Worst idea ever of the year

[MrCoffee]

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the rights holders of Buffy the Vampire Slayer -- which began as the 1992 crapmound film starring Kristy Swanson and was later transformed by writer Joss Whedon into one of the touchstone TV series of the last 25 years -- are planning a remake/relaunch. Now, fans of the Buffyverse have been clamoring for a feature extension ever since the show's end in 2003; and they've made the Whedon-overseen comic books best sellers. Whedon has long been the hand on the wheel of the Buffy franchise, and his cultish fanbase are legion.

That raucous sound you hear is that fanbase currently consulting an engineer to figure out exactly how to support all of the hell they're gonna raise. Because -- get this -- Whedon isn't involved. AT ALL.

1. Worst idea of 1992, 2003, 2009

FTFY

2. Sounds like someone decided that if JJ Abrams could do it for Star Trek

They could do it for Buffy. Does no one value creativity anymore?
Someone's looking for what they think is an easy buck...

3. It's the Kuzui shitbags

They got executive producer credits on Buffy and Angel because they own the rights, and never did anything for either show except collect royalty checks.

Since they still own the rights, they can do whatever they want with the concept, including ruin it.

4. Coming next fall...

the Whedon-less Firefly.

I'll be in my bunk. Shooting my brains out.
