Buffy movie is in the works.....

blessed be my angel sarah · 05-26-2009, 03:26 PM

But with a totally new cast

Perez Hiltons view on it

We're talking a brand-spankin new Buffy, as in no more Sarah Michelle Gellar!

The widely popular TV series (based on a little-seen s****y film), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, may be making a comeback to the big screen, but without the help of anyone who made it worth watching.

The owners to the series rights, Kuzui Enterprises, are looking to create a relaunch of the of series, much like the newly vamped (no pun intended) up blockbuster movie Star Trek. The film would have no connection to the TV series, no inclusion of familiar characters, and as for now, does not even include the masterful work of Buffy creator Joss Whedon.

This, of course, begs the question of who the hell is going to see this movie if the fans don't even have the creator to fall back on to make the s**t work?

We guess it would mean a new slayer for a new generation. But we think the only slayer any generation is interested in is Buffy herself. Maybe there should be more efforts on the reunion then a revamp (pun intended)!

Buffy without Sarah or Joss? Sacrilege!

onursmg · 05-26-2009, 04:08 PM

I've heard that. That's really ridiculous! They are destroying a cult TV Show.

Bynesrules · 05-26-2009, 04:13 PM

No!!! Sarah is the one and only Buffy

*Sarah_Fan4Ever* · 05-26-2009, 04:14 PM

What the....!!! I mean how stupid is that?!?!?!. They'll destroy the show!

sarahbrazilianfan · 05-26-2009, 04:43 PM

WTF ???

This is ridiculous ! I'm definitely not gonna watch this crap

smgfan1 · 05-26-2009, 05:48 PM

There are so many reasons why this movie is a horrible idea, example:
-its only been 6 years...umm hello
-there was already a 'movie' and it sucked
-there is only 1 actress that can play Buffy and that is Sarah (even though Kristy played her in the movie, Sarah made the character real)
-without the original actors/characters (willow/alyson, xander/nicolas, etc...) the cast will suck because they captured who they are
-as someone pointed out on another board they CANNOT have a disney actress play the role of Buffy, that would be a true insult of Sarah's AMAZING acting abilities
-without Joss and/or Sarah in the project, its just not Buffy
-Buffy IS NOT Star Trek or one of those older Hollywood Shows that the can just re-create it was the actors that made the characters that made the show

...ok im done, but seriously as someone is a obsessed Buffy and Sarah fan its such a bad idea to do this because it just wont work, its going to tarnish the legacy and its not right...

eadweard · 05-27-2009, 01:05 AM

Excuse my "french": CRAP!!! (and double CRAP to those life-sucking Kuzuis: their movie was a bomb; they've been profiting from Joss's visionary TV show too long!)

blessed be my angel sarah · 05-27-2009, 06:52 AM

couldnt agree with all of you more. when i was told about it, i was not happy and i'm still not. joss took a chance when he did the show after how bad the movie was, and he turned the show into an amazing success with a world wide fan base, why ruin it now? if they do the movie its going to ruin the legacy and buffy will no longer be the greatest sci fi show it still is

Perez Hilton wrote this on his website

Yesterday, we mentioned that a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer flick is in the works, but it will go on without Sarah Michelle Gellar and, more importantly, without beloved creator Joss Whedon.

As expected, fans are raising hell!

Hoping to shed some light on the project, TV Guide contacted Joss to get some much deserved answers. Unfortunately, they were disappointed. This was the entire interview:

TV Guide: What do you think about this Buffy movie they're making without you?

Joss Whedon: I hope it's cool.

WTF?!?!?!

Much like a text message, we can't seem to detect the tone of this. We can't tell if this has a happy "I don't give a s**t" statement or a "I'm p****d as s**t. Why are they effing up my life's work?!" statement.

Maybe this means things really aren't finalized and he's not going to go into it until it does. Maybe he is ready to do something else besides Buffy?

Maybe…

Too many maybes!!!

Makes you wonder why Joss didn't get the rights to the film. Thanks for the news.

sarahbrazilianfan · 05-28-2009, 03:35 PM

Hmmmm...We can't really tell what he means by that lol

eadweard · 05-29-2009, 12:56 AM

Well, the Kuzuis have the rights to BVS, and Joss isn't going to badmouth them. They could pull the plug on the 8th season and any other Buffy project that he might be contemplating.

**andrew r** · 05-29-2009, 10:26 AM

This is quite true Ed! It's better to say nothing over this.

ohiofan · 05-29-2009, 10:32 AM

They won't make much money off the folks who live on our end of the street!

**andrew r** · 05-29-2009, 10:39 AM

Nor me!

Exactly, Pat; vote with our wallets - by keeping our money in our pockets.

Thanks to XanFan32 for this information

I thought after what happened with Star Wars that film companies tried to retain all rights but thank god some still hadn't learned that lesson by 1992

Quote:

Just a quick mention: Joss spoke at Wesleyan University last night. I was there... and he spoke about the "reboot," more than I had ever seen him comment. Of course, no photography/videotaping was allowed, so I will paraphrase. He said he really enjoyed the Star Trek reboot, that it was done with a respect for the original. He also said that when he first made the Buffy movie, he asked for the TV rights, which were given to him with no issues: they weren't seen as important. But the Kuzuis did retain all movie rights. Which is why we are where we are now. He said, without too much bitterness, that he was probably the only person in Hollywood who *couldn't* made a Buffy movie right now without getting sued.He also suggested that Fox might try and get a piece of the pie: a la Watchmen. He wasn't sure how the rights would all come together.

He spoke about it with only his usual level of self-deprecation and humor. He sounds like he is still grateful to the Kuzuis for making his little script in the first place, no matter how the first movie turned out. (He also made a number of Donald Sutherland references. Apparently? Paul Rubens is awesome. That Sutherland guy? Not so much).

......he seems fairly resigned to it and that it's out of his control.
