    BUFFY remake & Whedon not involved?

    Apparently remake aficionados Roy Lee and Doug Davison of Vertigo Entertainment are working with Fran Rubel Kuzui (original director) and her husband, Kaz Kuzui (producer) on a "reboot" of the 1992 horror-comedy Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
    The potential new film will have no connection to the hit television series, nor will it feature any of the popular supporting characters like Angel, Willow, Xander or Spike. Vertigo and Kuzui are aiming to restart the storyline without trampling on the beloved existing universe created by Whedon, putting the parties in a similar situation faced by Paramount, J.J. Abrams and his crew when relaunching "Star Trek."

    One of the underlying ideas being passed around is that each generation has its own vampire slayer to protect it. The goal would be to make a darker, event-sized movie that would, of course, have franchise potential.

    The parties are meeting with writers and hearing takes, and later will look for a home for the project. The producers do not rule out Whedon's involvement but have not yet reached out to him.

    I would love to see a really dark gothic vampire slayer but they shouldnt call her Buffy.
    That name is too synonymous with Sarah Gellar to call the lead Buffy.
    I'd rather see another slayer chosen but a completely evil slayer ready to raise hell.

    the title should be "The Vampire Slayer"

    A new Buffy?!

    This is such a very, very, very bad idea.
    Seriously, BtVS was IMHO the best series on television and while the original movie was nothing to write home about (which Whedon himself freely admits), do we really need to "reimagine" it? It is so recent, and SMG and Whendon and the rest are so essential to the world they created, that it would be like re-doing the show "Seinfeld," except without . . . well, Seinfeld.

    The idea of simply basing it on one of the new slayers would be better. There's not just one anymore.

    P.S. I loathed Seinfeld. Just seemed like a good example.

    Bad idea. I hope everyone involved dies before this happens.

    Screams that they have no faith that the tv series could make a good movie and that Gellar is really no longer a name that's bankable and maybe the sad truth is that. It's also possible they think nobody cares about that show anymore yet there are plenty of loyalists out there who would go watch a movie based on the show.

    Lets see IMO...

    Movie = Cheesefest that was more or less a failure
    TV Show = Was more good than bad

    Its all about fresh faces and hip casting. Its cheaper and an easier sell.

    I hope it gets stonewalled in development hell indefinitely. Buffy pretty much played itself out. Maybe the senior partners are behind this evil twisted plot...:xplode:

    buffyslayedme717 summed it up best. To call this idea poop would be an insult to the product of my bowels.
