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.

Um. In the department of 'bad ideas I have heard today', that rates really quite highly.

What are they thinking?

It's a guess that they are sick and tired of hearing about how they ruined Whedon's original premise, and are going to prove they can Do It Without Him.

Ego is a wonderful thing.

I saw that. I think they're basically figuring that, with Whedon's massive failure to attract a popular audience, really they ought to give the range to a tyro who connects with both genre and youth audiences. That's the rumor I heard from the board's meeting, anyway.
