rogueslayer452Unfortuately, it looks like the Buffy reboot movie will be happening after all, much to everyone's dismay.
This has been rumored for a while, however to have confirmation that it'll actually be happening is rather distressing, because there simply cannot be Buffy without Joss Whedon involved. I'm sorry, but it's true. While sometimes certain reboots can be good and take on an entirely different entity of their own, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a cult classic and shouldn't be touched no matter what. Besides, the entire fanbase is gonna rip this to shreds, which is why I'm laughing and scoffing at the "active fan base waiting for Buffy to return to the big screen" quote because we do, just WITH JOSS WHEDON ATTACHED TO THE PROJECT. IT'S JOSS OR NOTHING BITCHES, GET IT RIGHT! Seriously, I want to know where this "active fan base" resides and how they interpret that into new movie that deals with nothing we want to see.
I predict this to flop and fail harder than anything, because it is just utter blasphemy. Also considering the entire description of what they want to do with it, I'm fearing they'll do what Joss desperately tried to avoid in creating Buffy Summers as a character. :/
This will not end well, at all.

I don't think I have ever in my life encountered a fanbase that was actually enthusiastic to see an onscreen version of their fandom with different actors, a different creator, and a "tone and style that are relevant to today."
Buffy - all the things that made us like Buffy = this movie will probably not do well.

Date: 2010-11-23 01:46 am (UTC)The article says that it's gonna be just like the Buffy we once knew, but that's just false advisement for something they know they are just gonna mess up the character. And since Joss isn't part of the project at all (not like he would ever want to be anyway) there's no guaranteeing anything that whatever they choose for Buffy to be, would be Buffy that we've come to know and love since the beginning. I'm sorry, but there is only ONE Buffy Anne Summers and she's not going to be replaced by some basic wannabe, no matter who they choose Buffy will always remain SMG for me and everyone else.
