i think its a bad idea, buffy the tv series has a huge fan base, and i dont like the idea of a new cast, for me sarah michelle gellar IS buffy.
The 1st movie was a train wreck and i just dont think it’ll work having the same directors as the film and no one from the tv series being involved, at the end of the day the only reason a new film is being made is because of the huge sucess the series had, not the movie. And because vampires are huge at the min and buffy was the 1st to jump on that bandwagon.
it’d have to something very special to even tempt me into the cinema.

JOSS Whedon. Not Josh.

For someone who insists no one else can do it, you seem willing to give it to Josh…

There is a huge difference between Peter Jackson with Hobbit and Joss Whedon with Buffy. That was a false comparison. Joss created Buffy and he is not irreplaceable. And my comment is not off topic.

instead of rebooting buffy they should look to make FREY,based on BTVS but she is a future slayer in the 22nd cetury.that could start a whole new franchise.

@ Rodney

How exactly would rebooting Star Wars be “ignorant”? What does that even mean? How can an action be “ignorant”? I’m not playing semantics here, i really have no idea what on earth you are talking about.

If you are referring to the fact that the people in control of the franchise rights are probably unwilling to do it – i completely agree… but that wasn’t my point.

As far as “wiping out ALL of the Star Wars movies and starting over” being never accepted mainstream, i completely agree. But rebbots don’t wipe out EVERYTHING or even a majority of what the universe is built on. Again – you missed my point.

Who said anything about throwing out all of the Republic Era/ Clone War stuff? I said “complete overhaul” which means fixing what’s bad/broken, not completely “discard it” where you start with a blank sheet of paper.

You COMPLETELY 100% missed my point and wrote some die-hard fan, knee-jerk response that is totally irrelevant to anything i said.

Well this is interesting. I always thought Joss Whedon had nothing to do with the original Buffy movie and instead was created by someone else. That Whedon just came in and rewrote it for a TV series.

Other then the Buffy stuff, I like Joss Whedon allot. Serenity was awesome, the Firefly series was awesome, and he also did a great graphic novel called Fray, which was like a darker and cooler version of Buffy. So this post leaves me to wonder just how much control did the Kazius have over the series as well? Could the Buffy series been allot better if Whedon just controlled it?

Seeing a couple episodes of Buffy in the past, I remember thinking to myself often that I could make a better vampire slaying series then this myself. Then, seeing Whedon’s newer work over the past few years, I’m thinking, he could of totally made Buffy allot better then, couldn’t he? Or did he just get more creative over the past few years?

I agree Rodney- In fact the smartest thing to down I would say is refocus the Star Wars universe in the old republic era. As sad as it sounds it would be really smart of the lucas gang to do this- especially with the new Old Republic MMO arriving in the next couple of years- cross promotion anyone? But really- it would give them new material, they would be able to escape all prior connections with unliked characters and they could introduce a whole new badass crew.
