The worst idea since having Greedo shoot first?

"Rebooting" Buffy?

With no Joss?

And no Sarah?

And supposedly there's a huge fan base just waiting to see it get rebooted?

Uh-huh.

I'll believe that when I see it.



I am trying not to think about this too much lest I get really, really, really angry.

Check out what the screenwriter, Whit Anderson, has to say about Buffy:

“The thing that was so wonderful about ‘Buffy’ is what made it special was so timeless,” Anderson said. “The deep struggle she had with duty and destiny, that tug between what you’re supposed to be doing and what you want to be doing. The fate of the world is on her shoulders, but some days she wakes up, and she just doesn’t want to do it. And are we doomed and destined to love someone? That conflict was very interesting to me. Those are the things I loved about her and her world. She also represents — like all the heroes — something empowering for us. She reminds us of what we could be if we were in our top form, the best of us if we were at our very best, and even then we still see the vulnerability and doubts she has inside. That’s where we all connect.”

The way she talks about Buffy--it feels like Buffy to me.

Phew. This makes me feel a lot better. Still wary, but slightly hopeful. Thanks for sharing that!

My pleasure. :)

I think it's good to be wary. There's so many ways this could suck (studio interference, bad director). And hey, the writer might not even be any good. But I like her vision for the character and the story she talks about in broad terms.

That does indeed sound like Buffy. Where are you getting this from? I'd love to read more about this writer!

That...gives me hope. Like...a lot.

Yeah. I don't know why, but I like instantly like her. When she talks about Buffy, it feels like she gets it. And who knows if that'll translate to writing but I'm hoping for the best.

Heh. I feel like I could've been her.

You should call her and ask if she needs a co-writer!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, my crazy dream for life isn't a Buffy movie written by Joss. It's a Buffy movie written by you.
