Joss is Boss, so GTFO.

Unfortuately, 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.

Never did watch Buffy, but I just don't understand why they have to do a new version - even if it's a film - of something that last aired less than ten years ago. (Yes, this translates to stay the frak away from Alias, people!)

Not only that, but the fact that they're forgetting that Joss Whedon created the character in the first place since he wrote the script for the original movie, which was always ruined by Hollywood, and that prompted him to take control over his own creation by creating the television series. And this seems to be misusing his creation all over again due to this reboot. It must be a slap in the face and punch in the gut for him to see Hollywood just take his character and mold it to their liking.

There are certain things you just CANNOT TOUCH no matter what, and doing this without his consent? I just, I can't.

WHAT IS WITH ALL THE REBOOTS LATELY? REBOOTING AND REMAKING EVERYONE IS NOT ORIGINALITY FOLKS, IT IS PURE LAZINESS AND THIS IS WHY HOLLYWOOD HAS BECOME SUCH A JOKE NOW AND NOBODY WANTS TO WATCH YOUR CRAP. SRSLY.

Yeah, which makes this news even more infuriating to hear about. :/ At least Joss gave his own words and thoughts on this travesty (http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b212644_joss_whedon_reacts_buffy_movie_news_i.html#ixzz164EOjj8t) in his usual kind of manner, bitterness disguised in mild hilarity and much audibly sighing.
