Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot

With the big success of “Twilight,” and the upcoming season 2 of True Blood, sources say Hollywood is going to attempt a remake of Buffy the Vampire. For the series that started as a movie, which then became a tv show, and now will get a “Star Trek” reboot, just shows that Hollywood is never about fresh ideas, it’s always about money. 

 

Reports say, Fran and Rubel Kuzui, who directed the original movie, and Kaz Kazui bought the rights to Buffy in 1992 and now plan to make a new film The Kazuis were credited as executive producers on Buffy the TV show as they owned the rights, but are reportedly not planning to include any of the Vampire Slayer’s supporting characters or sidekicks from the hit show in the movie remake.

The remake will go ahead sans Joss Whedon, which has buffy fans wondering how good would this tent pole film be without Xander, Willow, Giles, Angel, Spike and the rest of Buffy’s gang.  While the slogan “into every generation a slayer is born”  opens the door for a completely new reincarnation of Buffy, one would guess they are going to try and make it darker, leaner, and meaner. Of course they may want to cast Megan Fox, but she’s already signed off for the Fanthom movie.
