Buffy reboot planned without Joss Whedon?
Apparently Hollywood does not understand how cult status works. Since Twilight has been busy at the box office making lots of money, someone out in La-La-Land wants to bring Buffy back to the big screen. Without Joss Whedon’s participation. ‘Cause that went so well the first time (coughDonaldSutherlandsuckscough).
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the director of the abominable much-hated-by-Joss 1992 film, Fran Rubel Kuzui, and her husband Kaz Kuzui, along with Roy Lee and Doug Davison of Vertigo Entertainment want to do a reboot.
While Whedon is the person most associated with “Buffy,” Kuzui and her Kuzui Enterprises have held onto the rights since the beginning. Kuzui and Gail Berman, then president of Sandollar Television, got executive producer credits on the TV show.
It would have no connection to Whedon’s television series, or to its comic book continuation. There would be no Angel, no Willow, no Xander, no Spike. This is supposedly the way not to piss off diehard fans.
Honey, a better use of money would be to fund a “Moonlight” movie (since Joel Silver appears to be uninterested) and get some diehard fans who would actually love you, okay?
