The creators of the 1992 Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie have apparently decided to relaunch the franchise with a new Buffy movie. Without the involvement of Joss Whedon or any of the cast from the TV series.
I have to assume they think they're going to pull in everybody who knows the name Buffy the Vampire Slayer as an abstract concept but don't know anything about the show, its creators, or actors. I suspect there are a lot of them. But certainly every indication is that the actual *fans* would be staying away in droves....
And also every reason to believe fans of the show--who are highly organized and lavish in their devotion to Whedon and the TV series--will take umbrage and do their best to make everyone aware that this new movie is a very bad thing.
