What is this I don't even

[next_to_normal]

All right, I figure just about everyone has seen the news by now (and in case you haven't, read it and weep), but I don't want to grumble alone, so come join me! Who wants to go first?

It is ironic to me that, at this point, I don't think I actually want Joss anywhere near any sort of TV/movie continuation, given what he's chosen to do with the comics. But I still think Buffy with Joss is better than Buffy without Joss. Just... leave it the hell alone, won't you? Let us enjoy what we have without something new coming along to ruin the franchise more than it already is.

ETA: And we have responses from Joss and David Boreanaz.

The thing I don't get about this proposed remake is that the main reason for making it a remake at all would be to draw in fans of the original. And doing it this way would mostly seem to actively repel them.

From a strictly commercial standpoint it would seem to be better to make an entirely new movie and perhaps play it up as being "in the tradition" of Buffy or some such thing.

Exactly! But since vampires are such a hot thing right now, I'm sure there are enough fans who will go see anything with vampires in it. This way, they don't have to come up with anything original, and they might get a few old school fans who are curious. :-P
