Stake Me Now: Warner Bros. Rebooting Buffy The Vampire Slayer

[Lord Beautiful]

Perhaps it could be something that the series wasn't: good.

Of course, that probably won't happen. Also, the not-serious nature is essentially what makes Buffy Buffy, and I doubt Buffy fans are in for something that barely resembles the series or the movie. Just give it another name and we'll call it a day.

GOD DAMN IT TO HELL. Can they not leave well enough alone? They really need to stop buggerising around with old franchises. It's been less then a decade since Buffy (and Angel) finished and they are already talking about a reboot...

I swear one day they'll go to milk a franchise and the udder will fall off.

 

[Buchichu]

wow, they're really playing with fire...Buffy has a pretty hardcore fanbase. Of course, so does Star Trek and that reboot not only made the Trekkies happy but also sucked a lot of newbies into the genre. So I guess you never know.

 

[JaredXE]

But, I LIKED the original Buffy. It was funny.

 

[WorldCritic]

As long as it doesn't get the Twilight treatment I don't have anything bad to say ... yet.

 

[Spygon]

This is not gunna end well i get trying to make buffy abit more realistic and not having sarah play buffy but without any involvement from a certain Joss Whedon.Who made and shaped the whole buffy/angel verse this is going to be terrible.

The only hope i have is it might be a sign of returning the pre twilight vampires who would burn in sunlight and more likely to rip the throat out of mortals than try to date them

Scene 1: Buffy Stakes Edward

The End

 

[Distorted Stu]

NO! It will ruin it.

BUT, we do need a vampire film.. yano, about blood sucking killing vampires and a slayer. Shame Blade is in jail.

 

[thublihnk]

Buffy dialogue is never going to not sound cheesy, I can't believe the whole internet is losing their sh*t over this when two clearly talented producers are behind it.

A Buffy reboot. File that in the "Bad Ideas" drawer.

A Buffy reboot without Joss Whedon. File that in the "Ideas So Bad They Don't Even Belong In The 'Bad Ideas' Drawer" drawer.

Buffy the series was amazingly fun. I do not approve of anything taking it's name unless it's got the same creative crew and minor cameos from the cast.

Oooohohoh can we get eye-patch Xander to be the grizzled military leader of a unit of slayers!?

 

[Sylocat]

That tears it. I'm writing an AU fan comic. It's a hard sci-fi reimagining of the Slayer mythos, with the Peter Watts vampires [http://www.rifters.com/blindsight/vampires.htm], and the Slayer as a half-caste who gets the powers but still has the conscience.

It'll make about as much sense as this.

 

[Gothtasical]

as long as it sticks with the orginal it should be pretty good let's hope the keep some of whedon things with it tho

 

[Oz Draconis]

I concur, this is just a really, REALLY bad idea.

On a side note..ahem...Bunnies aren't as cute as everyone supposes! They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses, and what's with all the carrots? Why do they need such good eyesight for anyway?! Bunnies, Bunnies, it must be BUNNIES!!...or maybe midgets...

With this evidence I conclude that a coalition of bunnies, midgets, and midget bunnies are responsible for this horrible reboot of terror.

 

[zidine100]

GAH, i mean come on angels side its pretty much over and if they do make a new series the Apocalypse is already here, there is no way in hell she would be able to even stand against what was released in the last angel series. i mean come on.... they flooded the earth with monsters for crying out loud, if there just going to casually ignore that one well...

unless im missing something.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

Could we possibly reboot the brain of whatever Hollywood marketing putz thinks that all these reboots are a good idea?
