Please keep in mind, I have no interest in a Joss-free Buffy reboot, but I did say that after the smash performance of Twilight BtVS would be headed to the big screen.

Travesty?

which I didn't think was possible these days. This just smacks of greediness and with no real love for the franchise or the character.

So where is everyone? We haven't had anything new to talk about for six years.

Crappy or not BtVS is headed for the big screen.

Let the riot begin.

You had me at Orgazmo.

[> [> Okay, I've done some research, and this team actually has more experience than "Orgazmo." -- Joe, 08:18:34 05/27/09 Wed [1] (98.211.130.116)

The Kuzuis themselves aren't the most experienced, but Vertigo Entertainment has made some significant movies in the past few years. Their most notable movies include the US remake of "The Grudge," the Sandra Bullock/Keanu Reeves romance "The Lake House," the Nicole Kidman horror/scifi movie "The Invasion," and the zombie movie "Quarantine" from last year. These people might actually have the resources to make a decent film.

And that won four freaking Oscars.

Optimism isn't in the spirit of the franchise - everything has to be doomed, doomed, doooooomed....

Be brave. Watch. For me.

Okay, so they do have the money.

Now, can they get the Joss?

And since SMG has worked for them before, and is perhaps still peeved at Whedon might she do a cameo, maybe showing up in the the last five minutes as her future self?

If they go the prequel route she might serve the same role as Nimoy did in the new Star Trek.

...but it would be great to get him involved, even if only to get the hardcore fans to stop whining.

I think the best thing they could possibly do would be to bring him on as a consulting producer, and get permission to use the character Angel. I think that most hardcore fans would be appeased by that, since Buffy and Angel are the two most iconic and recognizable characters in the mythos.

But yeah, I don't think even that's entirely necessary. The fan outcry that's erupting over this really is overblown, and it won't amount to much when it's time for it to open in theaters. The general consensus on the internet a couple months ago was that the Wolverine movie was a worthless cash-grab, and it opened #1 at the box office and the studio is scrambling to give it a sequel and its own spin-off.

Actually, I'm horrified and not in the way you're supposed to horrified by a horror movie.

Actually the reboot they need to do is of -- Reboot. Not the first computer generated 3D Saturday morning cartoon but still the best.

[> No marty Noxon -- SoloSpinout, 00:52:28 06/04/09 Thu [1] (75.48.27.211)

Sorry, I can not remember her real name.

A movie ought to be made...and the theme of the Fantasy Movie should be as dark or darker then a 15th generation Batman.

Buffy? My choice? What is Ellen Barkin looking like? an aged Slayer?

[> [> I want Kristen Bell in the role. -- Joe, 20:33:39 06/04/09 Thu [1] (98.211.130.116)

She's got the acting chops for it (look at the first season of Veronica Mars for proof of that), plus casting her in the role would definitely get the geek crowd back onboard with this movie.
