No Whedon either?
It looks like Hollywood is yet to start another remake, this time it is
Buffy the Vampire Slayer. One problem, no
Joss Whedon. That is correct, if Whedon is to come aboard the remake of the 1992 film, Whedon must audition for writing duties like everyone else. Now I understand TV is different than the film industry, but if you are ignoring all the mythology, tones and characters that helped make Whedon a household name, do we really want to see this remake? The series that debuted in 1997 had a 7 season run until 2003 and currently Dark Horse comics puts out a monthly season 8 comic book that is scripted by Whedon and just as successful as the TV series was. Not only that, but many critics constantly put this in Top TV Series of All Time lists.

Sometimes it's good to get fresh blood in there...Whedon's contribution is unnecessary and might even sabotage the script unwillingly...it can be good to bring in someone new, with a different view or ideas sometimes, especially somebody with more experience in film.
Your opinion is now invalid for everything!
