Buffy Movie Remake

The movie poster for the original Buffy movie.

When I first heard about a Buffy movie remake, I didn't really know what to feel. On one hand, I'm so tired of remakes and sequels. To me, you can only make a movie series if it's based on a book, or has a clear way to continue without becoming boring. On the other hand, after finishing the real Buffy movie, all 7 seasons, all 5 seasons of Angel, and the Buffy comic books (out so far) I'm kind of ready for something else. And also, the original Buffy movie sucked, so you can only move forward from that.

But at the same time, Joss Whedon wouldn't be involved in the movie. At all. The main reason people (including myself) believe that the movie was the worst thing that came out of the Buffy phenomenon, was because Joss Whedon wrote it, but he wasn't involved in producing, casting, directing or even acting in it. For every thing after the movie, he was involved in many ways, including all of the ones above. So if your not even going to have Joss Whedon write it, your not going to have him directing, your not even going to have him anywhere near it, then how could it be any better than the original? Also, the chances of getting all of the actors back are very slim. And if you don't get the actors from the T.V. series (God forbid they get them from the original movie) then how could it be any amount of success? When Joss Whedon later said that what they where doing was a sad reflection of current trends the movie industry seems to be fallowing, I had to agree. Unless they pull off all of it, getting the actors, getting Joss, and probably getting other people who where very involved in the series, then they could probably make it pretty successful. But that's probably not going to happen, so why even try?
