...shouldn't this be in the main movies thread?
Yeah, read this earlier and almost threw up. According to the
Hollywood Reporter article, Joss Whedon is not involved in this reboot (yet), and the supporting characters will be replaced by new characters.
Buffy without the Scooby Gang? Sacrilege. And just our luck, they'll probably pick one of those bimbos from those stupid shows like The Hills to play the new Buffy, and turn it into a craptastic Twilight clone.
The article also got it wrong when they compared it to J.J. Abrams reboot of
Star Trek--at least the new Star Trek had all the original characters, and decades passed before it was relaunched.
