Buffy the Vampire Slayer Movie Reboot

The director of the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie held onto the rights to it after dropping that bomb on the world and is now considering going ahead with a movie franchise reboot, jettisoning Gellar, the entire supporting cast of the cult favorite Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series, and creator, Joss Whedon!

Fran Kuzui (and here husband) announced plans to move forward with a new generational reboot, sans anything that's gone down in the Buffyverse, Whedonverse, or Comicdom; they say every generation has a Slayer and they wish to bring the current generation's to the screen. However, Kuzui has not ruled-out collaborating with the Buffy mastermind.

Joss Whedon has not responded, but Sarah Michelle Gellar did: she said the idea was doomed. The rumor mill has it that Gellar is pushing for the title role in a silver screen adaptation of the cult TV show, but that has not been cofirmed.
