I now understand the word “blasphemy.” The director of the 1992 “Buffy” movie wants to do a reboot and turn “Buffy” into a movie franchsie. Whedon is not on board and a reboot would completely ignore the TV show and comics.

According to Reuters, the goal would be to “make a darker, event-sized movie” with “franchise potential.” The story would follow a new vampire slayer who must step up to protect the new generation. Kuzui says the the new movie will hopefully take “Buffy into a new place.” The parties won’t rule out Whedon’s involvement, but are currently meeting with writers and hearing pitches.
