|  | Vertigo Entertainment in Talks for Buffy Movie « Thread Started on May 30, 2009, 2:04pm » | |
Many of you will have probably seen the news circulating the internet of a possible new Buffy movie in the works. Vertigo Entertainment and Fran Rubel Kuzui, who directed and financed the original Buffy movie and had executive producer status on the TV series, are in talks to bring back the franchise to the big screen in what is being labelled a 'relauch' similar to the recent Bond, Batman and Star Trek films.
However, there are no current plans to involve Joss Whedon and the film would not be able to include the characters created for the TV series (i.e. Xander, Willow et al) as Fox and not Kuzui hold the rights to those.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly's Ausiello Joss Whedon had this to say about the movie:
"I hope it's cool"
Make of that what you will.
Needless to say, should the new movie go ahead without Joss being involved, it won't be included in Whedon's World.
