A new incarnation of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" could be coming to the big screen, courtesy of the director of the original movie.
"Buffy" creator Joss Whedon isn't involved and it's not set up at a studio, but director Fran Rubel Kuzui is working on a relaunch with Vertigo Entertainment, which specializes in English-language remakes of Asian films, such as "The Grudge" and "The Departed."
While Whedon is the person most associated with the "Buffy" franchise, Kuzui and her Kuzui Enterprises have held onto the rights since the beginning, when she discovered the "Buffy" script from then-unknown Whedon. She developed the script while her husband Kaz put together the financing to make the 1992 movie, which was released by Fox.
Kuzui later helped bring back Whedon to make the TV series, which began its successful run on the WB in 1997. She received executive producer credits on "Buffy" and its spinoff, "Angel."
The new "Buffy" film, however, would have no connection to the TV series, nor would it use popular supporting characters like Angel, Willow, Xander or Spike. Kuzui and Vertigo are looking to restart the story line without trampling on the beloved existing universe created by Whedon.
One of the underlying ideas of "Buffy" allows the filmmakers to do just that: that each generation has its own vampire slayer to protect it. The goal would be to make a darker, event-sized movie that would, of course, have franchise potential.
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. Speaking from Tokyo, Fran Kuzui said she is constantly approached not only about sequels but theater, video games and foreign remakes for "Buffy." When Vertigo's Roy Lee contacted them, they were intrigued.
"It was Roy's interest in taking Buffy into a new place that grabbed us," she said. "It was based on our respect for what he does, and his particular sensitivity to Asian filmmakers, that we wanted to work with him."
Kuzui, who is preparing to direct a movie in Japan in the fall, added: "Everything has its moment. Every movie takes on a life at some point, and this seems like the moment to do this."
Star Trek having a reboot I can understand but Buffy does not need a reboot! :ohwell:

I don't see why not. It was rebooted for the TV series, why not do it again.
Well, the movie sucked... and the TV series did make reference to events that happened in the movie, so I wouldn't quite call it a reboot. But yeah, I'm not so sure I want to see a new Buffy movie either.
A movie about a different Slayer, however, might be cool.

I actually kind of liked the movie. (Don't get me wrong, I much prefer the show.) It had some sort of camp appeal to me, I dunna. Maybe it's one of those "so bad it's good" movies for me. It always made me laugh.

Don't get too worked up about this. It sounds like this is definitely just politics... TPTB are trying to lowball Whedon and they're playing hardball for cash (which isn't too favorable in Whedon's corner, with one failed TV show after another lately).
A betting man would bet on Whedon, and as soon as he's aboard he's bringing Gellar and everybody for a proper Buffy movie.
She wasn't even a teeny bopper, so that's retarded. And it's like not Buffy has been around lately, so I don't see how you can tire of something that isn't there.

well, if it's going to have nothing to do with the original movie and/or the series, then screw it! if they want to make another movie, make a damn sequel! a sequel to the original movie and the series, and include everyone. this just sounds like a bad idea to me. and if Whedon chooses not to participate, all the more reason for it not to be done

Well a more serious Buffy would work on the big screen.

I don't get why it's so dumb.
Anyway, there have been Slayers of all different shapes, sizes, ethnicities, whatever (see Kendra, the two Slayers Spike killed, and the Slayers who popped up all over the world after Willow did her white witch mojo on the Fray battle axe), so it wouldn't be unheard of.
And hey, Brodie, I thought SMG was kinda cute at the beginning of Buffy! Not so much when the show moved to UPN and she stopped eating altogether, but yeah.

For what foreseeable reason would a change of ethnicity for the main character of a series be even remotely sensible? What purpose would it serve? Is making her black going to add some new layer of depth to the character? Doubtful. Unless you consider the "hilarious" ethnic stereotypes that are sure to make an appearance in such a case character depth. That's why it's dumb. It's an arbitrary difference made for the sake of what? To appeal to a different demographic? To give it a nice coat of "ethnic diversity is awesome!" paint?
I've got one for you, give me one reason why it isn't a dumb idea and I'll change my tune.

" nice coat of "ethnic diversity is awesome!" paint"
I see what you mean.
I've got one for you, give me one reason why it isn't a dumb idea and I'll change my tune.
Somehow I doubt that, given the volatile nature of your reaction, but here goes! :lol:
For what foreseeable reason would a change of ethnicity for the main character of a series be even remotely sensible?
Simply put, they're changing almost everything else -- they're getting rid of the supporting characters, etc. -- so I don't see why it would be dumb to change one more thing. Without all of the background and depth that she developed with her friends and during various battles, Buffy isn't really a character but a premise: teenage girl who fights vampires. From that starting point, her ethnicity doesn't really make a whit of difference one way or another.
What purpose would it serve?
Maybe none! But not serving a grand purpose doesn't make it dumb -- for that, it'd have to serve a dumb purpose and/or bring about a dumb result. It wouldn't necessarily do either of those things (though, as with anything else, there's always the possibility that they'd screw it up).
Is making her black going to add some new layer of depth to the character? Doubtful. ... It's an arbitrary difference made for the sake of what? To appeal to a different demographic? To give it a nice coat of "ethnic diversity is awesome!" paint?
They'd have to change quite a bit more than Buffy's skin color to give depth to the character -- like I said, the character didn't really have a ton of depth to begin with (which is kinda why the movie and the 1st season of Buffy weren't all that great) -- but yeah, a change like that could help to give this new Buffy some depth. And it could help to broaden the target audience and diversify the cast. I don't regard those as bad or dumb outcomes.
But in any case, I was just saying that it wouldn't be dumb to turn "teenage white girl who fights vampires" into "teenage minority girl who fights vampires," since they're apparently changing everything else and there's nothing about the character/premise that requires her skin to be a specific color. If that's the dumbest thing you'd heard all day, I'd love to live in your world. :P

Quite a few recognizable actors were in the movie. Luke Perry during his peak years, Donald Sutherland (funny how his son, 24 star Keifer Sutherland, played in his own vampire movie called The Lost Boys) David Arquette, who would later become a fan favorite in the Scream series, and Oscar winner Hilary Swank had roles in the movie as well.

How's the story? I was never a huge He-Man fan so I couldn't care less really, but the same could be said of TMNT. The old toon is inferior in terms of art and even story, but still has a charm all it's own that still makes it a great series to this day, inferior technically to the remake or not.

Really....wow....so no pupils automatically = inferior to the original series? Have you watched the old toon lately? There were several animation mistakes per episode. I can only remember a few in the whole run of the TMNT reboot. As for the turtles being more serious and lacking emotion, when did the Turtles ever exhibit any emotions in the old toon? it was all played for laughs, which I love, but if you were going to look at either series for character development and emotion, I'd point to the 2k3 series.

I wasn't even upset about anything, so you're overreacting. I was just correcting your assumption of people not wanting remakes. Which again, they do, and the money proves it.

You need correcting again. They do have eyeballs, or else they couldn't see. They just lack pupils. In fact, they have pupils when they take off their masks.

And who are you to say that being 'serious' is NOT an emotion?
And what kind of mind-crap are you trying to pull by saying that the New Toon is lacking in emotion compared to the Old Toon?
Same As It Never Was episode was by far the most tragic episode in the entire series. Insane in the Membrane was definitely the most disturbing, unless we ever get to see Nightmares Recycled. And who the hell can forget the beheading of Shredder in Return to New York part 3? And the fact that he got up, picked up his own head, and walked away, THROUGH FIRE? And this was all before we know the obvious (but not yet official) fact that he was an Utrom.
I could go on. How much more emotion do you need? The stuff I mentioned was just a mere fraction of all the depth and emotion the series had.
What did the old Toon have that was emotional besides Michelangelo crying during his birthday because the others got turned into inflated balloons?

there's that word "correcting" again! ok, i give u that, i meant pupils. i've yet to see an episode of the new series where they have pupils. i've seen several episodes of the new cartoon and i stick by what i said. i don't like it at all. you guys might find it good and better than the old series, but i'm a fan of the classic series. and that's just the way it is. nobody's going to convince me otherwise. so let's leave it at that
i've yet to see an episode of the new series where they have pupils.

They only don't have pupils with the bandanas on.
As for the Back to the Sewers season, they just decided to make it easier and give them pupils all around. Plus, they were going for the 2007 movie look anyway.

well, ok then. but i think u can get your point across with alot less attitude. your tone kinda pissed be off a little, and you packed a bit of attitude. we can both try to get our points across with less attitude, i'll admit that myself. i do tend to do that as well. any way, what's done is done, so we can move on.

They only don't have pupils with the bandanas on.
As for the Back to the Sewers season, they just decided to make it easier and give them pupils all around. Plus, they were going for the 2007 movie look anyway.
well, i thank u for clearing that up for me. but my opinion on the new show stands. just not that big a fan of it

Is the lack of pupils the only reason why you detest the new series? Cos' I kind of got lost.

Nah, he detests the New Series because it 'lacks' emotion 'compared' to the old series.
That's like comparing Bruce Lee to Steve Oedekerk.
Or worse yet, to Sarah Michelle Gellar.

I seriously think he just merged the old series with the old movies into one nostalgic conglomerate, then.
Then he would have to do the same thing with the new movie and the new series.
Not that it would matter.

Back on topic, I would probably be at least mildly interested in a remake of this show...I've seen maybe one episode though.
I just hate the fact that it's something that's been done before. A Star Trek reboot was needed, but Buffy is only a few years old...it's one of those things that I really equate with the decade of the 1990s as a whole...as sort of a symbol. Mainstream TV struck me as much more interesting then.

and the fact that i don't like the look of the New Series. and i just can't get the interested in it either. the first few episodes i watched, i seriously wanted to like it, but as i watched more, i started to get bored, so i stopped. then i picked up a bit on the "Back to the Sewers" and "Fast Forward" and still couldn't get interested.

pretty much. i'm an old school & nostalgic type. classic TMNT and classic He-Man and to stay on topic, classic Buffy and that's the way i likes it! :)

So classic Buffy, you mean the movie?
And really what you're saying about the new TMNT toon not holding your interest is that you may hav ADD or ADHD, and the original cartoon held your attention because it was a series of jokes and slapstick with a loose story?

I wonder if all is going to be changed or are they gonna keep the lore from the series. Never liked how they potrayed the vampires in the show, they where so... puny
execpt for Angel and Spike

I did think Drusilla had her moment though. Particular favorite was the way she handled Kendra.

yeah, but the general vampire was rather weak and even among demons and other evil stuff they where considered as "lower beings"
I liked the Dracula episode thought

you're kind of an idiot aren't you? ADD/ADHD, wtf? :ohwell: :roll:
Classic Buffy i mean the movie yes, but also the series. as for the new TMNT cartoon not holding my interest, i don't feel i need to explain myself to you or to anyone. i just like the old series better than the new series, period
I liked the Dracula episode thought
yeah the Dracula episode was good. some lol moments in there from beggining to end
you're kind of an idiot aren't you? ADD/ADHD, wtf? :ohwell: :roll:
Listen, homie. After being called out on everything you've said in this thread, you're not really in a position to be calling someone an idiot.
Gosh, I'm beginning to forget what this thread was about.

i am if it's by someone who is clearly an idiot and making stupid comments. it's fine to make comments on what someone says or "call out" as u so cleverly put it, but not cool to make idiotic comments against someone for no reason, like "you must have ADD/ADHD". so yeah, i do have posistion to call someone an idiot. you might not agree, but i don't trash other users here and i show respect, so i'd like the same courtesy.
now if we can drop all the mindless crap about nothing and get on with the topic of the thread. or maybe that's asking too much

Nobody who types like that is in a position to insult anyone. Learn how to spell "you" and then you may have a chance.
Also, get out of my country.
