie, and everything to do with vampires nowadays (Twilight Diaries).

Make it a "realistic" and "gritty" movie. Kind of like the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica.

But yeah, pretty ridiculous that this is happening at all.

I thought this got shelved already.

I don't see the point to this at all. Yes, vampires are in vogue at the mo, but still.

She'll have graduated high school thats bout it so far:nono:

Can't be worse than the 90s movie.

Director of the movie: "Challenge accepted!" :shifty:

What, Uwe Bolle is directing it?

There are two Buffy video games for him to base a movie around.

Yay another remake/reboot!

I like the idea of it being gritty, and the complete opposite of Twilight. The TV series was cool back in the day, but it got a bit stupid that every vampire in Sunnydale knew karate.

Don't all the vampires in you neighbourhood know kung-fu? The gay twinkly ones not included.

Thank god its not the tv series, lost interest in that after the 1st series. Couldn't care for the film.

Joss Whedon passed on writing the script for the new Buffy feature, according to a Hollywood Reporter story citing unnamed “studio insiders.” Whedon was offered the writing gig last year, according to the report, but turned it down to work on other projects, including Marvel’s Avengers feature.



Whedon, who wrote the original 1992 film, had some fun with the planned reboot when it was announced last week (see “Warner Bros. Rebooting Buffy”).



The studio leak about the Whedon offer was undoubtedly done to deflect criticism of the reboot from Whedon's loyal army of fans.
