New Buffy The Vampire Slayer Movie Franchise in Development?
After Buffy The Vampire Slayer went off the air in 2003, there was a lot of talk of continuing the story on the big screen. Unfortunately, that never came to pass, possibly because Sarah Michelle Gellar wasn’t interested and Joss Whedon was busy with other projects, but the show’s eighth season has since been continued in comic book form. This week, however, it was announced that Buffy may return to the big screen in another form entirely.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fran Rubel Kuzui, director of the original Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie, is looking to put together a relaunch of the movie franchise that would be unrelated to the TV series. Whedon, who also wrote the script for the original movie, probably will not be involved in this reboot, although they have yet to rule him out entirely. The idea is to introduce a brand new cast of characters under the grounds that each generation has its own vampire slayer to protect it. In a way it’s unfortunate because Sarah Michelle Gellar’s career could probably use a franchise or two right about now.
Kuzui had this to say: “Everything has its moment. Every movie takes on a life at some point, and this seems like the moment to do this.” Yeah, vampires are in… we get it. Personally I have a soft spot for the original movie and I never really got into the TV series so I’d be willing to give this a shot. The question is, what will all the hardcore Whedon fans have to say about it?

I wish they would just continue the tv series….it was better than the movie in every way possible.
Posted by Matt Keith on May 26th, 2009with out sarah michelle gellar the whole thing seems kinda retarded to me
Posted by Rick on May 26th, 2009If Luke Perry returns then I’m pumped.
Posted by Kasper F. Nielsen on May 26th, 2009I liked the original movie. I dunno, that cast really worked for me. It would be great if some indy filmmaker just did a straight-up sequel starring Kristy Swanson. Donald Sutherland could return in a cameo as a ghostly voice or apparition of her dead mentor. She could be searching for a successor and then get slain after she finds one.
Posted by Mason on May 26th, 2009No way, this peron is a idiot, fuck her, fuck her up her stupid ass anyone who supports this and joss isent part of this, are dumb fucks!
Posted by John Smith on May 26th, 2009I’m onboard, so long as Whedon doesn’t have any part in it.
Posted by Wintle on May 26th, 2009I just really don’t get why you wouldn’t include Whedon and the cast of the TV show. Buffy still has a lot of fans and it seems to me including Whedon/Gellar would be the best way to make money, which is all this project is about. It also happens to be the only way this movie has any hopes of being GOOD.
Dumb.
Posted by Nate on May 26th, 2009I found myself really getting involved with buffy a few years back when it was repeated on TV. I got my g/f interested and we’re both fans. I really don’t see the point of bringing it back when some of the most important elements aren’t coming back. No Whedon? No SMG? No point.
Posted by Byron on May 26th, 2009I can’t imagine possibly caring less.
Posted by Shut-Up Ed on May 26th, 2009This is the dumbest idea I’ve heard in awhile. There’s a very good reason the first film was unsuccessful at starting a franchise and a good reason why Joss basically disowned it and created the T.V. series. Whatever fan base the series has will turn on it without the series principals involved, plus I’d personally rather season season 8 brought to the big screen.
Posted by Peter on May 26th, 2009I’ve watched maybe 20 episodes of Buffy, and I still can’t get into the series. But I love Whedon’s Firefly and Dollhouse is starting to get interesting.
Fans of this franchise and others can’t seem to get over replacing the original stars. I think the Star Trek movie shows that the majority don’t care.
In a book called “The 101 Most Influential People Who Never Lived,” published in 2006, Buffy comes in at #44. Capt. Kirk and Spock come in at #50! If you’re wondering, at #1 is the Marlboro Man. The authors admit that the ranking is subjective, but Buffy does seem to have a large influence.
Posted by Reed Farrington on May 26th, 2009I’d love to see a return to Buffy by Whedon and the original cast. Since that isn’t going to happen, I’d be behind this if Whedon was owning it, even if the original cast wasn’t around.
The magic was with Whedon’s writing, directing and vision for the series. The cast was great, no doubt, but I daresay Joss Whedon could pull off a new Buffy movie or TV series with an all new cast.
Without him? FAIL.
Posted by Michael Natale on May 26th, 2009I’ll never understand Whedonites.
The movie was better.
Posted by Ryan M. on May 27th, 2009I was super excited about the press release about a buffy movie, and then soon I went from a girly squeel to a disappointed Yeor like sigh. What! No Joss and no Sarah! I am a fan of the TV show, and continue to fill the void by reading it in comic form. I saw the original movie when it first came out, and I do remember falling asleep halfway through. As a fan of Buffy and everything else Joss, I am very certain that without the key elements of chemistry ie: Buffy, the scoobies, the movie will only be a blatant effort to cash in on the Twilight craze. Pathetic! Corporate greed pretty much can suck the beauty out of anything. BTW…I saw the Star Trek prequel, it was nice but not really reminicent of the message Gene Rodenberry had worked his entire writing career to build. However, it was a really cool JJ Abrams producation. I left feeling oddly unsatisfied, like when you eat chips for dinner and afterward you are neiither nourished, nor fed, but rather thirsty.
Posted by Malita on May 28th, 2009The movie Buffy was alright, but nothing compared to the series. It would be unthinkable to have a reboot of the Buffy universe without Joss Whedon involved. Especially when he has so many fans. I don’t know what they were thinking. Ridiculous.
Posted by Ron on June 2nd, 2009they cant just make a movie without joss cause then its just some stupid rip off
Posted by Bex on June 3rd, 2009Better than the original movie? Hell no. The original movie was a vampire spoof. It was SUPPOSED to be stupid. sheesh
Posted by AerylonBW on June 4th, 2009im the hugest fan of Buffy, i saw the movie when it first came out, back then it was cool but now you look at it its all bad acting and the whole layout wasnt working, the concept is great which is why the show was just amazing, SMG really made the show, and joss’s ideas really helpd build the structure for it, honestly they can try to make this movie without any of them but i promise you this, there are a shit load of buffy fans out there who will be really pisst if they dont do it right and dont have any of the real elements from the show in it, i know that it will be chaos . so for everyones sake they better include joss and the series cast, besides the first movie woulndt have happend if it werent for joss he wrote and created the movie.
Posted by Ande on June 8th, 2009well they came out with the movie first
Posted by kelsey on June 9th, 2009and than made it into a tv show with diff caharacters
we survived that im sure everything will be fine
with the new cast even though it would be great to have
any of the old cast for either the movie or the tv show
but it would be really interesting to see who they think
would be the new buffy!
change could be good. but hey we all know who the orriginal buffy was and she was good
and same with SMG personally i loved the tv series
but they really cant bring that back and if they want
to make a movie than it would be pointless to have smg
back because we will want to see more of her and
the rest of the group.
and plus they also got to keep the inteerest
of the new younger group. out with the old in with the new.
It’s not wise to make a product so many consumers in their prime audience (myself included) will not even support. Joss is my master!
Posted by Annie on June 10th, 2009i dont like the idea of recreating buffy the vampire slayer .. im not guna wanna see something that doesnt have the original cast in it .. not very impressed
Posted by Jordan on June 10th, 2009I am all for it but… Joss Whedon HAS to be involved! He is the genius behind the whole thing!! I think the concept of a new primary slayer to focus on is a great idea (SMG had her chance and chose to end it all, oh well). I hope they hold true to the fact that there are in fact many slayers now. Also, how great would it be to include some cameos once in a while!!
Posted by Anna on June 10th, 2009If they are talking about something new and different from the series and still have the buffy fanbase, they can do it by doing FRAY instead. you can reboot the Buffy franchise keep all of us whedonites happy and even incorporate Buffy without any other character resurrections. FRAY would be a WIN WIN situation!!!
Posted by Trin on June 11th, 2009As a complete absolute fan of the original movie and show, I actually don’t mind this movie. I think the Season 8 Comics are amazing and I think a movie that is steering in a different direction could be cool. I personally don’t even mind the fact that Sarah Michelle Gellar isn’t doing it. At all. I think it’s shitty that she never gave it a second thought to do it earlier when the show is what put her out there in the first place. If anything, she should have done as a “thank you” to fans. But I’m pumped. I just hope it’s dark.
Posted by Eddie on June 12th, 2009Whedon is clearly the man who made buffy what it is today. IF you think contrary to the fact then right now we wouldnt even be talking about another movie for buffy the vampire slayer. Its a slap in the face to Whedon for not having a say or piece in this movie. Regardless if you hate him or not. I dont know why anyone would think that Whedon shouldnt be consulted on this. New actors wont matter its the writing.
Posted by G-BIZZ on June 12th, 2009Whedon is clearly the man who made buffy what it is today.

Posted by G-BIZZ on June 12th, 2009i cant belive that anyone would even consider making a new btvs movie without using the same actors from the tv siers. to millions of people the tv series is buffy. you would be better off burning all copies of the 1992 buffy movie and pretend it never existed. the only reason to make a movie and use the name buffy the vampier slayer would be to try to cash in on the popularity of the tv show…but i think we all know how sucessivel a movie without the origanal tv cast would be. now would be a great time to make a buffy movie with the origional tv cast including joss vampiers are popular right now so if your going to do it do it right and use the tv cast and joss and do it right.
Posted by tramey on June 14th, 2009I personally think that they are trying to cash in on the vamp popularity and the Buffyverse cult following (I hate that word “cult”). I think that if they really want to make this work they need to cast the television show cast and Joss. If they don;t do that they need to rename the movie “(new slayer name)the vampire slayer” and leave the Buffy name behind altogether.
I as a fan from the beginning cannot see Buffy as anyone other then SMG. Sorry I am not even a huge fan of hers but I have to admit she owned that role and no one can play that role and make it believable to me.
Posted by Tammy on June 16th, 2009Ok, who in there right mind would make a new Buffy film without Sarah and Joss, OR the REST of the original cast???? 2003 was not that long ago, and if they do this movie it will give the Buffy name a horrible meaning. If I took a poll on all Whedon Fan website to see who’d see the film, there wouldn’t be anyone.
Don’t ruin what is possible one of the greatest series of all time. Or I can guarantee a nerd army will gather and destroy all involved in this project
Posted by Jackie on June 18th, 2009ok the whole new buffy the vampire movie is not going to be the same with out sarah and the rest off the crew i think that the new movie should have sarah and some of the others in the movie other wise its just not the same!
or you could like make season eight and try getting the scobbie crew to do it!
Posted by April on June 20th, 2009I will watch if Joss whedon returns. However, the way the last one ended, there would be thousands of slayers all over the world, not just one. It would be a totally differen movie/show. And if it isn’t phenomanal, it will get slammed by fans who expect to be as good as the original, which is a tall order. The writing would have to be amazing, and the actors would need extreme talent, as the previous ones did. also, it would be a good idea to have at least one charcter from the original. And propbaly several writers .from the show
Posted by Alizabeth Burns on June 20th, 2009This movie is going to be fucking shit without Sarah Michelle Gellar and the rest of the buffy gang.
It would just be better if Joss was making the movie or even better bring the tv series back =]
Posted by Dimity on June 20th, 2009i don’t know anyone who eats chips for dinner.
Posted by untilted on June 20th, 2009Why ruin a good vampire idea by taking it too damn far. Buffy is awesome the way it is, and it’s over, and it had a good ending, so drop it because it is obvious beyond doubt that any idea they have without Joss Whedon is going to suck, and ruin the amazingness of Buffy that had maintained itself for so long. Joss Whedon makes Buffy what it is, and Sarah Michelle Gellar fills in the rest, so why not just make up another vampire story and have some creativity that isn’t stolen from someone better.
Posted by stupididea on June 21st, 2009There’s no need to make a new movie or continue the show. We Buffy fans have the comics, the books, and Whedon is doing a new series. I get it, we miss Buffy, but that won’t do anything but make you upset. Try Whedon’s new show Dollhouse starring Eliza Dushku. If they make a new movie, they make it. It may suck. It may in 5 years get made into a TV show. Until it comes out, I wait, then I’ll have my opinion.
Posted by Daulton on June 22nd, 2009I am a huge Buffy fan and really want to see a movie! Although many of my questions were answered in The Queen of the slayers which picks up right where the tv series lead off.
Posted by Justin on June 23rd, 2009I love the Buffy series so so soooo much!!! Angel was also amazing, the way in which the two programs entwinted with characters making cameo appearances in either show was particularly amazing!
I did not get into Firefly so much, but Dollhouse is really getting good, let’s hope they don’t axe it like they did with Tru Calling!!! (That was f***king annoying as Tur Calling was getting so good!!!!)
The original Buffy movie was an absaloute mess, a piece of s***t! Whedon made the TV series with such passion, humour and talent that it became such a fantasatic series and had SUCH a cult following, it still has.
If the new movie has the original cast or at least some of them for cameo appearances and is made my Joss Whedon or at least heavily infuluenced by him, then it will be great!!!! Anyone else agree? Co’mon guys!!!
We love you SMG and Joss Whedon!!!!!!!!

Posted by Sam Kozlowski on June 23rd, 2009Um…As a HUGE fan of Buffy sense its debute on t.v. and have seen every episode(I own all seasons), I could never imagine another Buffy. It will ruin everything Joss has done. I know the orginal movie was not made to Whedons liking (even with his involvement) and without him I can only guess it will once again dissapoint drastically. Leave Buffy alone with just the memories of the original series, the way Joss intented the whole franchise to be. Unless he and all the original members from the show decide to make a movie…not interested. And all true Buffy and Joss fans should agree and rally to only see it if Joss and series cast do it, and do it right!!!
Posted by BiggestBufFan on June 24th, 2009i like the tv show better and the new buffy seems retarded because none of of the original characters are going to be in it. and if its going to start now again they should have just continued the show that ended in 2003.
Posted by lia johnson on June 27th, 2009I am a hardcore Buffy TV series FAN.
Posted by Juan on July 1st, 2009They stopped airing the repeats on DSTV last year (Angel and Buffy) I am now looking for to purchase the whole 7 seasons and was thrilled to find out that the 8th season was continued in comic form! I wish they would bring it back though! Sarah must just get with the game, it will most definately become a smash hit since vampires are in again!!!
im a huge buffy fan movie and tv show andi think this is an absolute horrible idea unless it were a continuation of the show or unless sarah was involved. there really is no other buffy
Posted by dustin on July 1st, 2009When I first heard of the new movie I got excited, and then I started reading about it. I am more likely to see a remake of Nightmare On Elm Street with BIlly Bob Thornton as Freddy Krueger than this piece of Shit. Really this group could not make the first movie worth a damn with Joss what makes them think they could fare any better without him? and no TV cast. Tell you what, don’t piss off your core fan base or don’t bother wasting anyone’s time or any studios money.
Posted by S.A.W on July 12th, 2009I could tell you everything there is to know about BtVS. If they are going to make a movie, it has to be done with Sarah, Alyson, Nicky, Tony…..and of course God (Joss)!!!! Otherwise, what’s the point? Anyone who’s a true fan will be pissed, and commenting on how horrible the movie is before it even hits theatres!!!
Posted by Nikki on July 17th, 2009if they redo buffy with none of the original characters and thery ruin the buffy verse i will kill myself!! not joking
Posted by lucas gaschker on July 17th, 2009I went to see the Hangover recently and was suprised how funny a movie it was, seemed like a swingers for 2009.
Posted by Smiley Emotions on July 21st, 2009There are alot of bad talk towards joss whedon lets be honest we wouldn’t be fans if it was anyone else that wrote the script. so people that is talking crap about joss whedon your an idoit seriously. i actually like the idea they want to change the whole story by using different characters and so on. joss whedon has to be part of it, if the directors may own rights to it but we know who it really belongs too. lol they are goin to really mess up the show i can already tell and sad part is because of it it might end the whole vampire hipe thats goin on. i say joss whedon should make his own version of the next slayer and go on from there haha we know he can do it and anyone that doesn’t give him a chance with it are just a fool.
Posted by John on July 21st, 2009TO RECREATE BUFFY WILL DESTROY THE WHOLE SERIES!!!!!
Posted by Speedy on July 25th, 2009Instead y not re do Buffy’s orign before her arrival in Sunnydale. SMG will probably refuse as she reportedly wanted to shy away from the show that made her a household name but the new movie should include Joyce and Hank Summers and Buffy’s stint in the mental ward. if not they should leave well lone before they detroy what the fans loved.
If you’re going to recreate a cult phenomenon you have to include the stars (Sarah Michelle Gellar, Allison Hannigan, Anthony Stewart Head) and the creator Joss Whedon! I was also a huge Angel fan and maybe you could finally find out what happened to him, Wesley, and Gunn.
Posted by Mkay on July 27th, 2009I was totally pumped for the movie but then like everyone else heard it was a remake with a diff cast and was disappointed. What they should do is use the same universe but a different slayer(cuz now there are thousands). Then they should have a small cameo apperance from our lovable blond slayer and the old scooby gang. Now that would be a movie I could get behind.
Posted by marvelgrl on July 29th, 2009Sarah Michelle Gellar needs to stop holding out and do the damn movie! She has NOTHING else going on right now and she is going to be forgotten as an actress. All of the fans would greatly appreciate it. I understand she is pregnant right now, but come on, lets do the damn thing after a few months lets get the ball rolling.
Posted by Justin on August 3rd, 2009Buffy was amazing. The TV show kicked ass! The origional movie sucked. Kirsty Swanson was ok, but she had NONE of Sarah’s flair!!!! Sarah was the ultimate Buffy, gorgeous, sassy with a fabulous high kick!!! I’m all for a movie, and I’m all for making it different to the TV show… my idea is an undescoverd potential that came into her powers is confused and is under attack from some big evil, and the Buffy cast are all high and mighty with Sarah as the head, and they have to train her, and the evil is too big and Buffy has to come out of retirement reluctantly- it would be amazing!!!!!!
Posted by Matt on August 4th, 2009omg it wud b really exciting for a movie to come out BUT there is no point without the original cast like sarah michelle gellar, alyson hannigan and david boreanaz etc. otherwise it wud b just like the movie in 1992 a failure and they shud put the season 8 on tv bcoz nobody reads comics and everybody misses the series especially me anyway thats my opinion!!
Posted by isla on August 8th, 2009When Buffy, ended I was so down. Especially since all the best T.V. stuff ended at the same timeish (Farscape, Stargate). But Buffy hit me the worst. I really wish it hadn’t ended. Best show ever…
Posted by Grant on August 8th, 2009The movie idea sounds like a total blow out. No Whedon, no Gellar, no Buffy
How can you not have the cast from the tv show?
Not just SMG but what about Nick (xander) or allison (willow) or even david! (Angel) they are staples you can’t have buffy without willow, xander, gyles, angel, or spike….didn’t the first movie prove that?
Its such a complex story to grasp that you can’t cut it down to a 2 hour movie about a cheerleader that can slay vampires.
Plus if they hire any knowns or disney channel ”actors” then I can bet no btvs tv show fans will even bother to watch it….
Its just a mess…just because twulight is making all kinds of money does not mean anything with a vampire will
Posted by kati on August 10th, 2009I am a huge Buffy fan and cannot see a movie without the original cast. Tie it in with Angel and you could have an amazing movie. Angel ended with an apocolypse and an open ending. Just finish it off with Spike and Angel saving the world with the help of Buffy and the super slayers……It could be great…..
But they will probably hire Disney actors to continue it and make it a joke…….
Posted by Dawn on August 11th, 2009I don’t know why people keep saying ‘it won’t work without the original cast’.
Posted by Sean on August 12th, 2009The original cast is that of the movie. The whole buffy universe originated from the movie. It was a movie first and foremost. Sarah Michelle Gellar may have made Buffy a household name, but she is by no means the original Buffy. That was Kristy Swanson, who was great in the role. I’m really looking forward to seeing who they get to be the new buffy. Its exciting, its change! Im picturing Hayden Panettiere??
The show was fantastic i loved it, but it ran its course, and the cast of the series are definitely way too old to reprise their roles in any format. It just wouldn’t work. Nick Brendan is in his 40s! Xander would be about 28/29 now. It wouldn’t make any sense.
Who cares if Joss Whedon writes it or not. Its only a movie. We get the gist of what Buffy is all about. Maybe the new writers will put a different spin on it? Why do people always just write things off without giving them a chance?? Its really sad. It was only atv show. Get over it.
Heh, good point Sean. Hayden would be a very interesting role for Buffy. However, you are kind of missing the bigger picture. I guess I can be considered a hard core fan but I also love a good action flick. A re-imagining could probably be epic like the Star Trek movie was. But the Buffy series is still going on. Granted that is in comic book form but still with Joss Wheden at the helm. With that “Universe” still alive a new movie and cast will not touch well with the crazy hardcore fans and will not have the important fan base(as I said before I’m a hardcore fan but not a crazy hardcore fan). I personaly can’t wait to see a real vampire on the big screen because those fake Twilight vamps are total posers. I mean walking outside in the sun light and not one person tries to stake them?? I think we need a slayer back. ANY SLAYER.
Posted by marvelgrl on August 14th, 2009The only reason this movie would be made was because of the fans from the TV series. Now don’t get me wrong I enjoy the original movie in itself, but you have to remember that there is alot of history in the tv series and has set most of the boundries and laws within the buffy universe. There is a considerable diffrence in the legend and folk lore of the original movie and its tv spin off. In the tv series vampires turn to dust when they are staked in the heart…verses in the original movie Buffy can stake a vampire and he dances around saying it hurts till he finally falls over. Now the original movie has been worked into the series by the comic books. They even explain what happens to Pike and all this was supervised by Whedon, even the original movie was writen by him, so if he is not in any part of this new movie it has no right to be made. As well I understand that most of the cast is getting up in age, but if you think about it Brenden played a 16 year old when he was 25, so even if they have a flash to present time during the movie they could have the cast be in it, considering they still look younger then they really are. As well a new cast can be brought in especially if its a remake, but making Buffy like Kristy Swanson is a retarded idea. Considering kristy swanson played a horrible Buffy complaired to SMG. sure ditzy was part of the story at the begining, but kristy was overly ditzy and with the rest of the story it just made the story into a spoof, verses SMG and the rest of the TV show cast made it more believeable as a horror story placed within a drama with its comedic moments. I’m not against people that love the original buffy, but those that haven’t watched the tv show and are putting it down, should at least look at Whedon’s more developed work and give the TV show its own credits considering once again this movie would never been thought of to be remade if it hadn’t had such a fallowing from the TV series fans.
Posted by sabrina100 on August 14th, 2009After 6 years with no (on Screen)Buffy, I think now would be a perfect time to bring the series cast back for a film or two. While not a hardcore Whedon fan I am a big fan, And I know I would run to the thearter to see thism I can only imagine that Hard core Whedon followers would be camped out in custume waiting to get tickets.It would make Fox a ton of money and give a good boost to all of the cast members Career, needed or not.
Posted by John on August 15th, 2009In short, only good could come of this for everyone. WHY NOT???!!!
total crap!!!! if they dont take the old actors like sarah,alisson,anthony,nikki.. this movie will suck so badly.. I mean whats the point?? no buffy fan is going to watch that movie if it has nothing to do with the tv show..!!!!!
Posted by WTF??!!! on August 29th, 2009its total idiocy to try and remake it without joss sarah or the cast.
it wont work in any way shape or form its like somone saying oh lets make a new harry potter but this time lets make it errrm johnny baxter and he cn have a pony instead of an owl (lol i ramble)
stupid!
and i also dont understand ppl who say i love the movie and haye joss whedon …erm hate to tell you this but the movie came from his beautiful mind too dearys
anyways yeah buffy without buffy is dumb and i think it ended too perfectly to dive back into another story anyway kindof like cindarella 2 which bummed me out i mean cmon “and they all lived happily ever after ……but then this other thing happened wanna see?” hmmmmmz
ok im getting annoying now but who cares no one really reads all the reviews properly anyways right meh dunno
Posted by emmar on August 31st, 2009yeah bye.
I love the whole idea of bringing back buffy the vampire slayer and that it wont be with the scubby gang but focus on a different generation but i hope they know that the tv serious put more perspective to the movie cause honestly the movie sucked ass!!!!!! Buffy the Vampire Slayer tv serious had character and story lines that actually fit and mad sense through the entire seven years on air! if they do this looking at a different generation i hope they know they have to do it before Buffy casue there is no longer just on slayer now! its who ever was a potential slayer or those who might be choosen are now a slayer so there is no longer “the”. i saw take it from the end and progressing it from there.
Posted by Brian on September 5th, 2009Emmar i totally agree with you on everything! its crazy for them to try to rewrite things cause they are going to confuse the old viewers and then when the new viewers look at it then the series they are going to be like wtf
Posted by Brian on September 5th, 2009I love buffy the vampire slayer…it had so many themes witch most people culd relate 2 the first movie…wasnt good..because it didnt have realy anythng that most people culd relate 2 and that the vampire’s ware stupid….da buffy series was great…so i beleave if they wanted 2 make another movie they culd pull it off…and in this movie maybe buffy and her luv intrest culd stay together…but strugle trew dere relationship
Posted by Jojo 4rm ireland on September 7th, 2009Considering Joss is the original creator of the entire buffy empire..its just straight up idiotic not to include him in something that others would make money off of..its his idea, his creation. It is completely wrong to not include him in his work.
Posted by Paige on September 7th, 2009And the movie compared to the show was a joke. Maybe it was the time it was filmed in or what..but the show made progression after progression and is still spoken about today. If they were to carry anything on with Buffy they would definitely need to include THAT cast..not the movie cast..the movie cast wouldnt even be able to pull it off..they are all so far off the map..not to mention way to old to play characters that would still be fairly young.
It just wouldnt work.
A movie with the show cast would work too.
But the ideas that are said to be in works sound completely stupid to me..and im a huge buffy fan.. so i hope they dont completely ruin the legacy.
SMG is the bitch who won’t do it, so don’t blame anyone else but her!! She thinks she is tooo good for it, well I have news for her without Buffy she would be no-one!! Besides she could use a fucking touch-up on her career, I mean where the hell is she now?!! NO WHERE!! Stop being a stuck-up cow Sarah and get on board you selfish BINT!!
Posted by Nikki on September 10th, 2009THERE REALLY IS NO POINT AT ALL WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL CAST, SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TELL THEM THAT AND I MEAN NO ONE WILL WATCH IT WITH OUT ALL OF THE ORIGINAL CAST!! NO POINT COZ IT WILL BE EXACTALY LIKE THE 1992 FILM WITH NO ONE WATCHING IT!!!!!! CANT BELIEVE THEY ARE WILLING TO DO THAT AGAIN?!
Posted by isla on September 11th, 2009The Season 8 comic should be made into the movie to begin a new franchise. There certainly ‘HAS’ to be a transitional period to introduce new characters within the old character frame-work. I’d love to see a new BUFFY spin, and it is IMPERATIVE that Whedon is ON BOARD to keep HIS vision alive!!! Now is the perfect time to be making this. Fans deserve and want to see more of the original cast and it can be transitioned to a new cast to spawn a completely new spin-off TV series. I for sure ould watch it and buy the DVD’s!!!
Posted by Shain on September 23rd, 2009I have been a BUFFY/ANGEL fan since day 1, & everyone who I have introduced to the series’ have maintained a following, even tho it is no longer being made as a tv series. A theatre movie would most definately be a B/O smash with the fan base alone going to see it!!
The original Buffy movie was a terrible flop and any kind of resurrection in that regard would be a ‘nail in the coffin’ of the Buffy franchise for sure!!!
No, to making a sequal to the original, and a big ‘HELL YEAH’ to continuing the series as a movie.
Original cast is eseential. And bring Spike back from LA. Without the same people, it wouldn’t be a Buffy film.
Posted by iluthradanar on September 24th, 2009No SMG, no Joss, no movie. It’s that simple.
Posted by Scott on September 28th, 2009Kuzai says “Personally I have a soft spot for the original movie and I never really got into the TV series so I’d be willing to give this a shot.”
Posted by cheryl on September 30th, 2009Thats funny, shes trashing the show, which was sooooo much better than the movie she butcherd.
Without Sarah Michelle Gellar this movie is going to totally suck. In my opinion they should either continue with the tv series or have the original cast from the tv show in the movie!!!
Posted by BuffyFanatic on October 1st, 2009WTF is wrong with people and trying to change a good thing? I agree with Scott “No SMG, no Joss, no movie”

Posted by buffyfanaticnumber1 on October 3rd, 2009Hmmmmmm. the movie was retarded. the tv series was awsome. i have a idea how about u go with what works or dont do it at all. let me guess u want to make a fucking dragonball movie. mediocore and without depth. i see.
Posted by lohak on October 6th, 2009completely loaded with fucktardness. its your dollar.
or…. you can get the origanal cast and have a christmas reunion. sweet. either way your perfect for a corman presents. peace.
The movie was campy, but adorable, and the show… /sigh I force my fiancee to watch it with me nearly every night. But the actors from the tv show are a little past their prime to play butt kicking slayers/witches/watchers/zeppos. Not to mention many of them are on to their own projects. SMJ has a baby on the way and a new show in the works, Alyson Hannigan has How I Met Your Mother… If people want to cash in on the vampire craze brought on from /shudders Twilight and Trueblood, they need to do it in way that won’t wig out us die hard fans.
Pick up where the series left off, with the council in shambles and a handful of freshly activated Slayers. Focus on remaking the council, and training the ever growing group of slayers, and finding new watchers to handle them. Pick 3 or so girls to focus the main entity of the show on, with cameos of the original tv cast. This way us die hards won’t run if fear like a freshly risen vamp running from Harmony.
Posted by Xairi on October 11th, 2009Ok so lets return to the real instigator.
anne rice.
Buffy is dead and gone. lets face it kuzi ku has boned us royally. if she made a new buffy with new actors it would only fall short. would the movie have the same spark the same passion or chemistry between characters? i wish. with out it the movie would be dead.
and ill say this about twilight the actors had chemistry. it was there, and very entertaining.
vittorio the vampire would be a good choice for another addition, in out obsession.
Posted by lohak on October 26th, 2009The thought of having a Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie is extremely unsettling. The movie is watchable because it reminds me of my childhood, but the show in all honesty was in a completely different league. The actors had amazing chemistry and a poetic and beautifully written script for every episode. To think that Whedon, SMG, Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brendon, and others involved won’t be taking part is madness. They made the show what it was and they were all the reasons why it lasted so long. Bringing in new people is probably the worst idea i’ve ever heard – the fandom thrives on the characters they know and love; how are they going to have that same relationship with new characters? It really makes no sense.
Posted by Miranda on November 1st, 2009The only way they will get most buffy lovers to stand for this buffy rerun or what ever is to have the origanal cast, like sarah machelle geller. and to have Whedon 100% behinde it….. i am suck a big lover of buffy and i would hate to see it go down hill if this goes rong, people are so into the seariose that it will enevitbly crush this upcoming move, like i said before,, its just not going to happen wit out Whedon or sarah machelle geller, and proberly about 99% of buffy the vampire slayer fans will agree with me, if they should bring anything out they should bring out the season 8 on DVD, other than that, they will spoil the origanal ending…..
