If anyone is a Buffy fan they probably heard the news that a remake of the movie was happening with the original directors.
Well, apparently they tried to ask Joss Whedon for his help in response to criticism by fans that they would remake it without him. And he pretty much said no.
Remakes have never interested me, unless I don't like the original. I'm not a Buffy fan either, but from what i've heard the original movie didn't do so well. So they remake the movie with the original movie's directors, but leave out Whedon?!
And then under public pressure decide to ask him, and he says no. They should never have moved forward with this movie if they were going to consider asking Whedon in the first place. And seriously, if the movie bombed why stick with the directors?
If this movie happens, I guarantee it'll do worse than any movie in history. This kind of movie is for fans, and if alot of the fans refuse to honor this remake, why do it?

I don't know if people know this but Buffy is pretty much my favorite TV show of all time and I just love it. So this news sucks but i'm not as pissed as you'd think. I kind of don't care, really. Buffy existed before Joss and will probably exist after him too. As long as I have my 8 incredible seasons on my dvd shelf I'll be a happy person.
