Apparently, the movie has been optioned from all the property-holders, of whom Whedon is not one. Warner Brothers accepted a script written by a Buffy fan, but the Buffy character is no highschool girl, and the movie apparently has little to do with either the original film or the TV series. Similarly, none of the castmembers from either incarnation have been announced in conjunction with the project.
Whedon's camp has made no statement on the matter.

Warner Brothers "confirmed" the project is moving ahead without Whedon's involvement. Which is, flatly, just stupid... so, also obvious.
I don't know about the licensing and rights issues, but this makes me wonder about Dark Horse's series. While "Season 8" is winding-down, I understood "Season 9" was right around the corner.
Will there be any further Whedon-based Buffy the Vampire Slayer series?
I forgot covering this last year.
