News of a reboot for cult TV show and movie Buffy The Vampire Slayer without its beloved creator Joss Whedon has caused some discomfort with fans of the series. Now Warner Bros. Pictures have recently earned the rights and decided to move forward with the reboot. Charles Roven and Steve Alexander will produce with Doug Davison and Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment (The Ring, How to Train Your Dragon, The Departed). Joining the project as the new writer is Whit Anderson replacing Joss Whedon who wrote the original screenplay for the Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie in 1992.


"Whit approached us with an exciting idea about how to update Buffy," said Roven. "There is an active fan base eagerly awaiting this character's return to the big screen. We're thrilled to team up with Doug and Roy on a re-imagining of Buffy and the world she inhabits. Details of the film are being kept under wraps, but I can say while this is not your high school Buffy, she'll be just as witty, tough, and sexy as we all remember her to be."


Buffy The Vampire Slayer Started as movie in 1992 written by Joss Whedon and starring Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry. Then Buffy The Vampire Slayer took the form of a TV show in 1997 starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, David Boreanaz, James Marsters, and Alison Hannigan. The TV show lasted for seven seasons and earned David Boreanaz his own spin off show for the character Angel which lasted five seasons of its own.

The Buffy The Vampire Slayer reboot has no release date. The project is also currently without a director. Maybe some more news such as a director or some castings could ease any pain you Buffy fans are feeling, so come back for any news and updates on the project.

@Arminies: so what your saying is just doll hose sucked? And as a whedon fan I loved every season of Buffy but if your not a dedicated fan it may not be fo you. It is a show that you really had to follow to love the last few seasons.

I get it vampires are popular and Hollywood is lazy so lets bring back something that was popular. The problem with that is Joss Whedon was the reason why the TV Show worked where the movie was a EPIC FAIL. So to reboot the series without him won't work and worse yet the show hasn't been gone that long. You reboot things that haven't been around in awhile. This is a stupid decision.

the good things about Hollywood is sure it has writers and producers hell it could even get a director but most reboots they say they are making don't happen(The Crow) and fingers crossed for this shit heap to hit rock bottom. As a hardcore Buffy fan I wont get my hopes up. Will I see it? I would need to hear more news like a director or casting before making that decision.

Guys chill,this is a remake of the film which sucked ,not the tv show relax they said this already that theyre not trying to remake the show just the horrible movie,which makes sense for us since this is the perfect time for a vampire slayer.

WB sucks ass!
first the Yogi Bear movie and now this...

they are totally grasping at straws in a desperate attempt to come up with something to replace Harry Potter when that finishes.

Why can't they leave anything alone?
seriously, the original movie was good for its time and the BVS tv series was epic.

LEAVE IT ALONE

seriously, the thing that made the show great was whedon.

the movie was lame. and this reboot is going to be a shadowy reminder of what the movie was. and wont even come close to what the show was.

I had a chance to meet Joss Whedon during the Dark Horse comics signing. He autographed one of my unofficial fan scripts as well as my dollhouse DVD. http://bit.ly/aQA7yA

This reboot is the stupidest idea ever.
Il stick to my season 8 comics by Joss Whedon and pretend this reboot doesn't even exist.

Dear Fox,

I have been a fan of your movies and television for years. I grew up on the Simpsons and during my teen years you brought me things like Buffy, That 70's Show, and more of the Simpsons. And the movies you gave me to fall in love with such as Alien & Star Wars will forever be classics. But recently I have seen a change in you.

For the past 12 years you have developed a serious problem. An addiction that needs to be taken care of not just for you own good but for those who care about you. You have become addicted to self destructing acts.

Sure it started out harmless enough, you just wanted to bring us more Star Wars and who could blame you for that. But it quickly developed into a serious problem. Instead of creating new and amazing movies like you did in the past you bastardized the ones we loved. Alien vs Predator and the Simpson Movie are good examples. And then you took it further by allowing X-Men 3 and X-Men Origins Wolverine to make it to the big screen, not only ruining a show we loved (Animated X-Men 1990's) but also a long running comic series.

Its time for this to stop before any one else gets hurt. No one wants to see a Buffy Reboot with out Joss. No one wants to see a Rocky Horror Picture Show Reboot. And for the LOVE OF EVERY THING HOLY... no one wants another Star Wars re-release just so you can whore 3D.

So please FOX as a long time friend seek help for this self destructing addiction you face. Or you will not only continue to harm your self but also all those who love you.


Love,

Your Fans
