Is it just me or are reboots getting closer and closer to the original? Not only do we have a Spiderman reboot only a decade after the definitive movie version first hit our screens, but now one of the most iconic TV characters of the 90′s is being revived. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the 7-season series starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, is set be remade for the big screen. Again.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Kuzui Enterprises, owners of Buffy, are developing a film of Buffy to be written by relative unknown Whit Anderson (at least it’s a she) for Warner Bros. Kuzui made the 1992 film flop of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which was not liked by creator Joss Whedon. But Whedon worked with Kuzui to resurrect the character into a TV show which followed the teen as she battled vampires and demonds through high-school and into university. The show was known for its razor-sharp wit, self-awareness, and sense of irony, appealing to both sarcastic teens and adults alike.

However, Whedon (who seems to be cursed, what with his Firefly and Dollhouse shows being cancelled too soon, not to mention the financial flop that was his film Serenity, the disaster of the binned Wonder Woman film, and now the endless delay of horror film The Cabin in the Woods) has not been asked to be involved. He wrote a letter to E Online expressing his dissatisfaction:

With reboots being the major event of this decade (as Hollywood studios get increasingly fearful of the scary notion of originality), how soon before we see a reboot of Jason Bourne, of the Twilight franchise, or even Lord of the Rings? Let’s hope this Buffy remains in the ground.
