Buffy creator Joss Whedon says that the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie will not involve him in any way. Whedon says that the producers of the new film contacted his agents recently but that Whedon decided that it would be best if he had no part in the process.
I call this gracefully stepping away with dignity as i think this new film will be an explosion filled wire work bonanza, and not in the good way. Whedon obviously has a nose for what is about to happen to his creation and doesn't want to be locked into a potential major turkey.
Who will play Buffy? People are talking about Megan Fox, which will be the poorest move they could make. The girl may look awesome but she has no on screen charisma and i doubt they'll bother with the scooby gang, the very reason the show got past season one.
By not aiming straight for Whedon the producers are alienating his massive army of fans and those are exactly the people they will want to fill cinema seats. I predict a moderate box office and this film to be left for dead.
Until they plan another remake.
