?Buffy The Vampire Slayer? Movie Remake in the Works ? But Without Joss Whedon

?Buffy The Vampire Slayer? Movie Remake in the Works   But Without Joss Whedon(HMG Celebrity News) ? Yet another vampire-themed movie is set to reboot as Warner Bros. is sinking its teeth back into Buffy The Vampire Slayer.� Joss Whedon wrote the original 1992 Buffy movie, featuring Kristy Swanson as Buffy, and which gave birth to the much-loved Sarah Michelle Gellar TV series.� This time around Warner Bros. has hired relative unknown Whit Anderson to write the script. Filmmakers say this time around the movie would not revisit the vampire slayer?s high school days, attempting instead to capture the ?witty, tough, and sexy? heroine in a new way.

Of course Joss Whedon was asked how he feels about Buffy being rebooted without him and he responded in humorous tone to E! Online?s Kristin Dos Santos.� Here?s the email he sent to Dos Santos:

This is a sad, sad reflection on our times, when people must feed off the carcasses of beloved stories from their youths ? just because they can?t think of an original idea of their own, like I did with my Avengers idea that I made up myself.

Obviously I have strong, mixed emotions about something like this. My first reaction upon hearing who was writing it was, ?Whit Stillman AND Wes Anderson?� This is gonna be the most sardonically adorable movie EVER.?� Apparently I was misinformed. Then I thought, ?I?ll make a mint!� This is worth more than all my Toy Story residuals combined!? Apparently I am seldom informed of anything. And possibly a little slow. But seriously, are vampires even popular any more?

I always hoped that Buffy would live on even after my death.� But, you know, AFTER.� I don?t love the idea of my creation in other hands, but I?m also well aware that many more hands than mine went into making that show what it was. And there is no legal grounds for doing anything other than sighing audibly. I can?t wish people who are passionate about my little myth ill. I can, however, take this time to announce that I?m making a Batman movie.� Because there?s a franchise that truly needs updating. So look for The Dark Knight Rises Way Earlier Than That Other One And Also More Cheaply And In Toronto, rebooting into a theater near you.

Leave me to my pain!� Sincerely, Joss Whedon.
