Buffy Without Buffy

Wow, there have been rumors about the future of Buffy the Vampire Slayer for years. With the possibility of a Spike film and even that Ripper BBC thing. Hell at one point it looked like Buffy and the Scoobies would be returning to the big screen.

Well, it looks light Buffy may be, just without the gang. And it'll be a brand new Buffy, played by a new actress with no crossover characters from the series.

Yep. WTFuck!

The director of the original movie, Fran Rubel Kuzui and Kaz Kuzui (her husband) own the rights to Buffy. Evidently they have since the film was made. They want to get back together with Roy Lee and Doug Davison of Vertigo Entertainment and start anew.

The group is meeting with different writers now, and even though they have not ruled out working with Whedon in some capacity, they have not reached out to him. As I've talked about on here before, vampires are hip again. True Blood, Twilight and all those new shows that are in the works. If you own a vampire property, get it moving. Fuck.

They want to make a dark and gritty feature. None of the shows characters other than Buffy. Just dark, tough and ready for sequels. Remember how Whedon wasn't really happy with the direction that this very group took his script in. Remember how the movie is ok, but not at all great. Then how Joss came back and made it into one of the greatest shows on TV. Yep. Fuck. Keep up with the comic series. It's the only good Buffy we're gonna have from here on out.


Some of you might know that at one point, there was a Buffy animated series in the works. It never got made, but a teaser for it is online. Thought I'd end this with that video. Was it a great idea? It sure wasn't as bad as this new movie shit.
