I’d prefer a movie sequel to Season 8, or merely, as John puts it, a new generation storyline. The Kuzui’s executive produced so many Buffy episodes, and they should really know better than to go through with this.

I don’t know. I mean, they want to completely reboot the franchise? Buffy already has an entire universe of it’s own with it’s own laws and characters, and a timeline. A new movie would completely uproot all that. It would be like completely rebooting the original Star Wars trilogy from the top. What the heck is the point?

if a movie is made without joss whedon and without the original buffy characters then who is going to see it? whats the point?! obviously some people will watch it but it will probz do worse then the original film. i cant predict the future but fans of the tv show will be the main audience for a buffy movie and if the film doesnt involve joss whedon and the characters from the tv show then those fans arent going to watch it. perhaps a few for curiosity but thats it. << in my opnion anyways!

I still consider it a ripoff. The story may have come first, but they had the last 18 years to make that book a TV show or Movie. The ONLY reason its coming now is because of Twilight.

Its ripping off Twilight’s popularity, not its idea.

Ok….as any die hard Buffy fan knows, the movie flopped because certain higher ups didn’t really care about it. They wanted a quickly produced movie that they could get out for summer and hopefully make some money off of. Joss Whedon even left the set many times because of how his vision was getting jacked. That being said, no the movie was not that great. It was only until the series when he got his creative control back that the storyline and characters shined.
Ever since Twilight came out I’ve been saying, “What about Buffy? That was way better in every way!” Not so much because I wanted it to be brought back, just because I was sick from all the attention Twilight was getting. All it is is a romance novel with vampires thrown in. And since I am such a die hard Buffy fan I can’t accept vampires that walk around during the day, who can choose to be good or not just because they choose it to be so, or any of the other ideas the author had about vampires.
Now all that being said, I would absolutely REFUSE to see a Buffy movie that did not involve Joss Whedon. Along with that I agree with some of the others who say it’s too early for any kind of reboot. This is just a dirty, underhanded way to try and make some money off of this stupid Twilight/vampire craze. Frankly, it makes me sick that someone would attempt to mess with such a great vision and show just to make a few bucks…just like was done with the original movie.

YES A NEW MOVIE WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA, BUT ONLY IF IT INVOLED WHEDON. IF THEY GAVE IT A LARGE BUGET AND REAL EFFORT I THINK YOU COULD POSSIBLY MAKE A MOVIE BASE ON THE SEASON 8 COMIC. MAKE THE MOVIE A COMPLETION OF SEASON 8. IT ALREADY HAD A GREAT STORY LINE THE END OF MAGIC. ANYTHING WOULD IMPROVE THE FIRTS MOVIE.

I don’t know about this. I’m not saying I would never see Buffy without Joss, but in many ways the Buffyverse encapsulates everything that Joss is about- without him I’m just not sure it will be Buffy at all- just another vamp movie.

Apparently he hasnt been asked yet. Maybe he wont be. Who knows.

Also, if it is about a group of slayers, now that there is no watcher’s council (The Slayer’s bosses) perhaps Buffy will be training them.

I never got into the appeal of Buffy, or Angel, for that matter. But if this WAS about a new group of Slayers, where is Buffy? Why call it Buffy The Vampire Slayer? Odd.

And, no, the first film wasn’t great at all.
As for the lack of Whedon, perhaps Whedon didn’t want to be involved, figuring he’s taken it as far as it can go. But the core fanbase of Buffy (and Angel) are from the TV series.
