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.

The fact that they feel there needs to be a reboot in the first place is rather insulting on a personal level, as though people can't enjoy Buffy for what it had been for seven seasons. It's upsetting and disheartening just hearing this news. I wouldn't mind a possibility for another Buffy project in the near future, like ten or twenty years from now, but only seven/eight years after the series ended? That's just ridiculously unnecessary, and mostly for the money of stealing from other people's original concepts and passing it off as their own and claiming that it's "serving the fans" when really, NONE OF THE FANS WANT THIS AT ALL. It's all false saying that there's an active fanbase wanting a movie.

Newsflash: We do, just with Joss Whedon attached. Without Joss, there is no way.

(just listened the the OMWF soundtrack, now I have the need for a BTVS marathon of some sort, nostalgia of the one and only Buffy, kthx)
