New Buffy the Vampire Slayer without Joss Whedon?
May 26th, 2009
According to the Hollywood Reporter, a new feature film based on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise could make its way to theaters. Buffy creator Joss Whedon hasn’t been approached and the movie won’t be a big screen version of the television series that ran from 1997 to 2003:
The new “Buffy” film, however, would have no connection to the TV series, nor would it use popular supporting characters like Angel, Willow, Xander or Spike. Vertigo and Kuzui are looking to restart the story line without trampling on the beloved existing universe created by Whedon, putting the parties in a similar situation faced by Paramount, J.J. Abrams and his crew when relaunching “Star Trek.”
How can a Buffy movie be produced without Whedon, you ask?
