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.
