Buffy is BACK! - HorrorMovies.ca

That's right kiddies, a new Buffy could be coming to theaters near you very, very soon! The original director, Fran Rebel Kuzui, of the first Buffy movie that came out back in 1992 is back in talks with Vertigo Entertainment to bring a relaunch or remake of the original film. But at this point, Joss Whedon is not involved.

Whedon is the name we normally associate first with anything related to Buffy. He wrote the first script and brought us the TV series and whatnot, but Kuzui has held onto the rights to Buffy and developed the script since she discovered the then unknown Joss Whedon.

The new Buffy movie won't tie in to the TV series at all, and some of your favorite characters from the TV won't make it to the big screen including Angel, Willow, Xander or Spike. However, Kuzui and associates don't want to trample on, or undo any of what the TV series has done for the franchise, and really want to take this back to the beginning for a relaunch, bringing a new Buffy for the next generation.

Currently Kuzui is getting pitches from writers to find the story they want to go with, after that they will start pitching to the studios for a home.

Whedon's involvement still isn't ruled out though, but the producers have yet to reach out to him on this project. My bet is, he'll want to get his hands involved in this and we'll see him on board for this project. Thanks to THR for the awesome news about this exciting new development, keep it here for more news as it breaks!
