Buffy returns?
Now that STAR TREK has succeeded in reinventing a beloved sci-fi franchise, look for other properties to hop on that bandwagon. First up is BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, which is getting the relaunch treatment. Before the fanboys and girls out there get too excited, Joss Whedon has absolutely nothing to do with it. Vertigo Entertainment is working with Fran Rubel Kuzui, who directed the rather bland Kristy Swanson film, to develop a new BUFFY feature. They want to relaunch the film a la STAR TREK where they try to develop a new audience without alienating the fans of Whedon's work (yeah, good luck). The news could be the best ever for Kuzui who hasn't directed a single thing since 1992's BUFFY hit theaters.
Now I'm not BUFFY fan but isn't this the worst idea ever? Wasn't the original film pretty much universally hated while Whedon's series was almost universally loved? And it's not like STAR TREK where a sufficient amount of time has passed from the original incarnation to the remake. Then again, if they decide to explore Buffy's lesbian tendencies, I might be inclined to pay $8 for a ticket...

I might be much more for this if I knew that Whedon would have a say in this. But the fact that I have read they are going to get all new act...
I might be much more for this if I knew that Whedon would have a say in this. But the fact that I have read they are going to get all new actors for these characters is crap to me. It's way to soon.
Why don't they do a fucking Mork and Mindy remake? Haha nanu nanu bitches.

As far as Buffy goes it had a nice 7 season run and it ended on a high note, and why bother rebooting what was a pretty shitty movie to begin with.
