New Buffy Movie
I don't know if I should be happy about this or pised off, I haven't made up my mind yet. I found this article about plans for a new Buffy movie. Here is a link for the article.
http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=13610
Vertigo Entertainment is working on a "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" reboot with the original movie director Fran Rubel Kuzui and her husband Kaz Kazui.
"Buffy" creator Joss Whedon isn't involved and it's currently not set up at any studio. Even though Whedon is associated with all things "Buffy," Kuzui Enterprises holds the rights to the franchise.
The new "Buffy" film will not have any connection to the TV series, nor would it use popular supporting characters like Angel, Willow, Xander or Spike. Vertigo and Kuzui are looking to restart the story line without trampling on the beloved existing universe created by Whedon.
The goal would be to make a darker, event-sized movie that would, of course, have franchise potential that includes sequels, video games and foreign market remakes.
The parties are meeting with writers and hearing takes, and later will look for a home for the project. The producers do not rule out Whedon's involvement but have not yet reached out to him.

Joss isn`t involved?!, no way I`m gonna watch that.. They should make a REAL Buffy movie, not some sucky remaking.

Hey folks, Harry here and man do I have the scratchiest head scratcher that I've seen in a long time. I think just about all of us would be interested in a real theatrical launch of a feature version of the BUFFY character as was lovingly developed and handled by Joss Whedon.
But that's not what they're gonna do.
This new film is being developed with the original directing and producing team of the BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER feature - which made all the impact of a shaving cream pie. It's being developed at Vertigo Entertainment, According to Borys Kit at The Hollywood Reporter which is run by the usually very astute Roy Lee and Doug Davison.
Now - apparently they're not ruling out Whedon coming aboard, but apparently they're taking meetings with a number of writers and Whedon would have to audition like everyone else. It seems Roy Lee is the one that has taken control here. And like I said, he's usually someone that I would trust - it just feels weird to announce before approaching Whedon first. Sort of like when McG and crew announced SPACED before talking with the real SPACED team.
I don't know if I would want to start slapping them every which way regarding continuity, etc... but without Whedon I know they'll instantly be met with a wall of fan hostility, that I doubt any other direction will calm.

They'll only receive hostility from me if they try to have the same characters played by different people now when the other actors are around and able...If it's some kind of other time with a different slayer and storyline? Meh. Still, I'm upset that they won't pick up the show and take it from there...but I won't be one of those fans who will totally bash it before seeing it. Besides, I'm one of the few who actually immensely enjoyed the movie.

I'm one of the few who actually immensely enjoyed the movie.
I too enjoyed the movie, I was actually disappointed when I heard there would be a tv series without any of the original actors in it, I had seen SMG on All My Children and wasn't all that impressed with her, but I decided to give the show a chance, and was so glad I did. I was disappointed that the vamps couldn't fly in the show, I wish they had kept that aspect. I watched the movie not long ago and couldn't help but compare Kirsty with SMG, she looked so ungainly, while SMG made her Buffy so graceful. One thing that did strike me was the simularities between Spike and Pike, Buffy hated him at the start, her friends didn't like him, and if you watch the dance scene, he even has the same haircut as Spike.

I don't think a movie will ever happen. If it did, it'll probably center on the Core Four, in their 30s, -minus Giles- but James and David look way older to play the non-aging vampires. I don't know.
It wouldn't be a sequel, it would have an all new cast and characters aside from Buffy.

I have to watch the original film again - I did not much care for it - but I saw it only after I started watching the series. It was such a different vision and presentation that it was difficult to appreciate the film. I think that I could be more open and sympathetic of the film now. I now that I did not think it was particularly well done - it seemed to be either not over the top enough for a great camp cult film or just not satisfying as comedy.
I don't mind the idea of a new Buffy film if it was a big separation from any of the Sunnydale series - unless it was a big change, the fans would be making comparisons big time. There are a great many wonderful young actors that could take on a new and different Buffyverse. The problem is that it would have to be done by a very good creative staff and with high production values - nothing would be worse, IMO, than a Buffy done with less than high creative standards and money sufficient to the project. It would also big a pity if the producers are doing this new Buffy simply to ride the crest of the popularity of Twighlight and True Blood.
I have been thinking much on why Whedon's Buffyverse was so compelling and connected with the viewers on such a high level - There is not any other tv series that has ever made such an impression on me or has even remotely become a part of my life. I still think about the series so much and it opened so many other extremely interesting and important fields for study.

Oh, no doubt they're feeling this out because of Twilight!!
I've seen calls for Fray, if they're going to do any Slayer.

I heard it was because of how well Star Trek did, but I still don't see the point.

Not just Twilight (hurl) and True Blood--they're doing an Anita Blake series on some cable network too. Vampires are back in, which makes me wonder why there isn't talks of an Angel movie, since it would then be about a vampire...but whatever.
I knew a Buffy movie would be coming. Hollywood execs would piss themselves if they had to bear making something original, as opposed to pulling out the stops to every remake and adaptation possible.

Very NEAT news about a Anita Blake I love the early novels, before the series turned into soft porn - I tell you if they did good casting and a GREAT Jean Claude and all those sexy vamps - I think they would have a good series and good audience. The early novels have some excellent characters and good stories -

Anita Blake? Where did you hear this, and what network will it be on? I hope they do better with her than Sci-Fi did with Harry Dresden, not that I didn't like the show, but they changed way too much stuff. I have also heard that ABC got the rights to Kimberly Raye's Dead End Dating series. And just now I saw an ad for a new fall CW series The Vampire Diaries.
As for the Buffy movie, if they Stay true to the 1992 movie, Buffy will be called at 17, if it follows the series, Buffy will be 15. If they go with 15, they should cast Jodelle Farland, she should be old enough by the time they get ready to film, and she is a GREAT little horror actress (Mary in Stephen King's The Kingdom, Sharon/Allyssa on Silent Hill} And she will be 15 by the time they start filming. I have no idea who would play an older Buffy, any Ideas?

I can't even fathom that since SMG is alive and well. I was thinking this whole time they'd be doing some kind of AU/other slayer in another place thing--not Buffy the character. That's insane. They're essentially ripping apart eight years worth of story--both BtVS and Ats. That is outrageous and a steaming pile of...rubbish.
I can't remember where I heard about the Anita Blake thing, but it was something I was reading in relation to True Blood. It'll be on Showtime or HBO...or if it stays true to the later novels, Cinemax.

I just saw a commercial for The Vampire Diaries, but I've known about the show for a while now. I used to love those books, and I think a TV series will just ruin it. I can already tell they're not staying true to the characters. It's probably because of Twilight that they decided to turn that series into a TV show, but it doesn't always work.
They really ought to try and negotiate to do a Fray film and just forget about a Buffyverse project - What channel are The Vampire Diaries going to be on?

Let's try typing this again, apparently it didn't post and I lost what I said...GRRR.
I so can answer the questions about the new show coming up on the CW network. I'm a CWaholic! I watch primarily only Channel 11 and HBO and movie channels so here it is. I'm actually PISSED about the new series they are pitching for the CW. Reason? The Cast. Check out who is playing who on the futoncritic.com. It's beyond insulting to the books. Now LJane Smith knows about this and I'm sure she gave the go ahead, but I can't for the life of me comprehend how she could possibly let them go ahead with a leading actress with brown hair as Elena!!!!!! What are they thinking???? Elena first off has blonde hair and blue eyes. 2nd her best friend is Meredith. She isn't even on it. Third ok the guys are ok as what they casted but the girls what they heck happened to getting a pixied curly red head with big brown eyes as Bonnie. I'm dissappointed. They didn't screw up with Twilight or Harry Potter...Why do they have to with this series? This series when I was younger got me obsessed with all things vamps. So I will watch it but I'm not crossing my fingers with this series.
As for the new Buffy movie...They should really drop the Buffy and do a whole new cast and whole new plot. Take the move a step further than they did the first time. If they go the Buffy route, they are seriously looking at ruining everything that came after their first failure that turned into success. What I mean by that is the movie though, I thought it was good, was in fact a failure. It did poorly. Do something fresh and new. Ever wonder why they have never done a vamp movie or series where they find mates or their soul mates. Something along those lines as what Christine Feehan or even Maggie Shayne or even LJane Smith did with her series Night World. NOW that I would see. Night World Series was awesome! So I'm a sucker for the romance and finding true love...who isn't lol?
But yeah Vampire Diaries is starring on the CW network but its a pilot nothing actually set in stone as of yet. They want to see if it can turn into something. Yes it's on Thursdays at 8pm but honestly loose the cast except for the guys and re-cast most of the chicks especially Elena and for crying out loud get Meredith on the show!!!! Get Bonnie right...Then make the show it's own. Changing the cast to appear different is a turn off for me. Ok back to work done rambling!

Plot Spoiler Alert!!!
The story begins in deep space, when a disgruntled miner travels back in time to exact vengeance on Buffy for blowing up his home world of "Vampulos." In the process, he accidentally reunites Buffy's parents, altering the timeline so that Buffy grows up to be a happy, well-adjusted young woman. No twisted abandonment issues, no irrational fear of intimacy . . . the horror . . . the horror . . .
In a desperate bid to restore Buffy to her miserable, repressed, asskicking self, Angel, Riley and Spike leap through the space-time rift to drown her in a tidal wave of mixed signals, passive aggression and filthy, kinky, perverted, degrading sex.

Lostboy--that cracked me the hell up. For reals :P
They start it over though? Angel's still in a gutter somewhere, Spike's still with Dru, or depressed and crying in a hole somewhere because of her demise, cause he was never able to get her well without a sire, Darla's still alive, kicking it with The Master, and they rule Sunnydale, Gunn is becomes an even bigger leader in LA, or maybe he gets killed by those vamps, cause Angel wasn't around to give his protection...and Fred is still in the hell dimension, or dead in the hell dimension, Wes is still in LA with daddy issues, Dawn never exists, Faith's never activated, the Scoobies are all dead...
Yeah, they just need to do a whole other story, and not try to reboot anything. Ever. The end.
Still waiting on that Angel movie though. Yep.

Who watched "True Blood?" - Since it is starting up again, and if there is not a thread, would it be useful to start one?
What about "Blood Ties" - I watched it and bought it on iTunes - think that the series, if they had given it some time to develop had the potential to be a good vampire series. Who watched "Blood Ties" and what did you think of the series?

Yes, I watched True Blood and can't wait for the new season. I loved Blood Ties as well, I thought it was great and should have deserved another season. Same with Moonlight, I hate when my vampire shows get canned.
When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you, and I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the one, Buffy.
yes, so with you in this! I hate it too. I liked all of the mentioned shows, although I like the Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris better than true blood.
I absolutely loved Moonlight, I think I saw it that often that I can quote almost whole episodes. It aired here in Germany too, but the German Voices are absolutely unbearable, so I had to turn it of after ten minutes an startet to watch the Original instead.
I like both Blood Ties and the books by Tanya Huff, but i suppose I would watch everything with Cristina Cox in it. FX, anybody?
Here in Germany we had a lot of discussion about Moonlight, because many people said is was a bad Angel copy, wich I so don't agree. Same Problem in the US with this?

NO NO NO NO NO NO!
DIDN'T JOSS SAY THAT THE MOVIE COMPLETELY SUCKED BECAUSE THE DIRECTOR DIDN'T GET IT?
EVEN HE HATES THE MOVIE!
Nothing good will come of this. Nothing.
I was watching a clip from the Beowulf movie, and it came to me that Joss could make his own Buffy movie using the original actors any time he wanted to (as long as they were all alive) using the same f/x they did to make an aging balding actor into a young buff Beowulf.
I wish Joss would just throw out the comics, and start a new movie beginning with the fight with WR&H, bringing Buffy and the rest of the slayers in to help fight.

To be honest, I rather have a 22 pages of new BtVS canon every month than a two hours movie that won't satisfy any of the fans.
Now if they make a new TV season, that would be a blast. But a movie? Pass.

Not saying I care much for a movie, but I agree about him scrapping the comics. If I had to watch that on TV, I would have been so pissed. The comics just ruined the characters for me, in my opinion, Buffy ended after the 7th season.

I was watching a clip from the Beowulf movie, and it came to me that Joss could make his own Buffy movie using the original actors any time he wanted to - Great minds think alike Lis F. I was thinking exactly the same thing and I really loved that version of Beowulf. This would be a totally cool way to do Buffy and keep the costs down at the same time. I think the real problem in all this mess was that Joss sold the rights piecemeal to everybody in Hollywood and now has no control over his work. This is really sad. You'd think the pack of them could get together, hire Joss and put together something for us obsessive fans.
If we want her to be exactly she'll never be exactly I know the only really real Buffy is really Buffy and she's gone' who?

I agree totally, I hate the comics, except for the part that Buffy wasn't really in Rome. I want her pining after Spike, darnit!

I just wirh the Kuzui's would just get Joss and the original cast and make the movie we have been wanting.

Yep, completely agree, I didn't mind the part about her not being in Rome with the Immortal, but the comics don't give me my Spuffy, so I'll just stick to fan fiction.

Didn't like the comics--stopped reading them completely because it was like bad fan fic.
I rather liked the idea with Buffy in Rome with the Immortal. Perhaps I am the only one, but at the time I saw that ep (which is my favorite episode ever), I thought it meant she learned something...wrong.
I'll actually give the movie a shot before writing "Fail" all over it...but I still think they should have it take place in a post Buffy world.

Oh yes, I, too, would love a movie that picks up with the fight in the alley at the end of the Angel series. Joss said he had season 6 of AtS planned out and didn't change the end of season 5 when he learned it would be cancelled, so I'm dying of curiosity as to how Spike and Angel were supposed to get out of that alley. As far as I know, Joss has kept his plot a secret. Does anyone know what he had planned?
I'd much rather have a movie that follows up on the TV series (and leaves out the comics) than a new remake of the story we already know.
It's not totally a secret, since the Angel: After the Fall comics were based on Joss' ideas. I'm sure Brian Lynch took liberties with the plot and put his own spin on things, but I think it's pretty likely that an Angel season 6 would've been set in Hell-A, Angel would've been human (if only temporarily), Spike and Illyria would still be around, and Gunn would've been a vampire. They may have also intended to bring Wesley back as a ghost, but probably most of the secondary characters (Gwen, Nina, and the OCs) were Lynch additions.
Writing should feel easy, like a monkey driving a speed boat.

Digital Spy says:
Joss Whedon has revealed that he turned down an approach to participate in the Buffy The Vampire Slayer remake.
Fran Rubel Kuzui, who holds the rights to the franchise, announced last month that she is reviving the property, indicating that producers are open to Whedon's involvement.
However, Whedon told Entertainment Weekly that he will not contribute to the Vertigo Entertainment project, saying: "I believe [the producers] did ultimately reach out to my agent after the news broke. I think that's something better left untouched by me. So, I wish them luck."

What he really means is that he doesn't want anything to do with another Buffy movie bomb.

All I know is there's no way in hell I'd see a movie that fit in with the comics. AS it is I swear the LJ ads are trying to kill my fandom love with the ads about season 8. It's like seeing badfic ads that you can scrub out of your brain. I keep forgetting to contact teh ptb at lj and ask them how to keep the BUffy ads from showing up with so much Buffy stuff on my friends list without buying a paid account.
I'll go see it and then be pissed off later.
And I shall be pissy vicariously through your post-watching rant, okay? :D
EDIT: There's supposed to be a smiley there, but it keeps getting eaten.

You know, I just read in an LJ entry that it would be totally great if they did a Nikki Wood movie (and hey--Spike still gets to be in it!).
I'm inclined to heavily, heavily agree.
Can there be a petition of some kind?

I personally would not like to see Slayer Killer Spike - if they did a Nikki Wood film and they used the series as reference that would be the Spike that would be on film - and that is just not where my Spike appreciation is now -

Well yeah, but Spike wouldn't be Spike without that history. I mean, he was okay with that past...
Besides, it'd be like an extended flashback, and not the character somehow going in reverse from where he is ;)

You are right - as a flashback it would work for me and his history - it's all part of the Great Spike Package
If we had a new Spike actor - anyone you might like in the part? or do you think a wonderful new little known actor would be better?
